Amsterdam is known for its combination of buzzing city-life and old-town charm. Adding to the attraction of the area, the city is currently constructing its tallest residential and hotel tower. This mixed-use project will be situated next to the Amstel Station in Julianaplein to garner more tourist attention and will be in close proximity to other large-scale tourist developments such as More Park, Science Park Amsterdam, and the Rembrandt, the tallest skyscraper in Amsterdam.
Amstel Tower will be 100 metres high with a sleek exterior, featuring a wrap-around canopy on each floor to protect residents from the summer sun. The building will encompass 7500 square metres of hotel space and 192 apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows to provide spectacular views of the city below. The developer, Provast, has commissioned architects at the Powerhouse Company to create this design, and the project is currently under construction.
So far, piling work is complete and on-site rebar indicates where the structure will begin to rise. Construction on Amstel Tower is expected to be completed in December of 2017.
