Manhattan at the Veilinghaven is a diabolical dilemma for Utrecht

It is clear that the tower will not be built. PvdA, D66, DENK and Student & Starter support the plan, almost unconditionally. But the largest party in the GroenLinks council is not so sure yet. Council member Fred Dekkers even said that his party is not yet in agreement internally. He called it a devil’s dilemma. β€œIt is fantastic that there will be 100 percent social housing, but we also understand the objections of the current residents, it is a substantial building plan because the building will be a lot higher than previously determined.” GroenLinks advocates removing the catering industry in the plinth from the complex.
