Union Investment has gained six new office tenants in the mixed-use district “The Pulse” in Amsterdam.
A contract for almost 2,000 m² has been signed with the international commercial broker Cushman & Wakefield. The energy company S4 Energy has rented the marketing suite with an area of around 550 m². The Dutch energy group One Dyas is taking over around 2,300 m² on two floors. The fast-growing Internet platform Manychat has rented the 14th floor (1,132 m²) and the world’s largest broadband provider Liberty Global is moving into almost 2,300 m² on two floors. The trading company Pinley has also rented around 3,500 m² on the fifth floor.
Union Investment acquired the quarter on Amsterdam’s southern axis in 2021 as a project development and invested around 400 million euros. After completion in November last year, it was transferred to the portfolio of the open-ended real estate fund UniImmo: Deutschland.
High-quality space in good locations remains attractive
All 164 apartments in the mid segment of “The Pulse” are also rented. The apartments in the so-called free segment, including the penthouse apartments, are also largely occupied. In total, around 96 percent of all apartments and 85 percent of office space have already been rented.
There is also good news in the area of culture and gastronomy: the boutique cinema Cinebeat has successfully completed its soft opening and the first visitors have already been able to enjoy selected films. The restaurant-bar-coffee “Lucy”, run by the owner of the famous De Ysbreeker in Amsterdam, opened on November 7, 2025.
“Just one year after completion of the quarter, 86 percent of all space has already been rented, and usually on much better terms than originally planned. This is a great success for our asset management and shows that high-quality space in good locations remains attractive, especially in the office sector. We are already in talks with other potential tenants,” says Henrike Waldburg, Head of Asset Management and Member of the Management Board of Union Investment Real Estate GmbH.
“The Pulse” has around 36,000 m² of lettable office space and 200 apartments with a total lettable area of around 9,600 m². The ensemble is completed by around 1,600 m² of retail and restaurant use as well as a boutique cinema with around 2,700 m². Public areas, including a park and an urban forest on the eighth floor, complemented by several rooftop terraces, create natural gathering places for residents and office workers.
