History
The iconic former post office in de Neude, known and loved by many Utrecht residents, has been renovated and repurposed. The post office closed its doors in 2011 and then functioned as a telephone exchange until 2015. In order to preserve the monumental building, and to make it accessible to the residents of Utrecht, MRP created Post Utrecht. Today, it functions as a 18.000 m2 library, a food market, F&B, bicycle park and shopping area. A cooperation with Zecc Architecten, Burgland Bouw, Deerns, FiMek Estate, Josefien & Co, Koninklijke Tichelaar, Peutz, Het Oversticht, Zonneveld ingenieurs
