Draft zoning plan for northern zone of IJsbaanpad open for consultation

In this area – located to the north of IJsbaanpad, between Amstelveenseweg and the Na-Druk-Geluk bridge  – there are plans for housing, offices and a range of amenities. The northern zone of IJsbaanpad will be divided into four building plots, on which around 250 homes, a school, two child daycare centres, offices and a pedestrian bridge across Stadiongracht will be developed. The existing buildings in this area will be demolished in phases to make this possible. This development will help to meet the significant need for housing in the City of Amsterdam. The plans for this part of Verdi were already set down in the Verdi Subplan 1 Investment Memorandum (Investeringsnota Verdi Deelplan 1), which was approved by the City Council in September 2019.

The City of Amsterdam is working on plans to develop the Verdi area – located between the river Schinkel and Amstelveenseweg – into a mixed residential/working zone. This will be based on our vision of connecting, consolidating and making things greener. Earlier this year, we reported about the cancellation of part of these plans (relocation of the Sporthallen Zuid sports complex in a stacked building and the development of new housing in the space created). The plan was to organise an information meeting about it this year. However, work is still under way to assess how the renovation and extension of the sports complex can be integrated within the plans. We are postponing the information meeting until that becomes clearer. If, in the meantime you have any questions about the Verdi area development or the Sporthallen Zuid, please contact the Zuidas Information Centre.
