A new home on the water
This brand-new apartment sits on the eighth floor of a 2025 building right on the water in Buiksloterham-Zuid, a young district taking shape on Amsterdam's north bank. With an asking price of €2,325,000, it is the most expensive of the 20 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and the price sits 94% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,199,500. That puts it on the high side compared with the local market, though the home is also considerably larger than most. For context, the asking price per square metre is €13,210 based on the agent's floor area, against a neighbourhood average of €10,370 per m². If you are weighing this against other [apartments in Amsterdam], the size and the new-build status are the main factors behind the premium.
Inside the apartment
The agent describes this as a four-room apartment with three bedrooms on a single floor, covering 176 m² according to the listing. The BAG registration records a living area of 104 m², so the two sources differ on the floor area. The home has underfloor heating throughout, a heat recovery system and a heat pump, and it comes with a sunny terrace and a space in the parking basement. The ground lease is municipal and has been bought off until 15 May 2072, so there is no annual ground rent to pay. The homeowners' association fee is €463.96 per month. The energy label is A++, which is an efficient label, so running costs for heating and hot water should be modest.
