Javelin Park
In redeveloping the 158-hectare site of the former Royal Air Force (RAF) Brüggen, an active British airbase until 2001, and subsequently the British Army’s Javelin Barracks, our aim is to create a strong and vibrant business park for the further economic development of Niederkrüchten and the region. The planned business park will create 5,000 to 8,500 new jobs in commerce and industry over the next 10 to 15 years while also bringing modern infrastructure that will benefit the entire region.

New life for an old bunker
Finding creative new uses for old structures: we will retain the former military bunker complex at the south of the site, integrating it into the business park as energy storage for the planned heating and cooling network.
A magnet for local businesses
Businesses of all types and sizes, from small trades to established companies, need the right space to thrive and grow. The benefits for Niederkrüchten and the region? Local economic growth, job creation, and new sources of local tax revenue will make it an even better place to live and work, long into the future.
New, convenient motorway access
The primary road access to Javelin Park will be directly from the motorway, thereby providing easy access for goods transport and other commercial vehicles so they don’t rely on existing local roads. To ensure that this access is as convenient as possible, a new motorway entrance will be constructed.
Preserving nature and green spaces
Our commitment to preserving and enhancing natural habitats is central to the creation of this new park. Needless to say, the site’s protected areas will remain fully intact.
Respect for trees
In redeveloping Javelin Park, Verdion is committed to protecting the natural environment. As part of our comprehensive landscape plans, protected trees on the site, such as the small-leaved lime tree (Tilia cordata), will be preserved and other existing trees will be retained as much as possible.
Museum
Niederkrüchten and the United Kingdom: history has brought the two of us together. This site was a former RAF base and played an important role in the Cold War. Our plans include a museum to honour the many people, both service personnel and civilians, who played a part in this important and interesting chapter, and to preserve these memories for future generations.
New service and rest area
The spacious service and rest area will offer a restaurant, toilets and shower facilities, ample lorry parking, and infrastructure to support clean, modern energy transport. It will serve local residents as well as private and commercial traffic from across the region.
Rooftop photovoltaics
Business park occupiers are increasingly asking for renewable energy to meet their sustainability goals, particularly solar power generated directly on site. With this need in mind, we are planning extensive photovoltaic generation from the business park’s rooftop areas.
Preserving nature and green spaces
The business park will be built on a brownfield site, meaning that much of its land has been contaminated through decades of military use and will be remediated as part of the development process. Because it is a brownfield, rather than greenfield development, existing green spaces will be preserved and under no circumstances will there be any infringement upon protected nature reserve areas.
100% renewables
New infrastructure will be needed – to meet the energy needs of Javelin Park while meeting our sustainability goal of 100% renewable energy. In addition to the extensive rooftop photovoltaic systems in our business park, PNE AG is creating an energy park nearby to generate solar and wind power on the former airbase runway. Together with PNE, Fraunhofer UMSICHT and the local community, we are developing concepts to provide renewable energy – not only for Javelin Park but also for the village of Niederkrüchten.
Green corridors
Today’s demands and expectations of a new business park are rightfully high – from both occupiers and from the surrounding community. That’s why we’re planning attractive green areas for work breaks and to improve the microclimate, along with green corridors that will be open to the public once the business park is complete.
An economic catalyst creating a wide range of new jobs
Whether for large, medium-sized or small companies, whether for logistics, production or local artisans: Javelin Park will create new space to host a wide range of companies and high-quality jobs. The complex will benefit the entire region, in particular the town of Niederkrüchten itself, which will have a stronger local tax base, thereby further expanding future opportunities to make Niederkrüchten an even better place to live and work.
Modern infrastructure to support growth and relieve traffic congestion
Javelin Park will bring more to Niederkrüchten than just high-quality space for businesses. A service and rest area with ample on-site parking will serve not only travellers and commercial drivers from throughout the region but also local residents. The planned relocation of the motorway entrance will put the necessary capacity in place for the region’s growing economy while at the same time relieving local traffic congestion.
