Almere & Lelystad
Amsterdam Lelystad Airport As the city attracted ever more artists, entrepreneurs and students, many Amsterdammers found more affordable and spacious residence just outside the central area. In the past 50 years, new land was created in the Wetlands, the former South Sea. Innovative city planning and architecture attract professionals from all over the world to study this unique mix of residential areas, agribusiness and newly created wilderness. This part of the Metropolis still radiates the spirit of the pioneers. Its international airport is growing rapidly.
Amsterdam City This is the vibrant Heart of the city, with a thousand monuments on the World Heritage List. Cosmopolitan Amsterdam offers this unique mix of international vibe and laidback cosiness. The compact city: easy to reach, famous for its open atmosphere and genuine hospitality. The home of Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Anne Frank now houses two international universities, scores of professional schools, an airport and a seaport.
Haarlem
A historic city of culture, at 12 minutes by train from inner city Amsterdam, with extensive pedestrian shopping zones and a beach nearby. Haarlem is an attractive town for families with children, as it radiates a more provincial vibe. It is also home to many small high tech companies and start-ups. The white sandy beach stretches out over almost 150 km. All along this coast, travellers will discover miles of boulevards, terraces, shops and restaurants.
Haarlemmermeer
Zaanstad
At the doorstep of Amsterdam Airport, this residential and rural area is ideally situated between Central Amsterdam and the city of The Hague. Amsterdam Airport offers a variety of small and larger villages and towns, against an agricultural backdrop. Also, many suppliers to the Airport have found a home here, both for their companies and their families.
This part of Metropolitan Amsterdam has a rich history of industry. Between the many smaller towns are vast stretches of dairy country and even windmills. People here are industrious, scarce with words and modest. These qualities can also be recognized in the style of building and the landscape. This is an ideal area to find fresh air and fresh ideas - and to create new residential areas for the expanding population.

Amsterdam is an important metropolitan area in Europe. It is also the economic and cultural heart of Holland. In recent years, Amsterdam’s population has been growing rapidly. The majority of newcomers are young and talented: students and starters in the labor market. This group does not yet qualify for a mortgage. These young people are also reluctant to commit themselves to buying a home.
The Problem - a substantial shortage in affordable housing for rent, especially in the mid ranges (rents of 700 - 1,000 euro per month). The Solution - accelerate the development and construction of quality apartments in the middle ranges. Invited - investors in residential real estate with an eye for solid investment opportunities, from small-scale developments to grand new projects.
‘Amsterdam lacks nothing when it comes to supporting an entrepreneur.’ Raymond Welmers

Waterfront North & West
Amsterdam’s population is growing. Most of the 10,000 new inhabitants per year are students and highly trained professionals starting their careers. There is a substantial shortage of good quality yet affordable housing for this group. This is why Amsterdam is building more than 10,000 residential units yearly. The focus of new developments is geared toward the Ring of residential districts surrounding the popular heart of the city. In the West, Northwest, South and East, new and exciting housing projects are under construction. More will follow. The often very imaginative projects are helping to upgrade the Ring districts and make them more attractive to the young and bright.

Amsterdam City in a nutshell The steady influx of young and talented arrivals to Amsterdam has created a problem for the city. There is a substantial shortage in affordable housing for rent, especially in the middle ranges (rents of 700 - 1,000 euro per month). However, this problem creates interesting opportunities for investors in profitable residential real estate.

Amsterdam is accelerating the development and construction of quality apartments in the middle ranges. Investors in residential real estate with an eye for solid investment opportunities are actively invited to participate. Numerous projects are being developed, designed and built, from smallscale developments to grand new projects. Some 10,000 residential units are to be added yearly. Amsterdam’s ‘Ring zone’ - the districts directly surrounding the historic heart of the city - contains the most interesting investment propositions. Here are most of the new projects, offering the best prospects of solid revenue and increased resale value. This zone is easily accessible, offers excellent infrastructure and is less than 10 minutes away from downtown Amsterdam.

