Following a record-setting 20-week construction period, Wasa Student Village was opened in Amsterdam Sloterdijk. Wasa is a residential district that accommodates 358 apartments for Dutch and international students attending the UvA and the HvA, professional young adults and young status holders. In cooperation with several partners, including the City of Amsterdam, B-Right Urban Living developed this special location where different target groups come together in a mixed-living concept.

Special attention has been paid to the development of communal areas where residents can meet and undertake activities. In addition, the approach and concept promote the assimilation of young status holders into society.
