A place for the joy of living
Sporta 2 quarter vision and development potential
View Brochure
At the intersection of the historical centre of Riga and the area that is rapidly growing to be the most modern area of the city, SPORTA 2 quarter offers a dynamic and vibrant environment which fuses its unique historical character with the trends that will shape the future.
At its core, SPORTA 2 is a celebration of the city and street life – easily accessible and open to everyone, the quarter is bustling with life around the clock. It is a place to work and to live in, a place to learn and experience new things, a place where you can have fun and connect with others, in other words – it is a place to be!
Here, the industrial heritage of the quarter becomes the starting point of a modern development, which strives for sustainability in many ways. We make use of the existing and supplement it with the contemporary, creating an environment that is up to BREEAM standards. The walkable and green urban space will be enjoyed by generations to come, serving as a place to strengthen community and build a better future.

SPORTA 2
All you need to lead a healthy and exciting lifestyle comfortably
SPORTA 2 offers all you need to lead a healthy and exciting lifestyle comfortably, with everything from everyday conveniences to elevated experiences right there in the neighbourhood. While we strive to preserve history, our residential buildings match the future standard of living. With communal work and recreation spaces, smart apartments reach beyond their walls, creating a community and serving as a perfect backdrop for modern life.
The living areas extend to the outdoor spaces as green courtyards, terraces, and green walls. You can do your shopping at the organic products store and the weekly farmers market or skip the cooking altogether to enjoy a beautiful meal at one of the quarters’ restaurants. Whether you crave a healthy salad, fresh oysters, a warm bowl of ramen, the experience never disappoints.
Area for an agile lifestyle bringing together professionals, creatives and innovators
SPORTA 2 offices continue the idea of an agile lifestyle, bringing together professionals, creatives and innovators. The co-working spaces and the SPORTA 2 business incubator create an environment that encourages exchange of ideas that can be continued over a drink at one of the rooftop terraces offering a view at sunset.
Inspiring environment brings out the creative energy to express yourself
With events like concerts and art exhibitions, the quarter brings out the creative energy that inspires you to express yourself, whether you want to paint at the artists studio or learn new moves at the dance school. After the work is done, the garden or yoga studio awaits you to wind down and prepare for your next adventures.
