Damn, this is getting hard to follow. I think we should limit the updates to 5 pics a person. People are already not too interested in this project (at least it seems like they aren't) and now you have to wait like 5 minutes for a page to load. Any of the Dutch members with me on this?

I agree. :) it doesn't take 5 minutes for me to load a page on here (more like 10 seconds) but still... it's a bit too much. ;)
I think in general people get turned away by the big load time this thread could give.

Perhaps pick only the photos that are truly pretty and give a substantial update when compared to the previous one. Now it's a bit much of the same...

I do not click on Rotterdam threads that are more than halfway through a page because they basically decimate my computer. If a poster wants to put a ton of pictures maybe they should space them into multiple posts. In fact, just writing this comment is giving me problems, the rest of the page has been loading for a while!

I was just thinking the same - too many pictures and most of them of the same stuff... so I didn't wait around.

This is going to be a huge building! perhaps it would be better if the building was slightly thinner and a bit higher :)

They are really building with incredible speed. :D

I think we'd better reduce the number of pictures ie just select the best 3 - 5 and post them.
I could post 20 pics in separate posts but then you still would have to open 20 pics. :|

It's not about the number of pictures as much as that they just stack up on 1 page. Theoretically, if you split those 20 pics into 3 posts instead of 1, then each page would only have 1/3 the total pictures. Either way works, I am definitely interested in these buildings, but we don't all have state of the art computers over here :)

Anyway, just leave it at 3 to 5 please.

Please make it pleasant to check Rotterdam-threads and stop posting this much pics. Nobody wants 5-10 pics every couple of day's. The amount of textual-posts and pic-posts should be more balanced, like in almost every other thread. I appreciate the efforts, but it's very irritating as well.

Thanks.

Impressive project!

^^ It's already as tall as the warehouses, probably 20 meter or so. despite its size, it goes up pretty fast. :)

I'll flip your statement and say to you, the other threads need more pictures! This is a skyscraper forum, so if somewhere in the world a company builds one, we want to know about it and pictures say more than a thousand words.

Throw a person a ball and he'll catch it, throw a bucket full and they'll all land on the floor.
Too many off the same pictures only makes you scroll faster and see less...

Still, a very nice project to follow.

the tower is starting to get impressive !!

De Rotterdam must have been proposed back in 2002 at the latest. I didn't like it much then, but it's grown on me since. What has caused such a long delay in construction?

^^ Basically its huge size and poor economics meant that it was hard to get enough occupants for this tower.
The city coucil then decided this development was so important for this area that they would lease a huge part of the office space.
A hotel will lease one of the 3 towers and the remaining space (1 tower) will be apartments.

Sounds like you've got a pretty enviable council. Any idea who the hotel operator is?

Good progress! :cheers:

Please speak English in the International section :)

Rotterdam is already part of the big boys in europe, and its not such a big city.

indeed tim rotterdam is top 5 skyline city in europe but 50st biggest city in europe

Cool project!

Why are three of those floors' ceilings so low?

i believe because they are parking layers...

This building is an incredible scale for Rotterdam, like a part of manhattan is taken up and put down here.

The height of 490 feet would hardly be noticed on Manhattan, so I'd be careful with this comparison ;)

i believe because they are parking layers...

Bicycle parking?

Over here we don't drive trucks because we pay triple gas rates compared to North America :)

No, I was asking if the ceilings are so low for those three floors because it is bicycle parking...?

^^ They are easily high enough for cars. No problem.

Yes I know and my reply implicates that our cars do fit in.

Well, that depends on how you look at it. Rotterdam is part of a metropolitan area of approximately 1.2 mill. Quite big:), and part of the Randstad Metropool, with a population of 7 million people. Its situated in the most densely part of the Nederlands.

Bring on the cladding!!! :)

^^ I can't wait either. It is expected that they will start with the cladding this month.

Here are some proposed claddings. Which one will be chosen is not clear yet, probably the last one

Mijn Theorie:

Op de foto's zien we een opstelling met verschillende gevelopties. Je ziet groene stukken, grijze stukken, zwarte stukken en horizontaal grijs gestreepte stukken. Links zien we daar ook nog zwarte afwerking bij (weet niet hoe ik dat moet noemen). Op de foto van Dummy zien we een kantoorgevel (te zien aan de hogere borstwering als ik dat zo goed noem) en er is dus blijkbaar gekozen voor die horizontaal grijs gestreepte oplossing. Dat zijn dus geen ventilatieroosters al kan ik die associatie begrijpen...
http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3460/dsc0002lj.jpg

Definitieve gevel:
http://i56.tinypic.com/30nhd0h.jpg

Ik denk dus dat het gehele gebouw de gevels krijgt met de grijze horizontale streepjes, en dat de gevel van Dummy van het kantoordeel is. Persoonlijk had ik de zwarte oplossing veel mooier gevonden denk ik.

