Leeuwenburg, Amsterdam
The (re)development of Leeuwenburg
With a gross floor area of approx. 64,000 m² the office building, which is situated entirely on freehold land, is one of the largest buildings in Amsterdam.
Until September 2022, the building was fully let to Hogeschool van Amsterdam (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences). Since September 2022, Hogeschool van Amsterdam has handed over the key and Vastint has started the (re)development of this project.
In June 2023, Vastint completed phase 1: the demolition pase. In total, more than 5.2 million kilos of material were stripped out, 97% of which were recycled or reused! 221 tonnes were stripped out for immediate reuse. Since January 2024, Vastint has started the asbestos remediation.
The building dates from the 1970s and was designed by the firm of architects Zanstra, de Clerq Zubli, Lammersma & Partners (currently known as ZZDP Architecten), which later also designed the Rembrandt Tower. In the 1970s the former Rijkspostspaarbank was the first lessee of the Leeuwenburg building.
