At Amstel Discovery District, we are pioneering a new approach to urban living that goes beyond the traditional concept of housing. Our focus is on creating smart, sustainable environments where technology, mobility, and community well-being converge to enhance the quality of life for everyone. By integrating smart solutions, mobility infrastructure, and innovative services, we’re building a model for the future of cities.
A Connected, Sustainable Ecosystem
Smart living in the Amstel Discovery District is defined by a highly integrated, connected ecosystem. We prioritize smart mobility as a key aspect of our community, offering seamless, sustainable transport options that reduce reliance on private and polluting cars. Shared electric vehicles, bikes, and transport services ensure that residents, workers, and visitors can move easily toward and from the district while reducing their carbon footprint.
By investing in smart mobility solutions, we not only improve daily convenience but also contribute to the district’s broader sustainability goals. The ease of accessing sustainable transport enhances both the economic and social vibrancy of the area, attracting businesses, talent, and visitors.
Extended Stay Living Areas for Flexibility and Growth
One of the standout features of the Amstel Discovery District is the emphasis on extended stay living areas—flexible spaces that cater to professionals, entrepreneurs, and visitors who require more than just a short-term place to stay. These areas support longer-term stays, promoting a sense of community and stability for those who wish to live and work in the district for extended periods.
These extended stay areas provide both economic and social benefits. By offering flexible accommodation options, we help foster a vibrant, diverse community where people from different backgrounds and professions can collaborate, exchange ideas, and build lasting connections. The district’s mix of residential and business spaces supports the local economy by attracting international talent and companies.
Convenient, Accessible Services for Daily Life
To further enhance the smart living experience, the Amstel Discovery District will offer a range of on-site services that make life more convenient and enjoyable. A small convenience store will provide easy access to everyday essentials, ensuring that residents and workers have everything they need within walking distance. The district also plans to incorporate other services, such as cafes, wellness centers, and concierge services, to make living and working here as seamless as possible.
These services are part of our commitment to creating a self-sustaining, dynamic community that supports both the personal and professional needs of its residents. By reducing the need for long trips and enhancing the convenience of everyday life, we aim to increase productivity, well-being, and overall satisfaction for those living and working in the district.
A Hub for Innovation and Social Impact
The Amstel Discovery District is more than just a place to live or work—it’s a hub for innovation, collaboration, and social impact. With easy access to amenities, cultural spaces like the Museum, and wellness facilities like the Meditation Center, the district fosters a balanced, holistic lifestyle that supports both mental and physical well-being.
Shaping the Future of Urban Living
The Amstel Discovery District is a model for the cities of tomorrow, where smart living, mobility, and sustainability are at the heart of urban life. By offering integrated solutions, flexible living spaces, and on-site services, we’re creating an ecosystem that benefits residents, businesses, and society at large. This vision fosters a sustainable, vibrant community that works smarter, lives healthier, and grows stronger together.
