De Scheg
De Scheg, in Noorder Legmeerpolder, is the latest district of Amstelveen to be expanded. Its gross area is about 59 hectares, and it is located south of Westwijk between Legmeerdijk and Bovenkerkerweg. The name Scheg (skeg, part of a boat keel) comes from the shape of the region, whose southern border is formed by a Schiphol flight route (and also an aircraft noise contour) that runs diagonally through the polder.

De Scheg description
Aim
The aim is for the area to be developed by market participants. The municipality is not pursuing any active regional zoning policy (except for a plot of 1.5 hectares bought a few years ago). There are around 15 landowners present in the area, including a consortium comprising Bouwfonds Property Development, Syntrus Achmea and Roosdom Tijhuis, which owns about 20 hectares. Grondontwikkeling Nederland also owns part of the area. In 2015 the local council of Amstelveen has established the "Ontwikkelvisie". In this vision the conditions of the development the area of De Scheg are explained. The "Ontwikkelvisie" can be found on the website of the municipality of Amstelveen. There are also a few active farms, but they are prepared to stop their operations.
The area is estimated to be able to accommodate about 1100 homes. The starting point is that there will not be any social housing, and the houses will be aimed at people upscaling on the Amstelveen housing market. This translates into single-family homes in the mid to upper price sale and rental segments, supplemented with cheaper owner-occupier properties in the lower-price segment. There is also space for private rental property in De Scheg. In addition, the properties should preferably be completed by 2020 with an EPC of 0. The land-use plan is expected to be established in 2020, after which the area can be prepared for building.
Programme
± 800-900 homes with school and daycare. No other provisions. Distribution of homes: about 77% owner-occupied and 23% private rental housing (there is already an investor for this share). No social housing is planned.

- Roosdom Tijhuis and Syntrus Achmea each have large shares. Rochdale and Grondontwikkeling Nederland also own shares, and the municipality owns a small one. The rest of the land belongs to a range of owners, including a number of farms.

Schiphol Trade Park is directly next to Schiphol and has its own access road to the A4 and is linked via the A5 to the Port of Amsterdam. The business park’s ambition is to become the most sustainable business park in Europe. In terms of spatial planning, for example, a lot of thought is going into the use of green energy, reusing materials and the sustainable use of water. Companies located here not only have to fulfil sustainability requirements, but also the high image quality requirements in the field of, for example, nature inclusiveness, biodiversity, ecology and the living environment. The green image of the buildings is the ‘new normal’