I think the cladding/facade quality will make the difference in this project. Otherwise, it could just look either too heavy or too wide. Or both things. I still don't like the fact that such a massive and yet high building is being built in a highrise scenario, turning out to be one of the highest towers in the area, the other towers looking tinier and smaller than they actually are as a consequence. I would have prefered a more vertical tower, but let's wait for the final result.

What is that project promoted on the "2020" billboard?

That's this render, showing as the tallest building Baltimore, designed by Foster & Partners, 178m tall. That project will not start before 2017 since there will be build a temporary parking garage in 2012 for 5 years on the location. :( Good chance that whatever is going to be build here will be another design, the project changed from develloper recently. Hopefully it will be at least the same height!

http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/243/8511va5.jpg

Though it is massive, the design looks very good. I wonder if there will be a user. Who needs so much office space these days?

Thx Skyscrapercitizen! Don't worry, it's not Toronto, everything they will build at that location will be of good quality.
This little island turns into a micro-manhattan :)

Well, that has been the problem with both de Rotterdam (rescued by the municipality of Rotterdam) and the Baltimore tower.
I think that with a new developer of Baltimore, it should become a mixed use tower, or even residential only.

It has been nicknamed Manhattan at the Maas
At least the ambitions have not decreased here.

I think the cladding will be great when this project is finished.

I'm so Proud to see this project! Proud on OMA architects, the builders and developpers. This is really "un-Dutch". Finally we dare to build such confronting architecture.

I don't see why a building in Rotterdam, designed by a Dutch architect, developed by a Dutch developer is "un-dutch"

We've created a country out of the sea, protected it by a massive infrastructure of dams and dikes, host the largest port of Europe, are at the heartland of the European economy, et cetera. We can be proud of ourselves, and should not use terms as "un-dutch".

Next to that, we founded New York :) Manhattan should become a Rotterdam on the Hudson ;)

Though it is massive, the design looks very good. I wonder if there will be a user. Who needs so much office space these days?

De Rotterdam is not only office. Two blocks are residential, 3 blocks are office, 1 block is 4 star hotel by NH.

The quality of this cladding is really superb!

and so are the pictures. :)

This is by far the most interesting project in Rotterdam of the last years. Rotterdam should get some more of these new architectural masterpieces, so the city can reclaim its already dated self-proclaimed title 'city of architecture'. :)

^^ Couln't agree more. :)

Very nice progress!! :D

sorry Roterdam and Koolhaas! But this tower is just ugly... well its not ugly facade wise, but its a blody Wall on the bank! That is not good!

oh 2006 ch1le, so stupid you were.

^^But that comment was on the first page?? ;)

Maybe he changed his mind. When he gave his reply, they weren’t starting with constructing. He only saw those renders.

Check who's quoting who ;) Reflecting on yourself is quite honoust (and funny :))

Really nice update btw!!!

Maybe bubbah should follow his example :D

^^ Perhaps in 6 years. :lol:

Great! Thanks! :)

Nice pictures,cant wait when it's finished.

Too many photos. It takes forever to load. Please post a max of 5 photos next time. We really appreciate the update and contribution, it's just that it takes forever to load the page and we're staring at the same photos on the top of the page for weeks. (There is not as much activity here as there is on the thread in the Dutch section). Thanks for understanding jb.

At last some nice weather, time to take some pictures with light and shadows.

nice pictures bulgerhoog thank you !,this will be a great building..finaly a building with good quality cladding and it will be multifunctional !
:)
last time i walked by the rotterdam , allot of pannels where placed !:cheers:

Great shots Bulgerhoog! :okay:

Nice to see that they started with the cladding of the ground floor.

Yeah.. great to see it devoloping...the streetlife wil improve alot over here!

Omg, why don't they just build a huge concrete wall? Damn I'm so ashamed, this building has no imagination or what so ever.

One of my favorite project in Netherlands and in Europe :) I love it!
But why they can't build more then 200m+ ?

Omg, why don't they just build a huge concrete wall? Damn I'm so ashamed, this building has no imagination or what so ever. Idon't agree at all with your oppinion at all ! i think this building will be real eyecatcher of the kop v zuid and the cladding is allso very nice:)
it will be a landmark like de maastoren orde willemswerf!

Omg, why don't they just build a huge concrete wall? Damn I'm so ashamed, this building has no imagination or what so ever.

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't project your own problems onto this fantastic building. :nuts:

The bigger it grows, the better it gets. It will probably be one of my favourite Dutch buildings. :drool:

^^i totaly agree kiboko
:)

Because it isn't New York here, it's hard too find enough tenants and it's very expensive. Especially now in the crisis.

Nice drawing of the progress till now !
it will not take long before the hight is reached where the towers willl shift:)

really its a nice project..................