In recent years, Amsterdam has prudently invested in infrastructure, cultural facilities and public spaces. A host of renovated parks, museums, waterfronts and a new subway line have improved the quality of urban life and increased the appeal of the city to companies and institutions. Prudent government has contributed to make the city even more attractive to young professionals, urban families and to investors with a vision.

‘Our free spirit and innovative mindset can be found in everything we do.’ Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten
Amsterdam City North & West in a nutshell In recent years, Amsterdam City has been gradually expanding its city centre along the waterfronts. New residential areas were developed, partly in former industrial grounds, partly in newly created projects. Simultaneously, prominent cultural institutions like the EYE Film Museum, a new Music Hall and the Amsterdam Library selected this same area. The formula of offering new residents a combination of working, living and recreation in a brownfield area has proven quite successful.
Pontsteiger (Bouwinvest, De Nijs, Dura Vermeer)
To improve connections between the Northern waterfront and the Centre of Amsterdam, the City has recently reconstructed the CS central train and bus stations. In 2018, the new subway line will further disclose the Northwest waterfront areas.
The magnificent A’dam Tower - a former SHELL laboratory office building - will reopen its doors in 2016 featuring a rotating restaurant, an observation deck, a boutique hotel and two nightclubs. This landmark on the Amsterdam skyline will also house a gym, offices and an underground parking.
These waterfronts are particularly attractive to creative pioneers and millenials. Hundreds of small start-up companies in fields like ICT, marketing, design and architecture are now in business here. There are concrete plans for thousands of extra housing units. For investors seeking opportunities to invest in Amsterdam real estate projects, the NorthWest offers a variety of interesting and profitable projects. Both property value and rental yields are expected to rise in the coming decades particularly at the the edge of the waterfronts. In short: this is a great time and an ideal area to invest in solid residential real estate.

Close to the city centre, but never far from surrounding nature, public transportation, the highway or the airport. This combination is only possible in a compact urban area such as Amsterdam. The Eastern Green Living area is living proof of this claim. Here, Amsterdam is developing and building thousands of high quality apartments. Some are conventional in layout but spectacular in design. Others are a living experiment in exploring novel ways of community development. All are taking the human dimension into careful consideration. Along with residential projects, the City is taking care of creating space for shops, medical facilities, schools and daycare. The East area is designated to be an ideal environment for young urban families and students. Amsterdam Science Park offers inspiring office space to research institutes, companies and organisations specializing in IT, sustainability and life sciences. Residential projects are being developed and built to accommodate the entrepreneurs, scientists and students who work and study at the Science Park. Another area of particular interest is IJburg Island. This artificial island of 1,250 acres was created in the IJssel Lake and connected to the city by a tunnel and a bridge in 2001. Progress in development has slowed down after 2008 but is expected to pick up in the coming years. Property value and rental income are expected to rise in the East during the coming decades. This is a great time to invest in solid residential real estate. In short: this is a great time and an ideal area to invest in solid residential real estate.

The Hemmes
On this peninsula in the Zaan, many windmills once were turning. Now this has become a marvellous site to build unique houses, right on the waterfront. The owners wish to redevelop in a way that honours the historic heritage of this location.
The redevelopment of the Hembrug site, formerly in use by the Dutch military, is accelerating. Between North Sea Canal and the Zaan, public facilities are being put in place. Stately warehouses for guns and ammo are now made available for redevelopment. Designers, artists, design shops and craftsmen are moving in. The city is also creating space to build apartments here. The heart of Zaanstad has undergone a complete makeover, with imaginative new architecture like the Inntel hotel recreating local history with a modern twist. Because of this facelift, the town now attracts 25% more visitors and tourists, who also spend more during their visits. The present renovation of the Zaan locks & docks offers opportunities to revitalize other parts of the city centre. A new central location is evolving, an attractive meeting point favoured by locals and visitors. Along the Zaan, vacant lots and monuments are available for construction and renovation - like the ‘Kan Palen’ lot, a prime location for residential real estate. City administrators and landowners have joined forces and are seeking partners willing to commit to this promising project.
