Boven 't Y

Boven 't Y is a shopping centre in the Amsterdam-Noord district of Amsterdam, Netherlands, situated on the Buikslotermeerplein in Buikslotermeer. It is described as the beating heart of Amsterdam-Noord, a lively place to shop, work, do business and enjoy oneself, where residents and visitors meet, discover unique shops and experience the conviviality of the hospitality sector. The centre is open seven days a week, offers free parking on Saturday mornings and Sundays, and is located two metro stops from Amsterdam Centraal. The shopping centre contains more than 140 shops. It lies on the south-eastern side of metro station Noord, the terminus of metro line 52 (the North/South line) towards Amsterdam Centraal and Station Zuid, and is also a hub for bus lines. Between the centre and the western side of the Buikslotermeerplein stands Pathé Amsterdam Noord cinema, and from Monday to Saturday a medium-sized market is held. The shops at the Olof Palmeplein on the eastern side are a continuation of the shopping centre, and the area between the former Waddenweg viaduct on the western side and the metro station is being further developed as an extension of the shopping centre. The name is derived from the common Amsterdam alternative name for Amsterdam-Noord — the part of Amsterdam on the north side of the IJ — 'Boven 't IJ', but the shopping centre's name is written with a Y instead of IJ. Originally the shopping centre was called Buikslotermeerplein; the name Boven 't Y was only introduced later. The first pile was driven on 21 January 1967 by alderman Roel de Wit, the first tree was planted on 1 April 1970, and the centre was opened on 17 September 1970 by former alderman Guus Hamm. The architect Rein Fledderus died a few weeks before the opening. The centre hosts regular special promotions and events for young and old, and its website publishes news about activities in and around the centre, such as the Cinekid Festival's 40th anniversary in Amsterdam-Noord, the Week of Accessibility at Pathé Amsterdam Noord, the Week against Loneliness, an information market about the future of the Buikslotermeerplein organised by the municipality of Amsterdam, the return of the Volksopera to Noord with the Buikslotermeerplein in a leading role, and volunteering opportunities with Amstelring Het Schouw.
