Cool to see what will be going on !!!! Great!

Most of them are residential buildings and since they only start construction when a certain amount of apartments are sold, they'll not be empty when completed. :)

Impressing list!

Rotterdam is booming!:)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/925.jpg

I am sorry but this looks like an ugly commieblock!

Hower, the rest is great and a god addition for Rotterdams skyline!:)

not bad for a 600.000 city..

some more visits from the Dutch guys would be very appreciated to keep this thread up to date :)

goschio i've never seen commieblocks with trees inside but this building is not so great shure. dutch architecture is different post-modern post-industrial à la jean nouvel ......great sometimes but everytime same designs ....enfin rotterdam have a lot of projects ...very dynamic

Check this Montevideo construction pic...

On the background you can also see the T-gebouw EUR u/c... one of the blandest looking towers ever, this is the final facade I think :puke:

All pics from dutch forums!

Construction on Coopvaert (105 m.) will start very soon! It'll be build in front of the white building next to the black tower (on the right of the pic), so the street (Blaak) will be even more impressive.

http://www.skyscrapercity.info/pix/pano.jpg

Here is another construction pic of the T-building.... the cranes are taller now.

It´s going to look like this... there are two towers going to be build like the big one, both 55 meters tall.


http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/63.jpg

I´m not sure if this one is already construction but if it isn´t it will soon. It will be build/is being built next to de Compagnie.

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/95.jpg

the Kop van Zuid area is very well developed but why in gods name are so many red bricks used here ?

I guess its turns out into a red quarter... needs more color this neighbourhood !

A real mixed bag here; Coolsingeltoren, Witte Keizer, and Scheepmakerstoren are particular favorites of mine. Queen of the south.... that's the nickname for a little town in Scotland called Dumfries (and the name of their football team)... I'm affraid I don't approved of the design though. Any hope that those white appartment blocks will be demolished or redeveloped?

Lots of people don't like the three white blocks... though there are no plans to do anything with them (yet). I don't think they're that bad though.

I don't like the impressions of QOTS either but in real life it's very nice and impressive (which I like) in my opinion.

Lots of people like Scheepmakerstoren, which I don't :)

I like the almost completed Waterstadtoren very much...

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1583.jpg

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1262.jpg

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1225.jpg

Bad news! The Coolsingeltower won't be build until 2005/2006, I've removed it from the list.

But maybe the Punttower (Pink Panther) will start construction this summer already, so that's good news.

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/674.jpg

I've also added projects for post-2004. Take a look!

Bad news then, the Coolsingeltower is one hell of a great deisgn. Whats' the status of the Corsotower? I quite like this one - very New York.... reminds me of the Carnegie Hall tower.

Corsotower has been approved, it will be build at the same time as the Coolsingeltower I think (the tower in the background on the impression is Coolsingeltower).
By the way, I showed an old impression, the color scheme has been changed, I can't find the new one though... The color has been changed from bright red to a brighter orange color.

Don't expect De Rotterdam this year either... new info says start construction end 2005.

But research shows a lot of companies in Rotterdam need more space. The city always has a strict number of offices/houses they want to build each year. So they might actually build a few big office projects earlier than scheduled. But the Coolsingeltower will be build on the space where a theatre is now, and as the theatre has presales running for projects in november 2004 it won't make space for Coolsingeltower soon...

Very impressive!

Shall I keep updating you guys or is this only irritating you? :)

that's why I don't like rotterdam's architecture. it is so cold, repetetive and unimaginative. simple boxes like that gave a bad name to highrise buildings in the 1960s and 1970s in europe. there is not one world class highrise building in rotterdam. all these buildings could stand anywhere in the world. it's not enough to bend an otherwise ugly box to make it look better. the majority of the residential towers there is nothing but a better version of the 60s and 70s highrise buildings that were built all over europe (the same that are being demolished now everywhere). where is the progress? again, bending a box is not progress.

anyway, nice update. lot's of construction. but only mediocre designs. that's the reason why in all polls about european skyscraper cities no one ever thinks to add rotterdam to the list. and that's a shame...

Hmm I agree with you a little bit, but that's generally because most of the scrapers are by dutch architects, most of them like to do things the simple way.
But actually they look nice in it's simplicity.

