of the area rose a sixteen-story skyscraper for the elderly, with an adjacent shopping mall, a garage and later demolished a library. Along the northern edge are two schools and a nursery built. The main square between the schools, after a major renovation in 2007 reopened. Furthermore, the district still has a botanical garden and a petting zoo. The district, like the Plan Van Gool in Garden City Buikslotermeer, often considered a precursor of the Bijlmer, where the separation of the various traffic types in the original design even further was made, but in this case is not quite correct because the plans were developed almost simultaneously.
