Almere 23 February 2023 – Residential building HIGHNote in Almere centre; an investment from one of Rockfield Real Estate’s funds reaches highest point with the completion of the 19th floor at a height of 63 metres. This moment was festively celebrated in the presence of all parties involved and alderman Julius Lindenbergh of the Municipality of Almere. The alderman had the honour of giving the instructions for hoisting the highest floor section of the building; the roof floor of the lift structure.
HIGHNote
HIGHNote is already an iconic building in the centre of Almere, right next to City Hall overlooking City Hall Square. The building comprises 157 affordable apartments, including 66 Friends apartments and a commercial plinth of approximately 900 m2. The building will be managed with Rockfield’s urban living concept; The Cohesion. Expected completion is October this year and leasing will start in mid-April.
Liveliness in the centre of Almere
HIGHNote responds to both the high demand for centre urban living and Almere’s ambitions. Almere Centrum wants to be Almere’s attractive, hospitable and lively city centre. A place where you feel at home as a tenant, entrepreneur or visitor. This requires a diverse offer in all areas. Almere is and always will be the youngest city in the Netherlands. It is precisely this youthfulness of Almere that is well reflected in Almere Centre.
Friends concept
Of the 157 apartments, 66 will be designed as Friends apartments with living areas ranging from around 65 m2 to 100 m2. All apartments will also have a balcony. Rockfield has already developed and managed successful residential buildings with Friends apartments in cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven since 2019, making it a forerunner in the Friends Concept.
Efficient construction process
Prefab sandwich elements were used for HIGHNote, which were fitted with window frames and glazing before arriving on site. This ensured that Highnote was built extremely efficiently and without scaffolding.
