The philanthropic foundation contributes to the city, and what we continue to develop through the board
I just took a bicycle tour to stop and admire the buildings, and to reflect on what this philanthropic foundation contributes to the city, and what we continue to develop through the board.
Created a century ago, the foundation had a clear social purpose: to provide good housing for people connected to the working life of the city.
Today, the buildings contain more than 100 apartments and are protected for their architecture, craftsmanship and social history. Their story also reflects the importance of shipping and the harbour to the city’s development.
