Revitalizing downtown Jamaica through art, affordability, and design

Perkins Eastman partnered with BRP Companies to envision Ruby Square, a transformative 624,000 sf mixed-use development in the heart of downtown Jamaica, Queens. The project delivers 525 sustainably designed residential units, including 105 affordable homes for artists in collaboration with the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation.

Strategically located near public transit and cultural institutions, Ruby Square anchors the revitalization of the 168th Street corridor. The development blends quality design, sustainable practices, and dynamic mixed-use programming, featuring 75,000 sf of retail and 5,000 sf of creative space curated by the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning. Designed to enhance housing affordability, activate the streetscape, and cultivate a cultural destination, Ruby Square is a bold step forward in shaping Downtown Jamaica’s future.
