Building the future of Floraweg together

A signature takes only a few seconds. The collaboration that comes before it requires time, trust and perseverance. On 7 July 2025, these came together at the signing of the contracts for 200 new homes at Floraweg 198–200 in Amsterdam-Noord.
A special moment for everyone involved and an important step in the development of Klaprozenbuurt: a former business district gradually becoming a lively neighbourhood with homes, green spaces and places to meet.
A new place to call home
The plan comprises 115 social housing homes for housing association Ymere and a residential tower with 85 homes: 68 mid-market rental homes and 17 homes in the unregulated rental sector. There will also be space for community facilities and commercial or other uses.
Commissioned by MZS Vastgoed, FARO Architecten designed the 85-home tower and also developed the urban design for the entire block. ANA architecten designed housing association Ymere’s 115 social housing homes. Different housing types and architectural ideas thus come together in a single neighbourhood.
Collaboration makes the difference
Behind this milestone is a joint effort by the Municipality of Amsterdam, housing association Ymere, Magdy Nashed representing MZS, BBA, Van Wijnen and the architects.
The group photograph captures that shared moment. The design is literally at the centre, surrounded by the people helping to take the next step. A tangible reminder of what collaboration can achieve.
At MZS, we look forward with enthusiasm to the further development of this location. Real estate gains its true meaning when plans become places where people can enjoy living, working and meeting one another.
