What are Industrial Warehouses?
Converted shipyard buildings at NDSM Wharf with exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and flexible layouts.
Also known as: Warehouse Amsterdam Event
What to Expect
You cross the IJ river by free ferry from Amsterdam Centraal — the 5-minute crossing itself sets the tone, with the city skyline receding behind you. At NDSM Wharf, converted shipyard buildings reveal cavernous spaces with steel beams, raw concrete, and soaring ceilings of 8-12 metres. These are blank canvases: some arrive with the raw industrial character intact, others have been softened with lighting, curtains, and modular furniture. Spaces range from 200sqm studios to 2,000sqm+ warehouse halls. Most include a basic kitchen or prep area for caterers. Loading access for equipment is straightforward — these were built for ships. Natural light floods through industrial windows during the day. For evening events, atmospheric lighting transforms the space. The creative community at NDSM — artists, designers, startups — gives the area an energy that conventional venues lack.

Tips from Our Team
- 1.
Budget EUR 500-2,000 for AV separately — most warehouses do not include sound systems, projectors, or lighting in the rental price.
- 2.
The free ferry runs every few minutes until after midnight — factor the crossing into your event timeline and communicate it to guests as part of the experience.
- 3.
NDSM warehouses have excellent load-in access — if you are bringing significant equipment or decoration, this is a major advantage over canal house venues.
- 4.
Visit during the day and evening — the space looks and feels completely different with natural light versus atmospheric lighting, and both configurations have strengths.
