Design

The Bullewijk neighborhood was designed with industrial and office zones named ''Amstel III'', and construction started in the 1980s. According to the views of that time, the car was given full priority there, and working and living were strictly separated. G&S, a company founded in 1978, contributed the most in the construction of the Bullewijk. They built and developed about 65 buildings.
