Strijp-S

Strijp-S (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstrɛip ˈɛs]) is a neighborhood and former industrial park in the Eindhoven district of Strijp.

The credo Van zand tot klant ("from sand to customer") stood behind the idea that Philips controlled every phase of production from research to storage, from glass blowing to cardboard factory: everything on one enormous piece of land.

In 2002 the land was sold for €140 million to Park Strijp Beheer B.V., a public private partnership between the city of Eindhoven and VolkerWessels.

With the departure of Philips the plans was implemented to make the area a broad destination for the creative sector, including technology and design, under the English headline Old Buildings, New Ideas.

In 2016 the creative school St. Lucas opened at Strijp-S.[2] In 2012 Strijp-S got its first permanent residents, when the SAS-3 project was completed (new construction).

A year later the repurposed industrial SAN en SBP buildings were ready for residential use.

The buildings were renamed GERARD and ANTON, in honor of two prominenta members of the Philips family.
