Amsteloever: Integration with existing developments
The highly sustainable high-rise will enhance the Amstelstation-Amsteloever neighborhood. The design acknowledges the distinctive architecture of the Amsterdam School and Amstelstation, ensuring alignment with existing high-rise structures and Amsterdam’s architectural tradition. The development will replace part of the current housing, planned for demolition starting late 2024. The new complex will feature at least 335 homes, comprising a mix of moderately priced rental units and market-rate homes.
