Bullewijk
neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Bullewijk is a neighborhood and business park in the quarter of Amsterdam-Zuidoost (Amsterdam-Southeast), Netherlands. The neighborhood received its name in 1978 and was named after the nearby river of the same name. It was created due to a partial elevation of the Bullewijker and Holendrecht polder.
Location
Bullewijk is bordered in the east by the Amsterdam – Utrecht railway line, in the west by the Utrechtseweg, in the north by the Burgemeester Stramanweg (Mayor Straman road) and in the south by the Tafelbergweg (Table Mountain road). The neighborhood gets cut in half by the Gaasperdammerweg (from east to west) and the Holterbergweg (from north to south).
The largest and most prominent buildings include the Academic Medical Center, an IKEA shop, the Atlasgebouw (Atlas Building) and the Johan Cruyff Arena.
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.

Why this record matters

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q198164. Authority coordinates are 52.307, 4.952. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
