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.
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.
From 22 April to mid-July 2026, we will be working at the junction of Beethovenstraat and Maurice Ravellaan. During this period, we will complete the final layout of the junction. The pedestrian and cycle crossing will be closed, and motorists will also experience disruption.
In April 2026, construction will begin on Benten in the Kenniskwartier innovation district. Benten will be a residential building with 127 rental apartments for students of DUWO housing corporation. Contractor Plegt-Vos is moving quickly: ‘In 12 months, the building will be complete.’
