I thought almost every garage in the Netherlands is technically underwater. Isn't a third of the country a below sea level?

An underground garage is below sea level but not underneath water. As we Dutch always (try to) keep the water out. This garage however is build underneath water. The Amsterdam Central Station is next to The IJ waterway. Building the garage in front of the station like elsewhere would mean chaos for several years. Building it however on the other side underneath the water was easier.

And getting all those bikes away from the station entrance is brilliant. Can't wait to return!
