Edge and VORM celebrate highest point of The Pulse of Amsterdam

Today, Edge and VORM are proud to announce milestone of their mix-used development The Pulse of Amsterdam. In reaching the highest point on its 95-meter office tower, the building can proceed with its final stage of construction. Owned by Union Investment, the latest skyline shaper of Amsterdam is expected to be delivered in November 2024 and will offer 58,000 sqm of retail, leisure, cinema, offices and 200 residential apartments. 

Welcome to The Pulse of Amsterdam

Designed by architect firms MVSA Architects & VMX Architects, The Pulse is set to become an iconic addition to the South Axis of Amsterdam. The mix-used project will feature two towers: a residential tower and an office tower, connected by a plinth offering a green oasis for relaxation and biodiversity. Nestled between the towers, at a height of 35 meters on the ninth floor, a spectacular urban forest of approximately 600 square meters will provide another relaxation space for the future office tenants. At the heart of it all, The Pulse will boast a vibrant atrium where people can gather to meet and connect, and go to the new cinema of the neighborhood. The building is expected to receive both WELL Platinum and BREEAM Outstanding certifications after completion.

Boudewijn Ruitenburg, Chief Operating Officer at Edge

It’s great to see The Pulse reach this construction milestone. The building is making an entrance in the Zuidas area and is now clearly visible from the highway. We are excited for the next steps, including the completion of the façade works and planting the first trees. We’re happy to be working with great partners and I’m particularly proud to see the project following the scheduled timeline.”

Hans Meurs, CEO at VORM

We're almost ready to launch our unique green concept. The Pulse of Amsterdam will soon create a nature-inclusive, perpetually green part of the city. This will be a highly sustainable mixed-use residential tower in the Zuidas district, featuring 150 affordable mid-range rental units, combined with a wide range of functions within a single building. Our ambitions for sustainability and livability are: "exceed all expectations." I'm incredibly proud of what we're achieving here with our partners."

Edge and VORM would like to thank all partners, stakeholders, and the project team for their dedication to achieving this important milestone. Special thanks go to VORM Bouw and De Bosman Bedrijven, and all the subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants involved.
