Can you make a wild guess where this city can be found?

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/93Makati_night-med.jpg

Great! I love this city! :)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1086.jpg
oh..only 90m..looks higher...
the highest is also very beautiful...
who says Rotterdam has no skyline :-)
thank your for the update

Yep only 90 meters, but the tower has been shortened, I think this rendering is one of the 98 meters tall design. 2 floors are gone in the new design, so bad. :(

Can you make a wild guess where this city can be found?

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/93Makati_night-med.jpg

Makati is part of the manilla area i believe.

And mote important here.Great update aedificium erectum. And you dit not even include 'the Rotterdam' by Koolhaas and 'Hoog aan de maas'.

The Rotterdam (139m)

"Hoog aan de maas' (78m)
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1189.jpg

I did only iclude the projects starting soon, The Rotterdam by Koolhaas will start not before 2006 I think. :(

okey Tim, i'll post some pics of 'proposed' skyscrapers too, which maybe will be built between now and ten years.

Pschor, 158 meters high:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1795.jpg

Maastower, this is the 225 meter pic, there's also a plan to short the tower to 135 meters:sly: I hope we don't gonna do that!

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/191.jpg

New Orleans, two residential towers of 150 meters high(located on the kop van zuid):

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/585.jpg



Havana, also two residentail towers of 150 meters high (also located on the kop van zuid):

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/811.jpg

Corsotower, 150 meter residential tower, located next to the Coolsingeltower and Hiltontower (hoteltower, pics are still not available:
http://www.a2studio.nl/showcase/fotos/91_125-03.jpg

The last pics is not the design of the tower, this is a study of a student for the same location.

And New Orleans/Havanna will have a new design too, there will be only 3 150 meter tall towers, and 3 70 meter tall ones.

And New Orleans/Havanna will have a new design too, there will be only 3 150 meter tall towers, and 3 70 meter tall ones.

There will be only 2 of 150 and 2 or 3 of 70 meters... Too bad.

A stunning collection of high quality towers... I'm jealous!

yeah rotterdam sure is doing great at the moment! by far the number one scraper capital of the benelux

yeah rotterdam sure is doing great at the moment! by far the number one scraper capital of the benelux

And with this building pace it will stay number one for years to come!

This one is also new. They start on november 4. It is called Oosterbaken (98m)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.02/2680.jpg

never heard of oosterbaken before:O look pretty fine to me!:)

so MANY gorgeous towers !!..I mean it....MANY !!! :eek:

Nice towers!! impresive...

wow superb ! Rotterdam IS booming :D

Nice

i believe there are studies to build some towers with a height of 260m around the 'hofplein'. and further they have projects for dense areas for towers growing up to 150m. so the 'baankwartier', the stationarea, 'wilheminapier', 'zuidplein', 'weena/hofplein' etc.
badly enough is a tower of 395m, with spire 501m, cancelled 2 years ago.

rotterdam is going to get the right way of developing! i hope rotterdam goes over the 200m-line, without spires, chimnies, masts or telecommunicationtowers.

so rotterdam has got 2 215m high chimnies, 2 170m high chimnies, one of 160m with nice flashing lights! one of 120m and etc, the further chimnies in height and another ones i don't know.

so they either has got a lot of 160m high electricitymasts in the near area, because of the many rivers around this harbourcity which cross them.

a 205m high radio, telecommunication mast of concrete and steel!

A new impression of the soon to be build Puntlocation tower (120 meters tall)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.03/3054.jpg

Thanks to Jan!

Wow!

The new skyscrapers going up in Rotterdam keeps getting bigger all the time.

and even more better, this tower is going to be 128 meters to top!!

Yep, will be a great 128 meter tall tower, top of the roof, in a to become superdense area with many residential towers!

The Fall and the Winter has arrived in the Netherlands. There are not much update pix. :(

@ Keezy

You post wrong news. That latest impression is not the tower which will be taller. This is the 3th one in that area. (read the update thread more secure please). The other 2 just north of the one you posted will be taller, about 100 meters in stead of 83.

Rotterdam is doing well now, lots of cranes in the city, mainly midrises bringing density.

