Frequently asked questions

Sales of the 55 apartments at The Vold will begin on Thursday 8 October at 12:00. That same evening, you are warmly welcome to attend the sales event at George Marina in the Amstelkwartier between 18:00 and 20:00. Meet Team The Vold, ask any questions you may have and find out everything about the apartments and the purchasing process. No registration is required – you’re very welcome to come along.

Once all the conditions precedent have been met, construction can begin. Construction of The Vold is expected to start in the second quarter of 2027.

According to the current schedule, the first homes are due to be completed by the end of 2028, with some extending into early 2029. This schedule is indicative and may be subject to change during the construction process.

The residences range from approximately 48 m² to 155 m², including smart studios, compact apartments, and exclusive residences with generous terraces.

Each home has been designed with a strong focus on natural light, privacy, tranquillity, and a connection to the outdoors. Large windows, smart layouts, and views of the park and surrounding area create a comfortable and enjoyable living environment.

The variety of home types attracts a diverse community, from young professionals and expats to families and active older residents, creating a vibrant and connected neighbourhood.

Because the residences are sold v.o.n., you do not pay transfer tax, land registry fees, or notary fees for the transfer deed.

In addition to the purchase price, you should budget for:

Monthly homeowners' association (HOA) contributions
Monthly energy costs
Notary fees for your mortgage deed
Optional upgrades and interior finishes
Ground lease payments
We recommend seeking advice from an independent financial adviser.

The name The Vold refers to the building's iconic V-shape. It is a contemporary interpretation of the Dutch word for "fold" (vouw), expressed through the distinctive capital V that serves as the building's visual signature.

The name perfectly reflects the architecture and character of the building: bold, elegant, and distinctive.

The Vold offers a highly central location, with virtually all daily amenities within walking and cycling distance — everything is accessible within approximately 1,000 metres.

As a result, many residents may find they rarely need a car.

Beneath The Vold is a shared parking garage with secure parking facilities for both bicycles and cars. The current plans include approximately:

36 private parking spaces for cars
259 bicycle parking spaces
13 cargo bike spaces
13 scooter parking spaces
These numbers are indicative and may be subject to change.

Additional parking facilities for bicycles, cargo bikes, and scooters will also be available for visitors at street level.

Residents can safely store their bicycles in the shared bicycle parking facility within the underground parking garage.

The facility is expected to provide approximately 259 bicycle parking spaces, including dedicated spaces for cargo bikes.

Visitor bicycle, scooter, and cargo bike parking will also be available around the building.

When purchasing an apartment, you automatically become a member of the homeowners' association (VvE).

The VvE is responsible for the management and maintenance of all shared parts of the building, including elements such as lifts, façades, and the roof.

V.O.N. (Vrij Op Naam) translates to freehold purchase price.

This means the purchaser does not pay additional costs for transferring ownership of the property. Costs such as transfer tax, land registry fees, and notary fees for the deed of transfer are paid by the seller.

After signing the purchase and construction agreement, you have two months to secure your financing.

This period forms part of the financing contingency conditions.

The sales agents will be happy to explain this process in more detail.

Land interest is the interest charged from the date of purchase (or a later date as specified in the purchase and construction agreement) until the transfer deed is executed before the notary.

The applicable percentage is specified in the agreement. This interest is generally tax-deductible.

If you complete the transfer within the period specified in the contract, you may avoid paying land interest.

Construction interest relates to the construction costs of your residence and is payable to the contractor.

If you purchase later in the sales process, construction interest may be charged on construction instalments that have already become due prior to signing the purchase and construction agreement.

The applicable percentage is specified in the agreement. Construction interest is generally not tax-deductible.

The residences are designed to be highly energy-efficient and sustainable.

The final energy rating is currently being calculated and will be announced soon.

The standard floor-to-ceiling height is 2.60 metres.

Yes. The purchase price includes a kitchen with built-in appliances.

At THUIS – the showroom, you can customise the kitchen layout and finishes to suit your preferences. The kitchen will be installed after completion of the residence.

Yes. All residences at The Vold are delivered with a complete, contemporary bathroom and sanitary fittings.

The standard bathroom includes a washbasin, walk-in shower, tiled walls and floors, and an electric radiator.

At THUIS, Dura Vermeer's showroom, you'll have the opportunity to further personalise the bathroom according to your own style and preferences.

Sustainability is at the heart of The Vold. Features include beautifully landscaped private green terraces, a green atrium, nesting boxes for birds and bats, and smart rainwater retention systems.

The sustainable design is also reflected in the architecture. Integrated solar panels within the façade bands, generous overhangs, and a predominantly timber structure built in CLT (cross-laminated timber) give the building a contemporary and sustainable character.

Only the floor structures, service shafts, and lift cores are constructed in concrete.

Thanks to this carefully considered combination of design and technology, The Vold is targeting an A++++ energy label and exceptionally low energy costs.

The residences will be connected to a sustainable collective energy system based on aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES).

This energy-efficient system provides both heating and cooling. Heat and cooling are generated centrally and distributed throughout the building via a collective network.

The system will be provided through a rental agreement for future residents. An indication of the monthly costs will be shared at a later stage.

The property is covered by the Woningborg Guarantee and Warranty Program. As far as is currently known, there are no additional exclusions for this project. The exact coverage, terms and conditions, and any exclusions can be found in the applicable program.

CLT consists of multiple layers of wood glued together crosswise. This construction makes the wood panels strong, stable, and rigid in various directions.

The CLT panels and the laminated wood columns (BSH) are made of spruce. The columns are finished to a visible-grade standard: the wood remains visible and receives a single coat of UV-inhibiting treatment.

CLT (cross-laminated timber) is a natural building material that stores CO₂ for the long term. Wood is reusable and recyclable, and the production of CLT typically generates fewer CO₂ emissions than that of concrete or brick. In addition, wood can contribute to a pleasant indoor climate. It has natural moisture-regulating and insulating properties. The ultimate level of living comfort and energy consumption also depend on the insulation, ventilation, and other systems installed. Exposed wood also gives the home a warm, natural look. The Vold combines wood construction with concrete. The basement, ground floor, and first floor—including the second-floor slab—are constructed of concrete. Above that, the load-bearing structure is made of wood.

There may be a faint woody scent, but the CLT panels are concealed behind drywall and suspended ceilings. The exposed wooden columns, however, may contribute to a woody scent in the home.

The wood used for The Vold comes from Germany.

The Vold is designed and built in accordance with current fire safety requirements. When exposed to fire, a charred layer forms on the exterior of the CLT, which slows the heating of the underlying wood and creates a protective shield around the core, allowing it to retain its load-bearing capacity. It therefore burns slowly and safely, ensuring that the stability of the structure is not compromised. In addition, the CLT panels are protected by drywall-clad shear walls and suspended ceilings. This cladding contributes to the fire resistance.

Wood construction does not automatically mean that more smoke detectors are needed than in concrete construction. The number and placement of smoke detectors are determined based on applicable regulations and the layout of the home.

At The Vold, various measures are combined to limit sound transmission between the homes. For example, partition walls and suspended ceilings are used. In addition, a layer of limestone aggregate is applied on top of the CLT floors, which adds extra mass and thus contributes to sound insulation.
