The Dutch state has
bought the building where the European Medicines Agency will be housed
temporarily after its move from London post-Brexit.
The state originally
planned to lease the Sparkgebouw building for 10 years from owner OVG Real
Estate, but buying the property has turned out to be cheaper, ‘particularly in
the long term’ according to the home affairs ministry.
The building, next to the
Sloterdijk train station, has cost the state almost €43m. The ministry did not
say what the leasing costs would have been.
The permanent EMA building is under
construction in Amsterdam’s Zuidas business district and will be completed in
November 2019, several months after the EMA moves its operations.
