Located on the water along the quay of the northern banks of the IJ in Amsterdam is one of the few remnants of the this city’s rich port history: het Kraanspoor. An office building, 270 metres long and approximately 13 metres wide, now stands where ships used to be loaded and unloaded. With a flourish, het Kraanspoor put a forgotten city district in the international limelight, transforming it into one of the most coveted locations in Amsterdam, where a variety of new activities are now unfolding.
