the New Kit

Until recently, the Opstandinskerk, mainly known as 'De Kolenkit', occupied a very prominent position in the neighbourhood, so prominent in fact that this part of Amsterdam Nieuw-West was called the Kolenkitbuurt. After the neighbourhood had a bad period in terms of name in recent years, it is currently part of a large-scale renewal project. While the Kolenkit is located on the A10 along the motorway, a new landmark has risen on a corner on the other side of the neighbourhood.

The New Kit, a 58-metre-high, 17-storey, leaning residential tower. The new landmark for the neighbourhood, according to the Parool. Housing corporation Eigen Haard felt that an icon was needed to connect Bos en Lommer more strongly with the city within the ring road and therefore decided to hold a competition among architects. HM Architects eventually came up with a white residential tower of about 60 metres high, which leans diagonally towards the railway embankment, so that it forms a beacon for the Vlugtlaan metro station, as it were.

The hotel entrance is located on the side of the building and rooms are located on the first and second floors.
