Apple has put up Orange window coverings teasing the arrival of their new retail store in Amsterdam, reports iPhoneclub.nl.

ifoAppleStore notes that the new location is in the "historic Hirsch Building at Leidseplein 29, which dates back to 1909, and originally belonged to an international fashion house. It sits at a prominent and very visible corner, overlooking a huge intersection where the city's tram line passes by. The building is topped with a 124-foot copper dome that made it the tallest retail building in The Netherlands at the time. Inside, a huge atrium and other architectural details give the building a spectacular appearance. "

Apple originally had some problems getting its designs approved by the city's Wealth and Monuments Commission; however, it appears these issues have been solved and the store is close to opening.
