The complex:
Den Grooten Heer is a distinctive residential complex situated between the Singel and Herengracht canals. The historic building, formerly occupied by Slavenburg Bank, was completely redeveloped in the 1990s into a high-quality residential complex, combining its historic character with modern-day comfort.
One of the defining qualities of Den Grooten Heer is its exceptional range of amenities. Residents have access to a heated indoor swimming pool and sauna, while the complex also benefits from a lift and resident caretaker. The caretaker attends to various day-to-day matters within the complex and serves as a point of contact for residents.
The apartment is situated on FREEHOLD LAND (FULL OWNERSHIP), meaning that no ground lease applies. The complex also has an active Owners’ Association (VvE).
Location & accessibility:
The location on the Singel is undoubtedly one of the apartment’s great attractions. Here you live in the heart of Amsterdam’s historic canal district, between Dam Square and the Westerkerk, and just a few minutes’ walk from the Jordaan and the Nine Streets.
The immediate surroundings offer an extensive selection of restaurants, cafés, speciality shops, boutiques and everyday amenities. A short walk along the nearby canals takes you towards the Westerkerk and Noordermarkt, while in the other direction Dam Square, the Royal Palace and Amsterdam’s historic city centre are all within easy reach.
Accessibility is excellent. Amsterdam Central Station is nearby and there are several tram and bus connections in the immediate vicinity. Virtually every part of the city can be reached quickly by bicycle, while the A10 ring road is also easily accessible.
Here, two worlds come together beautifully: the energy and charm of Amsterdam’s city centre as soon as you step outside, and the comfort and amenities of Den Grooten Heer when you return home.
