The business plan for OMA's new Feyenoord Stadium has been approved, as the design phase of the project contract has been finalized. The Municipality of Rotterdam will invest €40 million in the Feyenoord Stadium project, having fulfilled all the main design conditions required by the Municipality, marking an important step towards the realization of the project.

The municipal investment is central to the realization of the Feyenoord Stadium, with an estimated budget of 444 million euros.

The new Feyenoord Stadium is part of the Feyenoord City master plan, a plan in which OMA has been involved in cooperation with the football club and the municipality of Rotterdam.

The new Feyenoord Stadium will act as a catalyst for the urban development of Rotterdam Zuid, one of the city's neighborhoods most in need of rejuvenation and economic injection.
OMA's master plan for Feyenoord City consists of five main elements: a new and larger stadium for Feyenoord, the renovation of De Kuip, the development of the Urban Bridge, the Strip, and Kuip Park.

According to an approved feasibility study, the new Feyenoord Stadium will generate a profit of more than 7.5 million euros for the football club in its first season. The Feyenoord club's revenues are also expected to increase year on year, strengthening it as a professional football organization for decades to come.


“The approval of the business case has given us full confidence that realization of the new Feyenoord Stadium is feasible, and will help the club move forward. Over the past months, we have further optimized the design to ensure on time and cost-effective delivery of the project, working closely with Feyenoord, the municipality, the contractors, supporters, and all collaborators. Now with the contract design ready, we can clearly envision this building integral to the Feyenoord City masterplan in use.”
David Gianotten, OMA Managing Partner - Architect

The Feyenoord City master plan has been developed in collaboration with the developer Stichting Gebiedsontwikkeling aan de Maas, Rotterdam City Council, Feijenoord Stadium and various stakeholders. The master plan was approved by the Rotterdam City Council in October 2019. OMA submitted the building permit and finalized the detailed design of Feyenoord Stadium in 2020.

Following confirmation of the final fifteen percent of the financing for the stadium and an agreement on the construction costs at the end of 2021, the project will start construction in 2022 and be completed in 2025. The project is led by OMA's managing partner, architect David Gianotten, together with associate Kees van Casteren and project architects Shinji Takagi and Sandra Bsat.

Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is an international practice operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism. AMO, a research and design studio, applies architectural thinking to domains beyond. OMA is led by eight partners – Rem Koolhaas, Reinier de Graaf, Ellen van Loon, Shohei Shigematsu, Iyad Alsaka, Chris van Duijn, Jason Long, and Managing Partner-Architect David Gianotten – and maintains offices in Rotterdam, New York, Hong Kong, Doha, and Australia. OMA-designed buildings currently under construction are the renovation of Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) in Berlin, The Factory in Manchester, Hangzhou Prism, the CMG Times Center in Shenzhen and the Simone Veil Bridge in Bordeaux.

OMA’s completed projects include Taipei Performing Arts Centre (2022), Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles (2020), Norra Tornen in Stockholm (2020), Axel Springer Campus in Berlin (2020), MEETT Toulouse Exhibition and Convention Centre (2020), Galleria in Gwanggyo (2020), WA Museum Boola Bardip (2020), nhow RAI Hotel in Amsterdam (2020), a new building for Brighton College (2020), and Potato Head Studios in Bali (2020). Earlier buildings include Fondazione Prada in Milan (2018), Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow (2015), De Rotterdam (2013), CCTV Headquarters in Beijing (2012), Casa da Música in Porto (2005), and the Seattle Central Library (2004).

AMO often works in parallel with OMA's clients to fertilize architecture with intelligence from this array of disciplines. This is the case with Prada: AMO's research into identity, in-store technology, and new possibilities of content-production in fashion helped generate OMA's architectural designs for new Prada epicenter stores in New York and Los Angeles. In 2004, AMO was commissioned by the European Union to study its visual communication, and designed a colored "barcode" flag, combining the flags of all member states, which was used during the Austrian presidency of the EU. AMO has worked with Universal Studios, Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Heineken, Ikea, Condé Nast, Harvard University and the Hermitage. It has produced Countryside: The Future, a research exhibited at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; exhibitions at the Venice Architecture Biennale, including Public Works (2012), Cronocaos (2010), and The Gulf (2006); and for Fondazione Prada, including When Attitudes Become Form (2012) and Serial and Portable Classics (2015). AMO, with Harvard University, was responsible for the research and curation of the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale and its publication Elements. Other notable projects are Roadmap 2050, a plan for a Europe-wide renewable energy grid; Project Japan, a 720-page book on the Metabolism architecture movement (Taschen, 2010); and the educational program of Strelka Institute in Moscow.
