Large and small buildings alternate sympathetically together and within the uniquely designed outdoor recreational places. This center has a highly distinctive look and atmosphere.

Alderman Harry Bosch (municipality of Utrecht) said: "This shopping center will, both physically and functionally, be the heart of Vleuterweide, since, in addition to the shops and restaurants, the immediate vicinity offers many amenities, including the health center and the Cultural Campus, housing a library, a meditation center, the Amadeus Lyceum and various other quasi-public facilities. A fine addition to the facilities of Leidsche Rijn."
