During this session, we will take you through the story of Horizons Amsterdam – a forward-thinking residential concept in the Sluisbuurt that sets a new benchmark for sustainable and future-proof living.
Horizons shows that living and nature do not have to burden each other, but can instead strengthen one another.
The building combines, among other things, owner-occupied and rental apartments with shared facilities, green roofs, inner courtyards and collective (green) spaces. The result is a place where sustainability is not only technical, but also social: focused on bringing people together, health and a sense of belonging between residents.
Located in the Sluisbuurt, a new urban district on the IJ, Horizons brings together the best of two worlds: the energy of the city and the tranquillity of a green, car-light living environment. Here, a residential setting is created that looks beyond today and makes room for the generations that will follow.
In this presentation, we share how Horizons came about, which innovations have been applied and what this means for the future of area development. An inspiring story about building with nature as the guiding principle – and about how we can keep raising the bar for sustainable living.
Speakers: Pim Kroon (Developer Ballast Nedam Development)
Raymond van Sabben (Partner Architect Paul de Ruiter)

On Tuesday 9 June at 10:00 AM, PROVADA will be officially opened by Lieutenant General Dick van Ingen, Deputy Director-General of Policy at the Ministry of Defence. Through his contribution, PROVADA underlines the current and growing intersections between Defence and the real estate sector.

During PROVADA, BouwLab R&Do and The Green Village will be providing the content programming for the Innovation Café. In collaboration with partners BPD, COD and VORM, and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, and the DMI Ecosystem, one central question takes the lead: how do we move innovation faster from idea to application?

The fiscal threshold for foreign pension funds and insurers to invest in the Dutch housing market must be significantly lowered. That is the view of Mark Siezen, CEO of asset manager Bouwinvest. 'Foreign capital is absolutely essential to meet the enormous housing construction challenge. That requires a stable housing policy and fiscal climate. I am hopeful: the new minister recognises this and will act on it.'

Following the earlier announcement of the launch of the International Investment Day, PROVADA now presents the full programme for Thursday, 11 June 2026. As the largest real estate exhibition in the Netherlands, PROVADA brings together leading market parties for a day of insights, discussion and networking. The newly introduced international investment programme—developed in collaboration with INREV, Holland Metropole and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning—offers international investors direct access to key developments, policy perspectives and investment opportunities in the Dutch market.
