“Part of the City”

Downtown Offices is inspired by the urban philosophy of Jane Jacobs (1916–2006), who believed that the strength of a neighborhood lies in the right mix of buildings, users, and facilities. With this in mind, Downtown Offices aims to contribute to a dynamic city center where working, meeting, and leisure activities regularly intersect. The organization strives for sustainable building management. Local suppliers, excellent accessibility by public transport or bicycle, FSC-certified paper, and 100% green energy supplied by Pure Energie all contribute to this goal.

The Warmoesstraat

Warmoesstraat is one of the oldest streets in Amsterdam. The street runs parallel to the Damrak and connects the corner of Prins Hendrikkade and Zeedijk with Dam Square.

The history of Warmoesstraat dates back to the 13th century. Originally, it formed the eastern quay of the river Amstel, before the city expanded and the Damrak was created. During the 16th and 17th centuries, it was the city’s main shopping street, where wealthy merchants lived in stately houses and traded spices and luxury goods. Many of the current façades still conceal medieval wooden frameworks, some of the oldest structures in the city.

Today, Warmoesstraat has a diverse and eclectic character. The street is lively with specialty coffee bars, restaurants, and cafés, alongside unique specialty shops, the art platform W139, and the location of the city’s oldest — and most notorious — police station. In short, it is a fascinating blend of history, art, and modern business activity in the oldest part of Amsterdam.

Warmoesstraat 149–151

Two merchant houses once stood on the site of Warmoesstraat 149 and 151. At the end of the 19th century, the gentlemen Ellerman & Harms of the printing company of the same name had these buildings demolished in order to construct their impressive headquarters in the architectural style of the time. The entrance with its large wooden door, terrazzo staircases, and vaulted ceilings still reflects this period. The building consists of a basement and three upper floors. Internally, numbers 149–151 are connected to Warmoesstraat 153.

Warmoesstraat 155

Over the centuries, number 155 has taken on many different functions. Built around 1600, the property has served as a merchant’s house, an inn, a tobacco company, and later a boarding house. During that period, all rooms were equipped with their own shower and toilet. Originally, a kolfbaan (an old Dutch indoor game court) was located behind the building, although the property has been modified several times to meet the needs of different eras. Around 1920, a new shopfront and balcony were added — features that have since acquired monument status themselves.

Today, the building has been given a new purpose as a wellness hub, housing a diverse mix of wellness providers. Under the name Wellness Warmoes, the property offers various wellness spaces and office rooms under one roof. This provides therapists, beauticians, massage practitioners, and other professionals with a unique opportunity to work from a prime location in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam. In this way, the historic building continues its long tradition of hospitality.

Op de exacte locatie van Warmoesstraat 149 en 151 stonden ooit twee koopmanshuizen. Heer Ellerman en heer Harms van een gelijknamige drukkerij sloopten de huizen eind 19e eeuw om ze te vervangen door een imposant hoofdkantoor in moderne stijl. De entree met een grote houten deur, granieten trap en gewelfd plafond zijn nog steeds zichtbaar. Het gebouw heeft een kelder en drie verdiepingen. Het gebouw met de nummers 149-151 is aan de binnenkant verbonden met Warmoesstraat 153.