Sorry for that :wallbash:

http://home.planet.nl/~lesch003/Montevideo_24012005.jpg

Construction for this building will start at 1 april. it is a midrise buidling and will have 19(20) floors. Height about 72 meters. It will be in the 'Kop van zuid' Area.


http://207.44.228.232/images/B03/3391.jpg

Coolsingeltower is 99% cancelled now. The project is like frozen deep inside the southpole icecaps.

The develloper doesn't have the guts to start construction in this bad economic times, the old building on the site will now be updated.

wow, rotterdam architecture is very unique!

Rotterdam gets a new tower called New Orleans. It's 153,60 meters tall! :cheers:

Just a few floors to go!

Breaking news. In 2006 construction will start on a new project called Salmpoort, which is now said to become 145 meters tall. But they want to become the tallest in city which means they have to go over 155 meters. There is no design of the tower yet.

Together with the many midrises Rdam is really building density now!

Overeenkomst voor ontwikkeling zuidkant Wilhelminapier

ROTTERDAM - De gemeente Rotterdam, Vesteda Project , Johan Matser Projectontwikkeling en Rabo Vastgoed hebben een overeenkomst bereikt over de verdere ontwikkeling op de zuidzijde van de Wilhelminapier.

Hiermee wordt gezamenlijk ca. € 250 mln geïnvesteerd en geeft de ontwikkeling van de Wilhelminapier als modern woongebied een nieuwe impuls.

PropertyNL, 13-06-2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rotterdam - The city council of Rotterdam, Vesteda Project, Johan Matser Project development and Rabo Real Estate have a agreement about the futher development on the southside of the Wilhelminapier. In the next 6 years they will build 5 towers. (2 towers 153 meters and 3 towers 70 meters)

^^^But with different designs. I hope the 3 midrises will be a spectacular design to compensate the lack of height...

@ Keezy

If you post something please add the current information because now nobody knows what your post is about.

Well let me tell the latest news is that the first 150 meter tall tower will start construction in early 2006. Design will be there soon. The the rest will be built later, from left to right on the above pic, finished in 2013/2015.

But there are no designs yet.

And 100 meter further to the right a 165 meters tall building will start construction early 2006 too. Design of that tower will be there soon too.

@ AE,

The impression shows the Wilheminapier in 2013 . Wenn sombody doesn't get it he's forgotten to read the post before the picture. The impression is a addition on the first post.

A new impression of what the Wilhelminapier should look like in about 10 years.

http://www.dewilhelminapier.nl/beelden/bld-intro-2.jpg

:cheers:

Oh no not that fucked up impression on the international forums! ;)

This are not the final designs, actually this are not the designs. But hopefully you are wrong and is the pier completed in about 8 years and not 10. :)

(on he left the billboard for the above Scheepmakers-tower, and in the background its crane, 100 m away from the red apple site, will be dense here!)

UWV just started construction, 72 m. On same site will start more construction later this year of towers in a range of 70 to 90 m.

And there is the Zalmhaven project of which we expect some renderings later this year wit another 150+ tower.

I don't understand where you get your information from, because my sources told me that the Zalmhaven project will be 145 meter's tall. could you tell me that please?

It is said that they wanted to built the tallest residential in NL, so that must be 150+.

It is said that they wanted to built the tallest residential in NL, so that must be 150+.

153.6+ :tongue2:

that's right, they said that, but all the notes remind me to a hight of 145 meters. I hope you're right, because it's the perfect location between the "Hoge Heren" and "Hoge Erasmus".

this is what I mean:

@ Cborg

Red Apple is more to the right. :)

And those 'MS Paint Renders' are sooooooooooo 90's... ;)

But it looks cool:cool:

Yeah, you can really tell the difference.

The Deloitte-tower, the former maastower, will be 161 meters tall.

Once again, I have to say Rotterdam Skyline is not only about quantity...but quality is always on the top, the whole city is nothing less than a design forum showcase.

totally agree!!

This midrise, The Shipping and Transport College (related to the port), is almost finished. Student will start to use the building in a month, not that tall but unique design:

The area is a redevellopment of old harbourterrain. It will become a dense urban area with lots of apartments, bars, restaurants and many commercial spaces which will be used by media technology companies. (there are allready many located there).

