It's finally happening in November: cinema arrives at the silo on Zeeburgereiland

After two years of renovations, the first of three historic sewage treatment silos on Zeeburgereiland in Amsterdam is scheduled to open as a cinema this November. Project developer Jurgen Dingemans confirmed that the westernmost tower will feature five screening rooms, a café, offices, and a rooftop bar. Although significant construction remains, the team is working diligently to meet the late 2024 deadline for the cinema facility. The transformation project began in September 2024 after years of the silos standing vacant and the city deciding to preserve the iconic structures rather than demolishing them. Following the cinema's debut, the remaining two towers are expected to be completed by early 2027. These additional structures will house a gym, which begins operations early next year, as well as various hospitality venues designed to offer an accessible, community-focused atmosphere for local residents and visitors alike.
