The Hive connects people, nature and history. The project consists of a new-build section and a (renovated) historical monument that once housed the Calvijn College. Innovation meets heritage, with the climate forest as the connecting link. This is no ordinary inner courtyard, but a true tiny forest. This unique green oasis grows right along with you and your neighbors.
Watch the video about The Hive below:
In that tiny forest you breathe fresh air among birches, maples and black alders. You can completely unwind there on a bench, swing or chill spot, while the sun's rays play through the trees. You experience nature there via wooden boardwalk paths surrounded by ferns and lilies-of-the-valley. And you enjoy coolness and numerous birds that are drawn to this unique place. One thing is clear: the urban jungle of The Hive is truly something very different from the average courtyard garden. It is a unique experiential world in which you experience nature with all your senses. And that in the middle of the city, literally right next to the door of your newly built apartment.
That The Hive is getting such a special climate forest has everything to do with the project's sustainable ambitions. The building is not only of today, but also of the future. Rainwater is retained, there will be greenery on the facades, and—in addition to the climate forest—there is also a beautiful rooftop garden. Moreover, the apartments have energy label A++++. This means it is energy-positive! Not only does this offer you a lot of comfort and a lower energy bill (with normal consumption), but it is also good for nature and the climate. Additional benefit: you can borrow more for the purchase of the apartment.
The Hive consists, as mentioned, of a new-build complex and a municipal monument, which formerly housed the Calvijn College. The owner-occupied apartments will be located in the new building. A health center will be established on the ground floor thereof. A parking garage and a bicycle shed will be located beneath the building. The old building will soon provide space for creative individuals, a day-care center (work workshop) for people with disabilities, and a neighborhood room. That neighborhood room is the prime location to meet other people.
As for accessibility? Lelylaan Station, where bus, train, tram, and metro converge, is literally just around the corner. So from here you can travel quickly and easily in all sorts of ways to other parts of Amsterdam, or beyond.
Does that all sound like music to your ears? Then there is good news, because there are still apartments available in The Hive. These are two-room apartments of around fifty square meters, with purchase prices starting from 385,000 euros (free on board), based on an annual ground lease canon. There are also larger apartments (up to approximately 98 square meters, with three or four rooms) available, although they are all currently under option. However, option holders can back out, and then those homes will become available again.