Some towers up to 90/120 meters will rise just behind this building in the next few years.

mass study of the area, constrution of this tower on the right, citycenter in the background:

Montevideo is great. I really like the diagonal beams being visible trough the windows. :cheers:

I'm proud to be a South Hollander! :) Rotterdam is going to be better with the plans en develpments.

Now, we can look at other projects in Rotterdam. Like the Scheepsmakerstoren. 88 meters tall.

A other interesting project is The Red Apple. 127 meters tall. The construction of the base start hopefully soon.
http://207.44.228.232/images/B03/3538.jpg

One of the most interesting developmens in Rotterdam is at the Wilhelminapier. 2 towers of 153 meters and 3 towers of 70 meters will be constructed between now and 10 years.

Montevideo is a masterpiece, indeed. Especially the newer high-rises are very unique. The Scheepmakerstoren is another favorite of mine. Fascinating!

:)

the picture of Laurens is defenitely UPC worthy

Laurens pic is.............amazing, a 10 in the upc.

I like the Red apple and Scheepsmakerstoren! For me are the best projects of Rotterdam......Montevideo have an old design, remember me some building built in Italy on the 50's and 60's, during the economic boom......i doesnt like it!

Rotterdam is a beatiful town, but there's a lot of new building too ugly.....with an old architecture.

Years ago I visited Rotterdam several times on a yearly basis.
I was impressed by what I saw that time , long before this forum existed.
Nowadays I have less time -and other interests- so I must say threads like these give me a perfect impression how the city has changed during the last five years.

It seems the boom isn't over yet , and I need to get over there someday to see it all live.

:applause: for the stunning photography !

The newest sensation, a study for a downtown location where a burned out building is standing now. (only the groundfloors are still in use, the rest is black with wood before the windows). But is is not a serious project yet but it can become one in the near future, let's hope so.

height: 140 meters
architect: DAVL Studio (http://www.davlstudio.com)

^Wow! interesting building :) ,have the same structure of the TurninTurso in Malmo!

http://www.hdprojectrealisatie.nl/images/hp-juffertoren.jpg

The develloper now said they want to built the tallest in the netherlands. Since the tallest approval now is 161 meters, they schould go taller then that... Good news!

That picture by Laurens is outstanding. Almost too good to be true. ;)

Is Coopveart topped out, or is it going higher? If so, how many floors does it have left?

Today there was some hopefull news in the local paper about the twisted tower.

And we have a picture of a new devellopment, 155 meters, and only this small rendering (tallest tower, on the left):

http://www.hdprojectrealisatie.nl/images/hp-juffertoren.jpg

ow, this is nice! but is the building (in the right of te rendering) the red apple?

^^ Yes that is The Red Apple. B.T.W. your sig is too large.

@ colemonkee:

There are just 7 floors left, excluding elevator installations.

Extremely beautiful & original city & buildings:shocked::applause:
I wonder if some of this buildings have been or being build by the Koolhaas project?

what do you mean with 'the koolhaas project' ?

When viewing a thread like this, I already start to feel proud about Rotterdam again... Many Dutch (and maybe European) people don't know how nice it is!

I've been Rotterdam for 2 times in 10years ago. I've been the place as you posted the pictures. Holland is one of my favorite country in Europe. I quite enjoyed the time during the trip there.
Dutch's architectures are also impressive and no need to mention it's
Art (My favorite painter is Van Gogh).
I'm seeing the skyline of Rotterdam is getting better than my visited
in 10year ago. I might to visit there again.

Nice Improvement for Rotterdam's skyline. Rotterdam South has alot of potention, but North is going to do well too. Between now and 6 years we surely have 6 locations where 150/150+ is gonna be built. Compared to now, Rotterdam has still one tower of 150 meter and one of 140, Rotterdam will Rock!

Rotterdam already has one of the best skylines of Europe, even with maybe lower towers than in other highrise cities. The indiviudal quality of the towers and the locations of the towers which plug in quite well at each other, makes Rotterdam my temporary European favorite.

More renderings of this new 156m building!

2005 was a good year too;)

What a stunning tower !!

^^

It will be built partly [b]in[/] the water.

