From tax office to vibrant residential building. The Netherlands’ oldest Jackblock building, the former headquarters of the Tax and Customs Administration, has been given a new lease on life as a residential building The General. At the initiative of Aertgeerts Bouw, we developed an innovative transformation plan to turn the tower into a spacious, flexible and sustainable residential building. With 192 apartments and 23,600 m² of gross floor area, De Generaal offers a home to a diverse group of residents: from first-time buyers to seniors, in both rental and owner-occupied homes.
