INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESIDENTIAL TOWERS BOSTON & SEATTLE, WILHELMINAPIER, .

MAKE BUILDINGS SMARTER

The information in this flyer and any future newsletters is also available in Dutch. Please visitwijbouwen.nu/bostonseattle for more information. BOSTON & SEATTLE

Boston & Seattle are the names of the two towers to be constructed. Each tower will have 23 floors, which means they will be 70 metres high. They will contain a total of 220 apartments to be sold or rented out, in addition to private parking for residents. The first floor of the towers will feature 1,7002 m dedicated to culture, shops and the food service industry, as well as two layers of subterraneous public parking. In short, the presence of Boston & Seattle will further enhance the lively atmosphere of the Wilhelminapier.

CONSTRUCTED BY A FAMILIAR FACE We at J.P. van Eesteren were asked to oversee the construction of this project. We are a construction company based in Rotterdam. You might know us from projects like De Kuip, de and the nearly completed Markthal. Our mission statement: to make buildings smarter. That means we design buildings to be future-proof: sustainable, flexible and multifunctional. It also means, however, that we use “smart” construction techniques to limit disturbances to the environment.

DEVELOPED BY TWO HIGHLY EXPERIENCED PARTIES Boston & Seattle is a project of v.o.f. Pier III, a cooperation between Bouwfonds Ontwikkeling and Synchroon Ontwikkelaars. Both parties have years of experience with the development of residential and retail projects. Like J.P. van Eesteren, Synchroon is part of the TBI Group.

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION Boston & Seattle will receive a BREEAM certificate of sustainability. BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a method for sustainable design and construction.

WHAT WILL CONSTRUCTION MEAN FOR THE TRAFFIC SITUATION? During construction, the Otto Reuchlinweg will be partially closed on workdays and during work hours. In the evening, on weekends and during cruise days and events the Otto Reuchlinweg will be entirely open to all public and traffic. On workdays, we will ensure that traffic is able to leave the Wilhelminapier without further hindrance via a detour. To create this detour, we have widened the Wilhelminakade between Statendam and Edam. Once construction is complete, halfway through 2017, we will restore the Wilhelminakade to its original state. The entrance to the pier will remain unchanged. Cyclists and pedestrians will be detoured across the Antoine Platekade.