Thanks for the update Keezy!

i like how they're building it on some kind of moat, good security feature to defend from the dragons and goblins :jk:

Thanks to Kees, we have this picture. The skyscrapers in the picture are not sure, they can be moved to other places. There will come some extra tower too (130+).
http://www.provenierssingel.nl/images/cs_spoorsingel.jpg

There seems to come 2 towers, one 120 meter and one 60 meter tower at the Erasmus Hospital:cheers:

That was the news, maybe I’ve forgotten some things but I’m sure the Dutch forum guys will help me.

Yeah big Party time if the Rem Koolhaas project will start! If we are lucky end 2006 is possible, so then we have 5 towers over 150 meters UC in that area!

Rotterdam is getting a serious skyline in Europa! A litlle bit of manhattanism on the old continent.

No, this is not NYC......but new city blocks in Rotterdam. The tower is set at 155 meter:

Which tower is that?

Nice overview. I am seriously considering a day trip this week after these pics! :D

aaaaaaaaaaah, there are to many pics in this page. :)

it already has a serious skyline - people only tend to forget that, only because the tallest in rotterdam is just over 150m. rotterdam is the perfect example, that you don't have to have really tall buildings to have a good skyline.


btw. did de rotterdam grow? wasn't it supposed to be 135m or something? is deloitte a tenant?

De Rotterdam's final height is not clear. Last number is 139, but this can simply become 150 meters, there have been some rumours about that.

The renders posted of De Rotterdam are a bit old, Deloitte was a possible tenant, but they will built their own tower 150 meters from the De Rotterdam site. But as said before another client has serious interest in this project now...

I hope it's clear now. :)

A short list of construction in Rotterdam in 2006:

Deloitte (Maastower), 165 meters. Since Deloitte is in a hurry, it's almost sure construction will start before summer 2006.

site now:
http://home.hetnet.nl/~tdb150881/rdamupdates/maastoren.jpg

New Orleans, 156 meters, renders coming really soon... construction almost sure to start somewhere after summer 2006...

De Rotterdam, design by Rem Koolhaas. Rumours about a tenant, and if that is treu construction is likely to begin before 2007!

Possibly the most urban building in Europe if build...

Traffic situation is fine, after the total destroy of the city center in 1940, Rotterdam built wide avenues which can handle the traffic very well till today and in the future.

All projects are amazing!!!

thank you!
so Istanbul needs more wide avenues
no avenues->no future skyscrapers (Architecture Chamber)

^^

Efficient public transport is also a solution to build mass density. Like in HK car ownership is only 22% of the households. Car use is even less because public transport is so efficient in this mass density linear metropolis.

Yes, 2006 will be a good year for us! :D

@ Tim, you forgot the;

Laurenshof 70m.
Wijnheave 74m.
and maybe Linea Nova (ter meulen) 70m.

^^

I don't know anything about progress for Ter Meulen..., and the other 2 projects are to ugly and not really tall. :)

^^ You know what's ugly? The new Corso design! :D
To ugly to show here!

where is this new tower going to be built exactly ?
http://www.archined.nl/archined/uploads/pics/cs-gevels.jpg

@ Snor

That is next to the train station as you can see. But this is not the design, but just something to show that there will be build something in the future. :)

Well not really. Traffic in the citycenter is very bad. It takes you half an hour to drive from north to south, even in the middle of the day.


But anyway, nice constructions :)

This De Rotterdam building will be the most ugly and hated building in the world....compared to that the elephant building in bangkok is a jewel.

The rest of the projects are seriously better then what has been built in Rotterdam already.

/\ i agree. Eventhough it seems to have a nice clad... its JUST a horrible wall! Its HORRIBLE IMO

^^ May be we can agree to disagree because the 'De Rotterdam' is one of the best buildings I've seen being proposed in Rotterdam ever.

http://207.44.228.232/images/B00/119.jpg

^^

Yeah, it's not a slender tower, but it is an impressive piece of mass density. Ultra Urbanism! With Offices, apartments, Cinema, Hotel, restauranst, pubs, parking, swimmingpool, healthclub and more small amenities!

This building is Urban!

Skyline on it's own!

Sorry but realy its realy bad imo,they will regret this .
and its not a skyline on its own ,its one big...thing..i have no words for it..i know im known to not be nice when it comes to Rotterdam ,but this is one building that scares the shit out of me,and if thats what people call urban development than id rather go back to the stoneage and live in a cave.
like i said the other projects are seriously of better quality and its a shame the volume of this building isnt being used to contruct 2 or 3 slender towers ,a damn shame!

