History of Java Island Between 1997 and 2000, this former harbour island, part of the Eastern Docklands, was transformed into a highly sought-after residential neighbourhood right next to the city centre. The design was developed under the supervision of the renowned architect Sjoerd Soeters, whose vision is clearly visible. Java Island is a modern interpretation and continuation of the canal ring, with a great variety of architecture by renowned architects. In addition to the IJ and the IJhaven, there are four cross canals lined with large and small canal houses. Just as in the seventeenth-century canal ring, various landscape architects have created beautiful inner gardens. Java Island has been so successful that it became a blueprint for new development areas at home and abroad, and it is expected to be granted heritage status one day. It is just one bridge away from the heart of Amsterdam. With four specially designed inner gardens and the Bogortuinpark, the island offers an unusual amount of space and greenery so close to the city centre. Swimming, sailing and water sports can be enjoyed here to your heart's content. Outdoor space From the living room you step onto the spacious south-facing balcony. Storage There is a surprising amount of storage space: next to the kitchen, under the stairs and in the private storage room in the basement level of the complex. Parking Parking is available on the public road with a resident's permit. Owners' association (VvE) The apartment is part of an active owners' association with a professional manager.
