Highnote is a nineteen-storey residential building with 157 rental apartments, varying in size and price. Construction is expected to start in Q2 2021 and completion is expected in 2023. Highnote is designed by Studioninedots and will be constructed by Heddes Bouw & Ontwikkeling.
Of all apartments, 115 apartments will be rented out in the mid-market rental segment and 42 apartments will be rented out in the unregulated segment. In total, 66 apartments will be realised as 'Friends-apartments, varying in size from 65-100 sqm. All apartments have a balcony.
Friends concept
Both Rockfield and AM are early adapters of the Friends concept, which is aimed at a target group for whom living in a prime location is made affordable and comfortable. A Friends house is for two people and is shared with a friend, family member, colleague or other roommate. Both have their own sleeping and shower room and the other areas are shared. In addition, there will be a plinth with formal and informal work and study places, a catering facility and various semi-public outdoor spaces.
Marijn Snijders, Managing Director at Capital Value: "A large part of Highnote consists of homes for starters. It is good to see that investors are willing to invest in homes for this young target group. The homes are a very welcome addition to the housing stock in Almere and contribute to reducing the housing shortage in the city."
