Quartz festively opened

Amsterdam has a new landmark. The opening of Q Residences took place on Monday 12 December. On the beautiful plaza, designed and planted by Piet Oudolf, Reinier van Dantzig, alderman for Housing and Urban Development, together with Jeanne Gang and Lesley Bamberger, unveiled the creation of Studio Job: a man-sized sculpture in which the Q logo is reflected. As deputy mayor, Van Dantzig filled in for mayor Femke Halsema, who was unable to attend at the last minute. Halsema regretted not being able to perform the opening and emphasized the significance of Q Residences for the city: “Amsterdam is proud of this new gem in the city. We thank all those involved for always giving the city a helping hand.”
