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.
Last summer saw the three core sections of Valley reach their highest point. The next milestone involves building a steel frame in the shape of a doughnut. In it, there will ultimately be a huge skybar.
The two new AFC football pitches have now been completed. Project supervisor Mascha de Haan: ‘This means that they can now officially be used. It’s actually already happened, unofficially.’
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.
At the Goed Genoeg sports park, home of AFC, contractor Sallandse United is busy working on the completion of two new football pitches. Sports Division Manager Arjan Emaus: ‘There’s a lot happening around us while we’re working – the football has to continue.’
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.
“It’s an extremely complicated puzzle. We’ve been working on it for the past twenty years.” Designer Joost de Wit and urban planner Martijn de Wit are talking about the refurbishment of the ‘Goed Genoeg’ sports complex which is the home of AFC.
The ‘Goed Genoeg’ sports park, the home of AFC, is to get new pitches and a new clubhouse. AFC chairman, Ad Westerhof, is happy that work has started because the preparation process was long and caused much debate.
