What’s going well in Zuidas? What can be improved? You can give your personal view about this and other questions in the 2023 Zuid Neighbourhood Questionnaire. Your answers will help the Zuid city district to understand what you think about what’s going on in your neighbourhood.
On Wednesday, 11 October 2023, we are organising something very special. For the first time ever, you have an opportunity to take a look around the additional passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station: the Brittenpassage. It promises to be an impressive journey underneath the A10, the trains and metros.
On 2 October 2023, the tender procedure for a housing construction project in the Kenniskwartier (Knowledge District) was launched. Next to the still to be constructed Jaddanbaikade canal and Florence Pricehof, there are plans for 25 private-sector homes, with space for hospitality/catering on the ground floor.
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.
Starting in September 2023, we will spend a year working on the entrance to the new Ravel residential district: Maurice Ravellaan, with space for pedestrians, cyclists and plenty of green areas. We are also digging an actual canal, complete with bridges to the AFC sports fields.

On the site of the former temporary courthouse at Fred. Roeskestraat 55, there are plans to develop a building with offices and housing. The draft zoning plan for this development is now open for consultation until 18 October 2023. A walk-in evening has been scheduled for 21 September.
The Stepstone residential tower, the largest social housing project in Zuidas so far, reached its highest point in May 2023. In early 2024, first-timers aged up to 28 will start moving into one of the 216 starter homes in the social sector. Construction is running according to schedule.
Henk Appels will shortly be standing down as Building Manager at the Atrium in Strawinskylaan. He sees a Zuidas that is becoming increasingly busy: homes are being built, and there will be a tunnel and a new passageway in the future. ‘Ultimately, we all need to work together.’
Are you interested in organising a film festival, theatre production or concert in Zuidas? It could be possible thanks to a new subsidy scheme especially for cultural events. Private individuals and professional organisers can apply at any time during the year.
The evening of Saturday, 5 August 2023 marks the start of the closure of the A10 Zuid, in the direction of Utrecht and Hengelo. If you’re interested in finding out about what’s happening, why not come and take a look at the works at Amsterdam Zuid station. You can even take part in one (or more) of the other activities.
Behind the offices of AkzoNobel and Stibbe, we have started preparatory work for the construction of two residential towers. Upcoming work will include installing sheet piling into the ground. Construction is expected to start next year.
