9,814m² have been set aside for shops and services (6% of the building area). They will mainly be concentrated in the eastern part of the neighbourhood and will be part of the link with Esch’s main shopping street.
These shops and restaurants will liven up the ground floors of the Allée de la Culture Industrielle, as well as the area around the Portique. Close to the student accommodation, the retirement homes and the Halle des Turbines with its co-working and cultural spaces, they will enjoy a fantastic location enjoying the highest levels of footfall.
Rout Lëns will without a doubt be a sustainable, environmentally-friendly neighbourhood, so there are plans in place to encourage short supply chains.
One of IKO’s dreams is to set up a local market in the Magasin TT, right next to a micro-brewery. This would be supplied, among others, by the urban farm built on the French side of the site.
