In the space of 18 months, The Pulse of Amsterdam has been transformed from a construction pit to an eyecatcher in the making. Alongside the A10, the two towers in this megaproject have shot out of the ground like mushrooms. Time for an update on construction progress.
Since the summer of 2021, the Kenniskwartier (or ‘Knowledge District’) has been building what should become the centrepiece of this new neighbourhood: The Pulse of Amsterdam. There’s not much to see at street level at the moment, but the contractors are already putting the finishing touches to the foundations below the ground.
The CROSSOVER building, currently under construction in the Kop Zuidas neighbourhood, will feature a special mixture of residents and users. It will have space for residence permit-holders, first-timers and businesses. The focus will be on friendships, working together and knowledge-sharing.
Work starts on the housing complex The Newton in Kop Zuidas on around 1 November 2021. But there’s much more happening in this most easterly neighbourhood of Zuidas. Buildings are appearing, an old building is disappearing and we are working on new public squares. We provide an overview below.
Between now and 2025, approximately 1,700 new homes are set to be built in Zuidas. Around 6,000 more will follow after that. This will amount to about 10,000 homes in total, considerably more than the 7,000 envisaged in the Zuidas Vision (Visie Zuidas). We are building them for all the people of Amsterdam.
We are cutting down trees in two places in Zuidas. In order to provide space for the Conservatorium van Amsterdam music academy in Kapel & Convict, fifteen trees need to be felled. We will also be removing fifteen trees along the A10 in order to build The Pulse.
A building that combines living and working with public facilities such as a cinema, bowling alley and cafés and restaurants. That is the concept of VORM Ontwikkeling for a new building on the site between the A10 and the sports fields of SC Buitenveldert.
