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 City of Amsterdam and housing association Eigen Haard have agreed plans for approximately 275 rental homes in the new Ravel residential neighbourhood. Most of the homes will be social housing. The plans will now be worked out in greater detail.
The Kenniskwartier neighbourhood is set to gain 73 new mid-market and private-sector rental homes. The sustainable Scala development, comprising eight residential floors, will feature a lively ground floor area and a distinctive passageway connecting the street frontage with an inner courtyard. Scala is scheduled for completion in 2030.
Adjusting the parking standard for car parking at new office developments in Zuidas requires further research. Public participation shows that the so-called 0-norm for car parking spaces leads to mixed responses. We are therefore starting a follow-up study into the effects and possible scenarios.
