MORE Than a Landmark!
Amsterdam, 15 November 2024—The Pulse, a groundbreaking mixed-use development that harmoniously blends premium residential, commercial, and public spaces with urban nature, has officially reached completion. This visionary 57,000 m² project, developed by VORM & EDGE and designed by VMX Architects, MVSA Architects, and DELVA Landscape Architecture Urbanism, stands as a testament to innovative urban design. The milestone was marked today with a celebratory project delivery event.
Featuring two distinct towers—one dedicated to office spaces and the other to residential use—The Pulse is united by a dynamic, public-oriented plinth that fosters a lively, multifunctional environment. This vibrant base includes cafés, a cinema, and a supermarket, catering to diverse urban lifestyles. Rising 35 meters above ground, an urban forest of native trees forms a suspended green oasis, enhancing biodiversity and offering a serene escape within the cityscape. The Pulse sets a new benchmark for Amsterdam, exemplifying excellence in housing, sustainability, mobility, and the integration of nature into urban living.

Today, we received the building permit for our second project in Zuidas, Amsterdam! This project, located in the Ravel district, is part of a vibrant, family-friendly, and car-free area designed to promote community and sustainability. Our "Tic Tac Toe" project will be among the first developments in this exciting new neighborhood, with construction scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025.

Nominated!
With the addition of an extra floor to the “Loft Office” project in Houthavens, we also upgraded the south-facing facade, integrating 237 solar panels with a total capacity of 68,000 watt-peak, producing an estimated 54,129 kWh annually. This provides a substantial contribution to the building’s energy needs. The project has now been nominated for the “Future Energy Awards.”

4 WEEKS!
The contractor has four weeks remaining to complete the final work on The Pulse. The project's handover is scheduled for November 15th. After that, tenants will likely have time to move in, with the project expected to open to the public at the start of 2025. We are eager to see how the public will experience and respond to this exciting new development.

Let’s MEET!
An evening with Edwin Oostmeijer:
We are going to be neighbors! Let me introduce myself. My name is Edwin Oostmeijer. I am developing residential buildings in Amsterdam. Next to the KinderCampus at the Zuidas, project Tic Tac Toe will be being built in 2025.
A fifty-meter-high residential building in a sparkling pink color. Situated at the Hector Berliozlaan our building Tic Tac Toe will offer space for 75 affordable rent apartments for families as well as community facilities like a café and places to meet or work. Tic Tac Toe's design fits entirely into the environmental plan, except for the building-related outdoor spaces on the roof. In doing so, we exceed the total meters allowed for residential use to a small extent.
Are you curious about our building?
Might you want to live here? Do you have ideas about filling in the plinth? We will be happy to show you the design of Tic Tac Toe on Monday, September 30, 2024 and are looking forward to your reaction. Hope to see you soon!
