The Municipality of Amsterdam has selected Rönesans Holding’s subsidiary Ballast Nedam Development's proposal to redevelop Amstelstation-Amsteloever plots 3 and 4, known as Van der Kunbuurt. The winning plan includes approximately 335 residences, a rooftop garden, community room, public parking garage, and space for hospitality and retail.
Rönesans Holding x Ballast Nedam
The Amsteloever Project is a product of selective tendering, a central tenet of the partnership between Rönesans Holding and Ballast Nedam, with Ballast Nedam benefitting from Rönesans Holding’s wealth of project expertise in high-rise building construction and Ballast Nedam contributing core capabilities in large-scale infrastructure projects. The two companies have undertaken similar projects with great success, including the Cartesius Utrecht, a healthy urban development, consisting of 30% greenery, with over 2,800 houses, a large park, restaurants, and 100 bi-directional shared cars. Project Jonas, a consciously sustainable building located in Amsterdam’s IJburg Bay, consisting of 8 stories and 273 apartments, earned Rönesans Holding a nomination in the Green Building/Infrastructure Project of the Year category at the 2024 Edie Awards. Rönesans Holding’s broader international teams and supply chains differentiate Ballast Nedam and offer opportunities to apply the best practices to all Dutch projects.Integration with existing developments
The highly sustainable high-rise will enhance the Amstelstation-Amsteloever neighborhood. The design acknowledges the distinctive architecture of the Amsterdam School and Amstelstation, ensuring alignment with existing high-rise structures and Amsterdam's architectural tradition. The development will replace part of the current housing, planned for demolition starting late 2024. The new complex will feature at least 335 homes, comprising a mix of moderately priced rental units and market-rate homes.
400 social housing units
The new complex is part of the Van der Kunbuurt development. Alongside this project, housing corporation Stadgenoot will construct 400 social housing units here. Onno Dwars (CEO Ballast Nedam Development): “With this development between Amsteloever and Amstelstation, we are giving a significant boost to this area. Together with Stadgenoot, we are creating a neighborhood that caters to every segment of the housing market. We are proud of the design we are presenting today: high-rise structures with extensive use of wood, abundant space for urban biodiversity, seamless integration with the existing cityscape, and beautiful public spaces within and around the buildings. We look forward to making this a success together with the Municipality of Amsterdam and Stadgenoot!"
Rooftop Garden
The communal areas connect to the semi-public rooftop garden built atop the parking garage. This garden will feature edible herbs, plants, natural play facilities, and will be fully accessible to seniors and people with disabilities, with multiple entrances. Residents will also have access to a collective rooftop garden on the tower's podium level. Round private terraces will create an appealing link between the two gardens.
Construction Start
Construction is scheduled to commence by late 2026. Team
The plan was developed in collaboration with VMX Architects, Group A / CarbonLab, Felixx Landscape Architects, Heddes Bouw & Ontwikkeling, WSP, W/E Adviseurs, and Linkeroever. The CGI’s were created by WAX.
