LOCATION – SCHINKEL DISTRICT, AMSTERDAM
Laboratoriumstraat 3 is situated in the Schinkel District, one of Amsterdam's most dynamic and rapidly transforming areas. The location combines all the characteristics of an established business district with the energy and appeal of an emerging creative hub – a combination that is becoming increasingly rare within Amsterdam's ring road.

The area borders directly onto the A10 Ring Road West and is just ten minutes from Schiphol Airport. Its central position between Amsterdam-Zuid, Amsterdam-West and Nieuw-West makes the Schinkel District easily accessible from virtually all directions, by both car and public transport. The city centre is reachable by bicycle within twenty minutes.

The Municipality of Amsterdam has designated the Schinkel District as a priority transformation area within its urban masterplan 2020–2045. The plan provides for the gradual redevelopment of the area into a mixed-use, sustainable urban neighbourhood with international appeal – accommodating creative industry, offices, retail, hospitality and, in due course, residential uses. This municipal commitment translates directly into rising land values, intensification of use and growing demand for high-quality commercial space in this segment. The transformation is not a future prospect: it is already well underway. Real estate investor Jamestown manages approximately 27,000 m² in the district, including the iconic A-Factorij – a former bicycle factory dating from 1955, fully redeveloped into a creative office complex. New Balance established its EMEA headquarters here, occupying 3,865 m² with more than 150 employees. Two warehouses in the Helicopterstraat complex are currently being redeveloped for office, retail and daytime hospitality use.

The Schinkel District is home to a growing community of prominent companies and brands. The hospitality and leisure concepts in the district create the atmosphere and vibrancy that creative tenants seek: Bennies as an all-day restaurant with a seasonal menu, Spirited Union as an artisan rum distillery offering tastings and workshops, and Birdies – a concept combining indoor golf simulators with open-fire dining. Specialty coffee bar Steans Beans, a green community courtyard and a waterside terrace complete the offering. The result is a district where working, meeting and leisure seamlessly converge – an increasingly important criterion for tenants in the creative and professional services sectors.

EXCELLENT ACCESSIBILITY
- By car: direct access via highway A10 exit S107 at ± 350 metres; junction De Nieuwe Meer (A4/A10) approximately 1 km away
- Train/Metro: NS Station Amsterdam Lelylaan (Sprinter & Intercity) and metro station Lelylaan (lines 50 & 51) at ± 1,600 metres
- Tram: lines 1 and 17 via Jan Tooropstraat/Derkinderenstraat at ± 600 metres
- Bus: GVB lines 15, 62 and 758 with stops in the immediate vicinity
- Schiphol Airport: approximately 10 minutes by car or train

Future public transport enhancement
The proposed extension of the North/South Line (metro 52) includes a new metro station at Johan Huizingalaan, within walking distance of Laboratoriumstraat 3. Completion of this station would fundamentally strengthen public transport accessibility in the Schinkel District, further enhancing its appeal to both tenants and investors.

WHY THIS PROPERTY?
This is no ordinary investment property – it is a ready-to-acquire asset in a neighbourhood that Amsterdam itself has designated as a priority transformation area (masterplan 2020–2045). While you collect rent, the surrounding area works in your favour. The current rent of € 107/m² sits well below the appraised market rent of approximately € 143/m². Upon lease expiry or voluntary rent review, the Gross Initial Yield rises to approximately 8.3% on the current acquisition price. In addition, the property offers expansion potential on the second floor, which could generate additional rental value upon development.
