MAX & MOORE

Dutch developers Being and COD sold two office buildings in Amsterdam-North. Amundi Real Estate, on behalf of funds it manages, has acquired, as part of a future state of completion sale. 

Construction started in July 2020 and completion is scheduled for the end of 2021.

The development is approximately 9,800 sq m, divided into 7,000 sq m for Max and 2,800 sq m for Moore. The buildings will be partially connected and will offer 90 outdoor parking spaces and an indoor bicycle garage.

The project meets rigorous environmental criteria and aims for BREEAM Excellent certification. The buildings will be equipped with solar panels on the roofs and facades; it will use geothermal power to heat and cool the buildings, recovering energy directly from the ground. Greenery is the strong connector between both buildings, with terraces and double-height winter gardens.

Max & Moore is located in a former industrial area in the heart of Buiksloterham, a lively mixed neighbourhood on the Northern IJ banks of Amsterdam. Situated on the waterfront, its contemporary design is consistent with the neighbourhood’s culture of sustainability, creativity and entrepreneurship. The buildings are easily accessible via the A12 highway – the IJ tunnel is nearby –, both the metro and a ferry will take users to Central Station and Amsterdam’s city centre is two kilometres away.

NL real estate – Knight Frank and CBRE have advised Being and COD during the entire commercial process.
