From contaminated land to strategic redevelopment. In 2021, Larendael took ownership of the ADM site, one of the largest contiguous lots in Amsterdam. With a clear vision for redevelopment and future-proof use, a lot of work was done in four years.

We now know what is possible on brownfields and port areas abandoned by old industries. The location is optimal. It is our own land and the city is developing more and more towards the port area. While we are looking at the possibilities, we are starting to clean up.
During the development of the ADM site, Larendael made the site ready for construction and future-proof. Contaminated soil was remediated. With the supply of 2.5 million tons of soil, 20 hectares of new land was created, after which 250,000 tons of mixed granulate was applied to reinforce the subsoil. For the new quay structures, 125 tubular piles, 600 sheet piles and 2,000 m³ of concrete were applied. Together, these interventions form the solid foundation for the redevelopment of this strategically located port area.
This area is easily accessible by boat via the North Sea Canal, with highways, Amsterdam and Schiphol within a few minutes driving distance.
When building the new quay, Larendael deliberately chose to reuse materials. The old sheet piles were removed from the existing quay structure and reused in the design.
A future-proof approach means that we always look for opportunities to easily make existing configurations larger. We invest in structural solutions that will last for years.
At the start of a project, we focus on the bigger picture. By taking all variables into account, we are able to develop a unique plan and enthuse stakeholders.
In the 19th and 20th centuries the ADM, the Amsterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij was located here and ships were repaired, built and rebuilt.
