The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area welcomes Arcadis, an international firm providing innovative engineering services, to the Zuidas business district.
Engineering firm Arcadis have announced in a press release that the firm has decided to move its headquarters to the Zuidas in Amsterdam. The new office offers workspaces for about 40 employees. Arcadis said that it plans to move into the new office in September 2010.
Arcadis is an international company that delivers consulting, design, engineering, urban planning, architectural and project management services for infrastructure, environment and buildings.
The company considered moving to the Amsterdam Area because of the state of the art business locations the region has to offer.
Chairman of the executive board Harry Noy comments on the decision: "The relocation of our international headquarters reflects the transformation of Arcadis as a global professional service provider. The new headquarters will function as a international meeting point".
The Zuidas, a business district located in the southern part of Amsterdam, offers companies an outstanding location for their offices. Many companies have already chosen to set up shop in this area like ABN Amro, Accenture and Boston Consultancy Group. Recently, Simmons and Simmons and Binck Bank decided to move to this exciting location.
The reasons are clear. The Zuidas is very accessible by car or public transport and is less than 15 minutes away from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It also offers many services to international companies, for example, the expatcenter and soon the Holland Financial Centre will be located in the World Trade Center an the heart of the Zuidas.
