Where?
The Amsterdam environmental plan sets out the rules for what can be built in Amsterdam and where. At this location in the Vivaldi neighbourhood, there will need to be a zoning change from parking to housing and amenities in order for the tower to be built. In recent months, the City of Amsterdam has been preparing the draft amendment to the environmental plan.
Draft decision
The City Executive has now made the decision to put out the draft plan for consultation. There are six weeks to respond to the draft decision, from Thursday, 4 December 2025 until Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
Definitive approval of environmental plan
After the six-week consultation period, definitive approval of the environmental plan will follow, probably in March or April 2026. Based on the approved zoning plan, the developer will then be able to apply for the environmental permit for the actual construction of the building.
The First Sponsor Group and the City of Amsterdam have plans to make the Meerparc office building into a lively place, with housing, offices, commercial amenities and a lot of green areas. Their ideas for the plans were shared with the local neighbourhood on 14 January 2026.
In the new Ravel residential district over the last year, we have been working on an ingenious junction of cables and pipelines. The work involved digging alongside Beethovenstraat to a depth of around 5 m below street level. This not only caused disruption, but also produced some great pictures.
During the 2025 Christmas holiday, the Kindercampus Zuidas is moving into brand-new accommodation at the heart of the Ravel residential district. The current building, 100 m to the east, will not remain unoccupied. The Willemsparkschool from Amsterdam Zuid is temporarily moving into it.
