noordzuidas

Noordzuidas is a term used to describe the northern portion of the Zuidas, the major mixed-use business district located between Amsterdam’s city center and the southern outskirts. The area lies within the municipality of Amsterdam, in the Amsterdam-Zuid region, and is part of a broader plan to combine offices, housing, and public amenities in a compact, accessible urban environment.

Planning and development in Noordzuidas focus on creating a balanced district that supports work, living, and leisure. The area emphasizes high-density, sustainable development with an emphasis on walkability, green spaces, and integrated services. Noordzuidas is connected to the rest of the city through major transit routes and is aligned with the broader Zuidas master plan to enhance economic activity while improving the urban living experience.

Economy and institutions within Noordzuidas include office campuses for finance, law, and technology, along with hotels, retail facilities, and educational or research-related facilities that accompany the business environment. The district benefits from proximity to key transport nodes and the ongoing improvement of infrastructure that links Amsterdam to regional and national networks.

Transport and accessibility are defining features of Noordzuidas. The area is served by rail, metro, bus services, and major road connections. The North-South Line (Noord/Zuidlijn) provides direct access to central Amsterdam and other parts of the city, while nearby stations connect residents and workers to broader networks.