Sharing our historical experiences with future generations
What does Niederkrüchten have to do with the United Kingdom? History has brought us together. Even after the British officially left, our shared memories and the bonds of friendship have endured to the present day. We wish to honour this rich history and preserve its memories with a museum to bring this story alive for future generations.
A business park in harmony with sustainability
Can economic growth go together with sustainability? Absolutely – and that’s what Javelin Park is all about. The business park will be constructed on an existing brownfield site. By turning this former military facility into an attractive modern business park, this project is a win not only for the economy but also for nature and the environment. Because when companies move into space built on redeveloped land in Javelin Park, they bring jobs and growth to the region – without sacrificing the region’s existing green spaces.
Holistically designed for the energy of tomorrow
The transition to renewables is an extraordinary challenge. We at Javelin Park are committed to doing our part to achieve this important goal. Whether through photovoltaics on the roof, hydrogen-based energy storage, or locally generated renewable energy from the neighbouring energy park, Javelin Park is being holistically designed and optimised for renewable energy – and this means 100% free of fossil fuels. And through a new power substation, urgently needed infrastructure for the energy transition is being created which will also make energy supply to the surrounding community more sustainable.

Project facts vs rumours
From the outset, we have promised a regular and open exchange with the community and all those with an interest in this project – and this is a promise we will keep. We know that there are currently various rumours in circulation regarding Javelin Park, and we would like to set the record straight. Here are the facts:
Javelin Park will offer new opportunities to Niederkrüchten and the entire region – including our friends in the neighbouring Netherlands. The business park will directly create not only new jobs but also new infrastructure. For the town of Niederkrüchten, this development will create new sources of ongoing tax revenue and thus greater future financial resources to make Niederkrüchten an even better place to live and work.
Together with the planned energy park, Verdion is working on concepts to supply the surrounding area with renewable energy, thereby providing yet another important benefit to the community.
It is too soon to know what specific companies will settle in Javelin Park, or even to say with any certainty what kinds of companies these will be. However, our experience with comparable business parks has shown that these projects bring diverse job opportunities to the local region, ranging from office work to skilled trades, from research and engineering to marketing and warehouse logistics and more.
The appraisers who will provide independent expert opinions on this project and its impact are selected by the town of Niederkrüchten and must meet demanding quality standards.
As the developer, Verdion will pay all costs incurred through the development of Javelin Park – including the costs for these expert opinions – as agreed under the terms of the development agreement with the town of Niederkrüchten.
Projects of the scale and complexity of Javelin Park are typically divided into multiple phases of development and construction, which means that the planning process is likewise staggered. The business park will be completed and occupied over the next 10 to 15 years, with new companies gradually moving in and establishing operations over this period as the structures are completed and leased.
The independent expert opinions will consider the effects of the entire project. As to the early-stage public participation, which is important to us, please note that the published information can only extend through the current (first) construction phase, as is usual in this process.
It is important to Verdion that this former military facility be redeveloped with a view to the future, which means making it as sustainable as possible. In thinking about the ecological balance of this project, it is worth noting that the site currently remains contaminated from military use, which will be remediated as part of the new development. We are introducing a number of green technologies into the development as well as supporting clean infrastructure for the wider area. We are also taking various measures to minimise this project’s environmental impact and retain key natural habitats and no unspoiled green areas will be sacrificed while the existing brownfield land is being redeveloped. Learn more about our comprehensive sustainability approach.
Javelin Park will be directly accessible from the A52 through a new motorway entrance. For our occupiers, this will mean faster and more convenient access for deliveries and company vehicles. For the people of Niederkrüchten, this will mean no significant increase in local traffic.
Even assuming maximum traffic flows to and from Javelin Park, the traffic impact assessment by an independent expert does not anticipate any impairments or increased local congestion caused by the project.
As to emissions from vehicle traffic, Verdion is committed to the transport solutions of the future and to reducing vehicle emissions. You can learn more about our efforts to promote sustainable mobility and alternative transport options on our sustainability page.
