The Havenblok, Nautisch NDSM | An office project of unprecedented quality Immediately the IJ river.

Staying ahead of the market

At the beginning of 2021, Broersma's network brought the project NDSM project to our attention, consisting of five residential buildings and several commercial spaces located in Het Havenblok. "We knew this was a unique opportunity," says Erik Reijn of Broersma. "The shell building, Immediately the IJ in an up-and-coming area of Amsterdam, offered the chance to tailor it entirely to the wishes of the client and future tenants. It was an opportunity we couldn't pass up. We were able to purchase it even before it officially came on the market." For client Kees Koning, owner of Cajko Vastgoed, it was almost a given to work with Broersma again. "I have complete confidence in Erik Reijn and Broersma when it comes to my real estate investments. Doing business through Broersma doesn't feel risky, but rather like a safe choice. Everything is taken care of, and my high expectations are exceeded every time."

From purchase to turnkey rental

After the purchase, the intensive process of furnishing and finishing began, in close collaboration with renowned parties such as architectural firm TANK and construction consultant Germain Raalte. The result is two turnkey office spaces that meet the highest standards of modern office use, with a ceiling height of 4.5 meters, large windows, plenty of daylight, and a completely gas-free, sustainable installation. "The design of these spaces emphasizes the ruggedness of the NDSM environment combined with a refined finish that adds both style and a human touch to the high, industrial spaces," says Sanne Schenk, founding partner of TANK Interior Design Agency.

After completion, a tightly organized marketing campaign followed. Broersma used high-quality renders and visualizations to market the office spaces even before completion. This approach paid off: both office spaces were leased on a long-term basis before completion.

NDSM, a neighborhood undergoing transformation

Het Havenblok is more than just an office complex. It is a symbol of the transformation of the NDSM shipyard. The former industrial port is developing into a vibrant mix of creative industries, hospitality, living, and working. Located on the IJ river, Het Havenblok offers a unique perspective: views of the marina, a dynamic environment, and a direct connection to the center of Amsterdam. "It's fantastic to see how everything comes together," says Erik Reijn. "From TANK's bold, modern design to the careful finishing and successful leasing. This project how we really add value at every stage, together with all the partners involved."

Commitment and customization

This project Broersma's distinctive Immediately within the real estate sector: the commitment of the entire team, from the initial market analysis to the final details of the lease. Kees Koning says: "For 12 years, Broersma has been advising me and taking care of every step in the purchase, lease, and sale of commercial real estate in Amsterdam. Their personal commitment and professionalism make all the difference."

A lasting impact

The completion of the two office buildings on Werfkade in Het Havenblok symbolizes what is possible when vision and craftsmanship come together. The high-quality finish, the leasing without vacancy, and the strategic approach make this project textbook example of how commercial real estate can be developed and managed in Amsterdam. As Sanne Schenk of TANK puts it: "With a team that shares the same ambition and style, we were able to realize these sturdy and beautifully finished office spaces with pleasure and vigor."
