The Bajeskwartier is fast becoming a green yet urban neighbourhood where living, working, sports, and experiences all come together. The area has a rich history as it used to include the “Bijlmer prison” and now offers a rich future as an inspiring and welcoming new residential neighbourhood in Amsterdam.

The neighbourhood, situated near the river Amstel, will only include sustainable and energy-neutral facilities and housing. The latter will comprise around 1350 (social) rental properties and owner-occupied properties. A lot of space is reserved for 68 themed and mostly public gardens that are intended to stimulate a healthy lifestyle. This is where every modern urbanite will love to find their home and space to live. The Bajeskwartier also includes a diverse range of functions, from creative spaces and businesses to luxury penthouses, urban farming, a secondary school, a student hotel, and a designer district. Social housing mixed with cosmopolitan studio apartments, a fresh produce market, and a brewery. Furthermore, it will house innovative hospitality concepts, creative studios, green office spaces, and a health centre. The Bajeskwartier is diverse and inclusive – a place where anyone would love to be.

The Ruby
The Ruby is a great example of an ultra-modern urban building in the Bajeskwartier, surrounded by all the facilities you expect from urban living. At the same time, The Ruby is right next to the vegetable garden and close to healthcare facilities. You only need to step outside to be part of the interlinked and hugely varied garden landscape with lots of options for sports and playing. Hear the birds chirping, watch the children playing, go for a stroll or lend a hand in the vegetable garden.

It is the vegetable garden just outside the building that makes The Ruby absolutely unique. This is where you and your neighbours can grow fresh produce for healthy meals with seasonal, home-grown ingredients.
The so-called ‘home for life’ apartments offer all the mod-cons and comfort you need now and in the future – so you never have to move again. The variety in residents and way of living makes The Ruby fun and surprising.
