The object was to create more space for walking and cycling and so most obstacles (including parked bicycles) needed to go. Some trees had to be removed to dig the underground parking garage, so new trees were planted. On this square the monumental street lanterns returned as well as the original benches, fountains (which were actually mangers where horses could drink) and other street furniture. Now that the north-south metro line was finally finished the streetscape from Central Station to the Dam and further south could be beautified.

(Picture Amsterdam Archive) The Square is now almost completely free of vehicles and can be used by people instead. The Amsterdam Beursplein in November 1980 when it was still a parking lot for cars. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange was the world’s first official (formal) stock exchange when it began trading the VOC’s freely transferable securities, including bonds and shares of stock in 1606. Already in 1912 the Stock Exchange moved to a new, dedicated building at number 5. That building was also used by other trade markets. (History repeated itself in a different form in 1982 the cars were sent off the square when the parking garage of the Bijenkorf department store was opened in a corner of the square.) Beursplein was named after the stock exchange that was first located in the building designed by architect Berlage who also designed the square. In July 2018 the underground bicycle parking garage was opened. The railings are glass and stainless steel. All the material is natural stone, the steps, the grooves and the walls.
The impressive entrance stairs to the underground bicycle parking. Now the square is clear of most vehicles and its space can be used by people. The 1903 square had been used as car parking space until 1982, after which it had been a sea of parked bicycles. There are an estimated 900,000 bicycles in Amsterdam with some 625,000 trips made daily, according to the city's 2021 Bicycle Monitor plan-and finding proper parking has long been a headache.The Amsterdam Beursplein (“Stock Exchange Square”) has been restored in a beautiful way. "Now you will be assured that you can immediately park your bicycle when you come to Amsterdam station," the city's transport alderwoman Melanie van der Horst said. "The cyclist steps into an imaginary oyster with a rough exterior of basalt and natural stone and a smooth, light interior," the firm said in a statement. This storage "makes optimal use of the space you have in a small country," she said.Ĭonveyor belts take cyclists nine meters (30 feet) below ground level, according to wUrck, the architectural firm that designed the ultramodern parking spaces that aim to evoke their oceanic surroundings. "We have a lot of knowledge and expertise when it comes to water," Dutch deputy infrastructure minister Vivianne Heijnen told AFP at the opening ceremony. "Together the shelters will be the largest in the city," the Amsterdam municipality said, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles and the IJ-side site around 4,000.Ĭonstruction started in 2019 and involved draining part of the Open Haven Front next to Amsterdam Central Station.Ī time-lapse video posted by the Amsterdam municipality showed how the water was pumped out, the structure built and the area eventually reflooded.
