In Beethovenstraat, Zadelhoff is developing the complex ‘The Harmony’, two buildings (The Cayon and The Coast) with 63 social rental homes and 85 mid-market rental homes. They will be part of the new Ravel residential district that is set to be built between the new AFC football pitches and De Boelelaan.
Housing, employment & leisure
The Harmony will be on two plots (C and D) and will have a total gross floor area of 35,000 sq. m. The buildings name refers to the diversity of its functions, such as housing, employment and relaxation in two healthy and sustainable buildings. On the ground floor, there will be amenities serving the community, such as a supermarket, shops and bars and restaurants. Property developer Zadelhoff is keeping the mid-market rental properties in its own portfolio and the social rental housing is being developed by the Rochdale housing corporation. The complex will also feature state-of-the-art office accommodation.
Sustainable design
The Harmony has been designed by Powerhouse Company and is a good match for the urban side of Beethovenstraat and the quieter, greener side of the Ravel residential district. The ground floor will be lively and challenging in its design. Both buildings, The Canyon (55 m in height) on the northerly plot next to Valley and The Coast on the southerly plot rate very good in terms of energy performance and are being built using sustainable materials.
Additional information
- 14,000 m² of office space
- 12,000 m² of ground-floor amenities such as cafés and retail

Ravel residential district
The new Ravel residential district, which The Harmony will soon be a part of, will be a mixed, green, low-traffic neighbourhood offering space for around 1,350 homes. More than half of these will be suitable for families, including the mid-market rental properties in The Harmony. In Ravel, the city-wide 40-40-20 rule will also apply: 40% social rental housing, 40% mid-market rental or owner-occupied and 20% private sector. In 2024, Stichting Openbaar Onderwijs will start work on the construction of the Kindercampus Zuidas on the River Amstel. The construction of the first homes will start in the summer of 2024 with 75 social rental homes in the Ravelly building, also being developed by the Rochdale housing corporation.
