After consultations with the city and the historic preservation authority, an architectural study of the building’s history and an evaluation of the historically valuable elements, it was revealed that the former headquarters of R.S. Stokvis & Zonen, at that time the largest trading company in Western Europe, could be converted into 3 exclusive loft-style apartments and 1 unique penthouse. This was to be tastefully done in order to preserve the look and feel of the original, stately trading office.
