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.
Around 18 months after construction started, Tripolis-Park is now gradually nearing completion. On the outside, the final sections of the new sustainable façade are being added to the former towers. Inside, the contractor is working on the finishing details.
On Tuesday, 28 September, Amsterdam Zuidas organised the Green Walk through Verdi. With around 45 local residents, we took a walk through the area and discussed the Verdi Green Plan ('Groenplan Verdi').
A milestone for Tripolis Park: the exterior of the building is now more or less completed and all square metres of office accommodation have been let. The contractor is now working on the interior. In this, sustainability is a very important factor.
The residents of Verdi, the westernmost neighbourhood of Zuidas, have heard a lot of talk about a greener Verdi. What exactly we mean by that is outlined in the Verdi Green Plan (‘Groenplan Verdi’). On 28 September 2021, we will be telling you all about it during a walk. Would you like to join us and take part in the conversation?
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.
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.
