City Council member of land administration Eric van der Burg: “Oosterdoks island is a beautiful, central place to live, work, and relax near to Amsterdam Central Station. We are pleased that we will be able to create sustainable public and residential areas here. We are also pleased that we have been able to provide Booking.com, a company that was initiated in Amsterdam, with a location that can accommodate their growth and innovative working style. Connections and mixing of functions comprise the basis of this project.”
Jeroen Galle, project director ODE on behalf of BPD: “In recent years, Oosterdoks island has become a dynamic place where hundreds of people come to work, live, and socialize. It is now a modern part of the Amsterdam city center. This final sub-plan, designed by UNStudio / Ben van Berkel, is the final element in the development of this area, overlooking the Oosterdok, the IJ river, and the historic city center.”
