Kronenburg is an office district in Amstelveen. The district is located in the far north of the municipality against the border with Amsterdam at the Kalfjeslaan. The west side is bordered by the Beneluxbaan, the east side by sports park Het Loopveld and the south side by the district Bankras / Kostverloren.
The office district was completed in the early seventies and was mainly intended for service companies. The district was spacious with avenues and foot and cycle paths where in between a lot of green with water parties. In the nineties, the district was expanded somewhat to the east with a number of new offices.
