From 2 April until Friday, 28 June, a temporary tram shed is being built for the museum tram next to Jachthavenweg. This is expected to cause some disruption to traffic. Some parking spaces will also be temporarily out of use.
Tripolis-Park is approaching completion after almost three years. Uber, its main tenant, will soon be moving into one of the three towers and part of the new building – the ‘horizontal’ skyscraper, dubbed a ‘landscraper’. Law firm De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek will follow at the end of 2023.
The City of Amsterdam and owner First Sponsor are initiating a study into possibilities for redeveloping the Meerparc office building in Amstelveenseweg. The two parties signed a letter of intent to this effect on 21 October 2022.
Above all else, 2022 was the year when funding for the Zuidasdok project was finalized. But of course, it was also a year when we just kept on building. Many new homes were completed and work continued on the major upgrade at Amsterdam Zuid station. Preparations also began on the renovation of the motorway interchange at De Nieuwe Meer.
The bridge connecting Damloperspad and Jachthavenweg, just to the south of the A10, has been temporarily restored. As a result, it is at last possible to walk all the way around De Nieuwe Meer again, much to the delight of many.
The transformation of Tripolis Park has reached an important phase. A year and a half after the start of construction, work is now underway on the exterior. It is turning out to be quite a puzzle. ‘The original complex has more than 1,700 different window frames, all of which we had replicated.’
All you need to do is blink and there’s another totally new building in Zuidas. In less than a years’ time, it will be virtually impossible to avoid the Tripolis-Park ‘landscraper’. Building quickly and effectively is what Niels Beentjes, planning engineer at construction company G&S Bouw, enjoys doing.
Residents are becoming concerned about the accessibility of the northern part of Verdi, which we intend to develop. They are worried that the area between de Schinkel and Amstelveenseweg will become too congested. Here are the answers to the four most frequently-asked questions.
The four columns of the future Tripolis Park landscraper are complete. Their stature means that they can be seen from afar. As a result, the ‘horizontal skyscraper’ is already a landmark, although the towers themselves will soon be hidden behind a covering.
In the blink of an eye, there are suddenly two tremendous 45-metre concrete towers between Tripolis Park and the A10 motorway. ‘Because we built the towers with slip forming, we were able to complete them in just 18 days’, says Henry de Koning.
The special shapes of Tripolis are still standing, but nonetheless everything looks different compared to 5 months ago. The demolition works have almost been completed and G&S Bouw is now working on the foundation of the ‘landscraper’, a reclining skyscraper.
