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 newly developed neighbourhood, situated near the river Amstel, will only include sustainable and energy-neutral facilities and housing, including 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 Robin
The Robin in the Central District sits almost like a gatekeeper at the entrance of the Bajeskwartier, close to the Amstel and only 10 minutes’ cycling from the city centre. Step outside and feel surrounded by greenery, stroll through the gardens, and meet with friends and neighbours. Relax on one of the benches, spread out your picnic blanket, go for a run or skating, pick something to eat from the vegetable garden, or simply enjoy the surrounding area.

The Robin will include 129 high-end owner-occupied apartments, from smartly designed studios of approx. 45 m2 to spacious 2 or 3-bedroom apartments of approx. 113 m2. Apart from the private outdoor spaces, the 5th and 9th floors will include resident-only roof terraces where you can unwind and enjoy a green oasis within this unique and urban setting.

The ground floor will house a nursery where children can play safely within an enclosed garden or go on an adventure (supervised, of course) through the dozens of the Bajeskwartier public gardens. The Robin will also include a service centre where you can, e.g., pick up your delivered parcel or get more information on shared mobility. The Robin has direct access to the Bajeskwartier mobility hub. Apart from the car-sharing initiative – where you can book a car to have it ready for you – residents can still also obtain individual parking permits.
