Amstel III to get 245 senior housing units
Amsterdam and developer VORM are set to build a new residential complex in Amstel III featuring approximately 245 housing units for seniors aged 55 and older. The project will include mid-rent and free-market rental properties. The building will be located at Hessenbergweg 8-10 in Amsterdam Southeast and will also offer various amenities such as care services, a communal space, and hospitality facilities for residents and the neighborhood.
The new residential building is designed by Jury! Architecten.
Growing older in your own neighborhood
We want Amsterdam residents to age independently, comfortably, and safely, preferably in their familiar surroundings. To achieve this, it is essential to have sufficient housing options with nearby meeting spaces and care services. The construction of this residential complex is a step in the right direction and also serves as a good example of how we aim to transform Amstel III from an office district into a mixed residential and commercial area. Additionally, it contributes to improving housing market mobility.
A pleasant living environment
The housing units will be designed to ensure residents can live comfortably and safely, even as mobility decreases. With various amenities in the vicinity for a pleasant and carefree living environment. For instance, there will be a shared communal space, care facilities, and hospitality venues on the ground floor, as well as a bicycle parking area and a parking garage—both integrated into the building. This design leaves ample outdoor space for greenery, walking, sitting, or socializing.
Promoting neighborhood resident mobility
When allocating the rental properties, seniors from Amsterdam Southeast will receive priority. This approach allows residents to remain in their familiar neighborhood longer while simultaneously freeing up housing for other Amsterdam residents. Thus, the project contributes to improving mobility within the district.
Next steps
The developer is currently finalizing the building’s design. This summer, they will present the design to neighborhood residents, entrepreneurs, and other interested parties. The Senior Network Southeast will also be involved in further developing the plans. Construction is expected to commence at the end of 2027.
