Amsterdam-West bunker back on the market after four years, this time at a friendlier price

A former Cold War era bomb shelter in Amsterdam-West is back on the market for 295,000 euros, significantly lower than its previous asking price of 1.1 million euros in 2022. Constructed in the 1940s as part of a sewer pumping station, the structure was later converted into a shelter capable of housing eighty people. The property, located near Rembrandtpark, features three levels including two underground floors, thick walls, and heavy metal doors, though it requires attention regarding moisture issues and potential asbestos. Although the building has utility connections, the current zoning designation for water management and traffic infrastructure prohibits residential use. Prospective buyers are advised that the city permits only limited uses such as storage or greenery, and any alternative development would require formal municipal approval. The real estate firm overseeing the sale has already conducted several viewings and expects more interest before the deadline for bids on November 6.
