Being situated close to a major train, subway and bus station and being in the heart of Sloterdijk makes THE DAM accessible for employees and clients. THE DAM is connected to the A10 freeway, only 15 minutes away from Schiphol Airport and is close to a large car park. Until now the area has offered mainly office spaces, with a few shops located in the Sloterdijk station. However there was the potential for more; for this to be a thriving area.

The Dam is going to offer a sustainable alternative to the present situation. The Dam offers a new concept, putting each individual person, rather than a company, at the centre. The location allows for shops, restaurants, child care, work free zones and business meeting facilities to be situated within the building in addition to the offices. This combination of values and consideration of the personal and professional needs of each tenant proves that the design of The Dam will result in a greater opportunity for employees within The Dam to balance their private and working lives.
