Building Zuidoost

Since the last update in 2024, we have now moved out of the building and the redevelopment has begun!

What is being built?

• A residential tower with 128 apartments, with an underground car park. The apartment block will be owned by de Allantie, our investment partner

• The Imagine Centre - this will be owned by C3 Imagine and will facilitate activities that enable us to be a strong and a bright presence in this neighbourhood. There will be a cafe, an indoor kids play area, rooms for hire including a dance and exercise studio and a small auditorium and a large auditorium. All of this will facilitate the life of the church as well as serving our community.

We are working with SBB, the building contractor to achieve this. Currently the foundation and underground car park is being developed, drive past and take a look some time! 

With SBB we are working to finalise some of the construction materials and costs following the rise in costs due a high inflation economy. We are believing for a further decrease in the project cost.

The Design 

We're proud of the outcome of the new final design. The building is divided into 3 parts:

• S(mall) block - low-rise apartments

• M(edium)+ block – apartments

• M(edium) block – Imagine Centre (community center), which extends underneath the apartment complex

The Imagine Centre has been designed as a special feature, with a white finish and designer window features which create a standout look.

Timeline

The foundation work and car park is being built now. Into 2026 the construction above ground will begin. 

During 2027 the construction will be completed and then we will begin the interior fittings. All of this is scheduled to finish by the end of 2027.

Building Almere

It is our goal to purchase a facility for our Almere location in the next few years. It is always good stewardship to own rather than rent. However, it also opens the possibilities to be even more active in integrating into and impacting the local community.

We have already begun making enquiries with Gemeente Almere, to let them know our goals. The architect that we are working with to redevelop Paasheuvelweg 24, our Amsterdam Zuidoost location's building, has also contacts in Almere. The search for the right building has begun! 

We currently have €280.000,- saved and our goal is to raise this to around €370.000,- in the next 2 years. This we are believing will enable a purchase. A building helps service our ability to be Hope on every street.
