On 26 April 2023, the tendering process for a new project in the future Ravel residential district was launched. Between the Valley building and De Boelelaan, there are two plots where social and mid-market rented housing, office accommodation and a supermarket are planned.
The ‘Sapiens’ creative partnership that was set to become part of Valley is coming to an end. Its initiators, Inholland University of Applied Science, Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam), have concluded that the enterprise is not viable.
Kindercampus Zuidas education centre has been allocated a new site in the future Ravel residential district. This has been agreed between the Public Education Foundation Stichting Openbaar Onderwijs aan de Amstel and the City of Amsterdam. It marks the first step in setting up the school in the new district.
The draft zoning plan for the ‘Zuidas-Ravel residential district’ has been open for consultation since 24 December 2020. Ravel will be a new residential district with around 1,350 homes. Work is set to start in 2022. The consultation period lasts until 3 February 2021.
Valley is gradually taking shape – the unique design is increasingly making its mark on the horizon. The Valley Amsterdam construction consortium recently published a video focusing on the building worker.
Zuidas will soon have a new residential neighbourhood: Ravel. Construction is set to start at the end of 2022, but there have been years of preparation leading up to that. As project manager, Monique Soe-Agnie has been very closely involved.
Starting in 2022, a new green, car-free neighbourhood called Ravel will be created in Zuidas, providing 1,350 homes. Most of these will be relatively large, and in the social rental or mid-range rental sectors. They will be located in a park-like setting, with plenty of space for play and recreation.
Valley has now become an unmissable eye-catcher in Zuidas. In mid-June, an extraordinary job was on the schedule. The Valley construction consortium started work hanging and fitting seven large protruding parts onto the building. Our photographer was on hand to capture it.
The builders working on the Valley project are currently working on both the shell of the building and on the interior. ‘Under the current circumstances, it’s pretty remarkable that our team of 150 is still working as normal’, says site manager Ruud van der Thiel.
