Pontsteiger 139

Breathtaking views, iconic architecture, and long-term peace of mind with perpetual ground lease already bought off!

A top-tier design apartment of approx. 184 m² where style, space, and panoramic views come together in spectacular fashion. Situated on the 22nd floor of the iconic Pontsteiger building, this exceptional residence offers sweeping vistas of the IJ river, the city skyline, the N.D.S.M. wharf, and—on clear days—even stretches as far as the Johan Cruijff Arena, the Markermeer lake, the Zuidas business district, and Schiphol Airport. The perpetual leasehold (erfpacht) has already been notarially established and fully bought off, meaning no future payments will be due from February 1st, 2065. The current leasehold period runs until January 31st, 2065, during which an annual ground rent is payable—tax-deductible if the property is owner-occupied.

This luxurious apartment features 2.5 bedrooms, 2 high-end bathrooms, and a grand living area with floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize the extraordinary views. The finishes are top-of-the-line: traditional herringbone wood flooring, steel-framed doors, underfloor heating, and an electric sunshade. The generous south-facing terrace offers privacy, tranquility, and ever-changing city and water views.

PONTSTEIGER
Pontsteiger is a landmark of modern architecture and exudes international allure. This tall, striking building offers unmatched views over Amsterdam and the IJ. At 60 meters high, the dramatic "bridge" section spans eight floors, offering sightlines that stretch all the way to the coast. Its impressive scale and shimmering facade make it a true city icon. Built to high sustainability standards, the building is extremely energy-efficient. The apartment is heated via district heating, with top-tier air circulation continuously monitoring air quality. It features an integrated underfloor heating and cooling system, with thermostats for different zones. The property also benefits from 8 private solar panels.

Pontsteiger is situated at the eastern edge of the Houthaven district—one of four historic harbor areas that make up the Western Docklands. On one side lies the Silodam, extending into the IJ; directly across the water sits the N.D.S.M. wharf. Pontsteiger stands on the site where the former ferry terminal connected Houthaven to Amsterdam-Noord.

This former timber harbor has been transformed into Amsterdam’s first climate-neutral neighborhood. A diverse mix of building types and architectural styles is complemented by abundant access to water and green space. The area offers schools, childcare, medical services, hotels, restaurants, and various commercial amenities. And in classic Dutch fashion, the historic city center and charming canals are just a 10-minute bike ride away.