^^

Have fun in you cave while others are enjoying their modern urban life. ;)

Oh i will ..lol.....i just dont see how others enjoy such a zitt in their city.

This ofcourse is just my opninion,id like to see more reactions about it....maybe its just me...huh? :)

We'll it's clear this building is controversial... Some really hate it, some love it. I love all buildings which are big and/or tall. I love slender buildings, but massive buildings too.

What I like most in this building (it's not a tower), is that it's an urban fabric at it's best! togehter with the slender residentials up to 160 meters behind it I think it will add nice to the pier...

Marcobruls, you are not the only one.
This building is a nightmare and I hope it will never be built.
Look at the sheer size: a huge mass blocking the view from the right bank of the river, dwarfing the Earsmus bridge and any cruiseliner docking, it will be looming over you if standing on the quay.
This building is an artist's folly. Density, canyons and urban feelings are concepts only in city planners minds. This is a building wanted by architects, freaks and urbanologists, not by the people.
And guess who designed it? Koolhaas. Ever visited a Koolhaas and interviewed the occupants? Are they ever satisfied with the daily use of the artist's vision? Koolhaas is a great man, but not a very practical one. This building will take ages to build and it will be a super-Scheepmakerstoren.
Ask the 3 consecutive Mayors of Porto, who witnessed the progress of the Casa da Musica. Yes, it's finished by now, but do not ask how. For a Portuguese, being slow is not a problem, but this Koolhaas beat everything. It was impossible to build.
Just look at the shape of De Rotterdam and you can imagine what is going to happen. The scandal of De Rotterdam?
With this building Rotterdam is back in the 1990s: the hubris years. A planner's delight, a citizen's nightmare. Such a building will create a feeling of anonimity and breed only violence. O, I am sorry, that is urban? Right.
Rotterdam does not need a building like De Rotterdam. It will eat away at other developments, drain the older quartes of its middle and upper classes as well as amenities. It will turn the Wilheminapier into a ghetto for white yuppies and the older quarters into black and muslim quarters.
Better develop townhouses and appartments in smaller buildings in areas like Delfshaven, Feijenoord and Noord. That's another vision of density and urban life.
Just my 2 cents....

This building is an eyesore. Hope it will never be built.

Impression New Orleans!!!! (150+)


http://207.44.228.232/images/B04/4282.jpg

I see that Keezy was already faster than me!:tongue3:

This tower will be 156-158 meters tall. Latest news say 158 meter. I think the design is definitly beautiful, high quality facade and an excellent rooftop:cheers:

I think I agree. on the first sight it doesn't look special. but when you look closer, especially at the top section, you will discover a few nice feautures. and it looks great in white.

De Rotterdam is really huge and awesome building. I like its monstrous and giant appearance.

Hmmm, those are exactly the reasons I like the Rotterdam. With the Maastoren, Montevideo and New Orleans in its direct vicinity, it will just look überurban.

That render of New Orleans looks nice. A slender and not very spectacular, yet classy building.

Yup, that New Orleans Render is great! 2 towers of about 160 meters will start construction this year! But what we really want is 200+...

New orleans looks great!but i think they need to put a spire on it itl make it look better to the top.this is the best in Rotterdam for sure.

very intersting thread. interesting and partially amazing projects, but esp. De Rotterdam is so ugly and way to massive...

Impression Zalmhaven. 155+ meters
http://207.44.228.232/images/B04/4284.jpg

Wow alot of cool stuff is getting built! Cool!

Nice sky there! New Orleans, although it is pretty high for the region, does not look really what i'd expected of it... too bad. Rest of the construction plans are great and I'm looking forward to seeing them build!

I think it's not 100% hospital, but partly or totaly university space. But that's not clear for me yet, maybe someone else knows...

The Scheepmakerstoren is again under construction after the project was on "on hold" for many months.

Zalmhaven Urban Plan news: LSI project investment, AM Wonen and Amvest signed a convenant on this project. They will build 560 apartments and 830 parkingplaces. Total investment: € 150 mln. They want to start in early 2007.

Tower is said to be 160 meters.