Indeed, it's 9 days per floor.

i dont know if they thought about a observationplatform in the rotterdam..that would be fantastic..the view over the city would be amazing:)

really...........its a nice project............

WoW great pictures Martin:|

How about the cinema that was planned in the rotterdam?
i hope it is still part of the plan:)

^^ I do not know about a cinema here. There is already one in New Orleans, just 100 meter away.

Awesome project. I haven't known about it before.

Are they able to continue working with the cold? so looking forward to seeing it finished!

this will be the biggest building in the netherlands (160.000 M2)
the hight is now 70m, still80 m to go:)
))Awesome project. I haven't known about it before.

Still some 8 floors t'ill the setback.

Are they able to continue working with the cold? so looking forward to seeing it finished!

They are still working on the cladding, pooring concrete is not an option at the moment.

ok.. the cladding looks surprisingly nice, so its fine ;) too bad it won't rise any further until the cold goes away though

this will be the biggest building in the netherlands (160.000 M2)

Oh! Sounds absoluteley amazing! Netherlands+Skyscrapers= I'm :happy:

Almost. Officially it is 70 meters tall now. :)

next week the temperature will be a few degrees above zero, so they will poor lots of concrete again:cheers:

Taken today, lots of ice in the port. :)

great icy pictures of de kop van zuid martin!

Poor Rotterdam. Thats so far the ugliest new project here on SSC just behind that trash tower in Benidorm.

It looks like a monoblock complex! :ohno:

^^
Moron! :ohno:

I totaly agree with you Sash, this building is the best one that's under construction rightnow:)

thanx for all the great pictures here everyone:) i hope when de rotterdam is finished it wil be enlightened in the night..that would be great

It will look like that:

I did take this photo when I visited the construction site last year.

^^It's just amazing.

A really amazing tower which would be breathtaking if it was 100m taller - but I am really afraid that it is MUCH too short to look good when finished. This thing is so insanely broad that even now, with more than 70m and almost half of the final height, it looks like a short lowrise-block. I think that it will always look somehow unfinished, like a supertall on hold.

I could perceive what you mean Malyan.. albeit its already a pretty good height for Rotterdam and in general. We'll see once its done ;)

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7194/6856982539_7fcecf5fe7_b.jpg

I really am fond of this bridge, a pure beauty...Regarding that triple tower scheme, I'm sorry guys but I don't like it at all, way too bulky, it looks like a huge wall, imo it disfigures the vicinity.

I can’t give my opinion yet. This building isn’t even finished. But from what I now see I think it’s going to be great. I’m still positive.:)

i don't think it will be bulky..the design of de rotterdam actualy exist out of 3 towers combined to eachother with a hight of 151m !

It will look bulky from most perspectives. Only if you stand right in front of the building you will see the "6 blocks".

I'm not saying bulky is bad btw, this building is gonna be awesome when finished.

It's bulky compared to the surrounding towers, but not too bulky in general. I think when it will be finished a lot of people will turn around and agree with this.

actually you have to look at the scalemodel of the building closely to know for sure ,or a render ofcourse !

cladding in detail:
http://i39.tinypic.com/2vv97c0.jpg

looks like some kind of "old school cladding family"... in spite of that the project itself is not very attractive, it would be quite fine addition to the skyline. I just hope, that it would be soon hidden by other higher and nicer skyscrapers...

... but still ... I used to say, that every skyscraper = good skyscraper :-) higher = better

I really am fond of this bridge, a pure beauty...Regarding that triple tower scheme, I'm sorry guys but I don't like it at all, way too bulky, it looks like a huge wall, imo it disfigures the vicinity.

I think we need more (bulky) towers here because the density is not big enough to create a dense skyline here.
At the moment, the gaps between the towers are too big.

The cladding in detail doesn´t look good :ohno: Phill is right, it looks kinda old school. I think Rotterdam deserves better. :dunno:
But the tower´s itself are good to fill the gap that´s true. ;)

^^I don't agree at all..i was last sunday near the buildingsite and it looked great ! when the sun is reflecting on the cladding it's different:)

Yes, maybe just a light composition makes the cladding look bad on the pic above. :dunno:
I hope so. :)

I find the cladding not as bad as some assume here, and the tower itself is nice. Just wait when it will be completed and everyone here will change their opinions.

In addition to that, there is also the reflection of another (rather dull white) tower in the glass.

interresting drawing of the progress of the building !
at fooor 26/27 the towerwill shift in different directions:)

It will look like that:

I did take this photo when I visited the construction site last year.

Rotterdam needs a building like this. Without a massive tower like De Rotterdam the skyline is not that exciting to look at. Maybe it can compete with the Warsaw skyline after De Rotterdam is finished.

I agree, Rotterdam has lots of narrow buildings and becourse of that they look higher than they actually are !
More massive towers are welcome here:)
