The potential of Arnhem East is there; close to downtown, easily accessible and nature within reach.

The Railzone Arnhem East contributes significantly to the urbanization task, by approximately 8,000 to 10,000 new homes along a robust (new) rail park which connects the Veluwe with the rivers the IJssel and Nederrijn. Besides, new jobs are created by strengthening and densifying the existing business areas.
