OurDomain Amsterdam Southeast is located in the heart of an educational hub, surrounded by student housing in Amsterdam. Its strategic positioning near an academic hospital and a train station makes it an ideal location for residents. The campus consists of approximately 1,500 apartments and amenities, marking its entrance into an area previously occupied by offices. OurDomain acts as a catalyst for transforming the single-purpose office zone into a vibrant and multifunctional city district. The main goal of the OurDomain campus is to create new connections and social spaces that inspire residents and bring fresh energy to the area, instigating a significant shift in the urban landscape.
