RUBY SQUARE

Located in Jamaica, Queens, Ruby Square is a 614-unit, new residential development that includes nearly one acre of public and private outdoor amenity space for residents and their guests. Envisioned as a small park and sculpture garden, the landscape includes both passive and active recreation enclosed by over fifty trees and thousands of shrubs, perennials, and grasses.

At the heart of the development is a half acre outdoor amenity deck that offer opportunities for respite, viewing, lounging, sunbathing, seating, working, and informal play. Situated one floor below and adjacent to the ground floor lobby, a sculpture garden offers an inward-looking moment and brings the landscape into the lobby. The glass curtain walls look onto a lush garden with a slightly mounded tree grove and seasonal plantings. Additional amenities include a sun terrace on the tenth floor and a dining terrace on the twelfth floor with four outdoor grills for cookouts and parties.