Or this

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/24.jpg


http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/127.jpg

But the great thing is all the skyscrapers in the city. With Brussels, London and Paris, this is the closest you can get to a real urban metropolis like New York (in Europe). Yes, no Frankfurt.

And yeah a lot of the new towers are also very standard (New Orleans, Montevideo, T-gebouw EUR, Luxortower, I'm sure they will all look great in their simplicity) but there are also some innovative (Jungerhanstower, Bijkorama, Hoog aan de Maas, Ernst and Young....)

But the best thing is that the urban experience will only get better :)

All I hope is some more towers in the 'real' centre, not Kop van Zuid.

I wouldn't complain about the 'standard' designs in Rotterdam. There are people who'd give their right arm for a basic clone skyscraper design, rather than bulky cascading masses.... just look at the blocks in manchester and leeds - it's almost as if the planners have a fear of building tall slender towers, and always opt for the safe option of a chunky midrise. More significantly, 'standard' designs are proven to produce great skylines, which is what we all want, right?

And this is a brilliant tower BTW:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/27.jpg

Seems like this project has been 'internally presented' some time ago, we haven't heard of it for a while but it seems like it's still alive! The talles tower is 250 meters tall :cheers: Hopefully the plans haven't changed too much in the meantime.

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/106.jpg

Another project... this one starting march 2005. 70 meters tall I think. I'll update the list some time.

That's bull, because R'dam is mostly placed at position 4, 5 or 6 (after Frankfurt, London, Paris and half of the times in front of Vienna and Warsawa).

And if you think the already built towers Toren op Zuid and the World Port Center etc., the U/C Montevideo and the planned Coolsingeltower, Rotterdam and Jungerhanstower are mediocore buildings, then there is something wrong with you! :tongue:

they are getting crazy in rotterdam and the worst off it are almost residential towers we are in the 21 century you got to be crazy if you want to live in such towers or just poor al those poor poeple in those towers isn't going to end good

C'mon cut the crap, everyone's oppinion is different, have some respect for it. It's their choice to live in ugly towers, so have 'em.

I've updated the lists. I've also added the latest construction pics in the opening post, so if you want to see the latest construction pic of a building you won't have to search through the pages.

I've also adde something about the clusters in Rotterdam.

This is becoming a massive topic :guns1:

Poor people?! No way!

Most residential towers in Rotterdam are built for rich people that want urban living with a nice view. The appartments are usually very big with all luxury and cost at least 250.000 (for the smallest appartments in the lower parts of the towers) and go up to more then 2 million euros (for the huge penthouses).

Scheepmakerstoren has only one appartment per floor. Each appartment has a big balcony and there's a swimmingpool and a sundeck on the roof:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1086.jpg

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/56.jpg


Montevideo will have an huge (400m2) penthouse:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/11.jpg

The scheduled starting date of construction on the Coolsingeltoren is now january 2005 :cucumber:

If they're gonna make that date then they will start demolishing the old theatre that's there now end of this year.

What about the Eurobuilding at the Jungerhans location ??

You're saying you have to be poor to life in a highrise?? :?

This is a very strange reaction, and I don't understand it, so if you can explain what you mean, I would be very thankfull.

Which building is this and where is it located in R'dam ?

http://www.skyscrapercity.info/images/buildings/433.jpg

It's Pegasus in the city of Capelle a/d Ijssel. 101 meters I think. It's not really part of the skyline but it looks pretty big coming from the A 20.

The status about the Jungerhanstower is a bit unstable btw, not sure if it'll still come.

And I've mentioned this project a while ago, seems like there's going to come a ~150 m. tall residential tower there, more info coming soon. (Hofpleintower)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1085.jpg

Is it just an tought or am I wrong about the construction of the "Witte Keizer" : slow , oh so slow ...

Yeah it's going slow... construction started february 2003.. and it's slowly coming above the ground... compare it to Ernst and Young which was started.. july? august? 2003 and is already topped out...

It is a nice location though :)

http://static.capsi.com/img/photography/2004-03-20-adamrdam/800x600/dscf0005.jpg

Anyway some interest in the city will give me joy :) pretty dead here. I'm very happy about the level of construction in Rotterdam atm, pretty much like the 'second resurrection'. It'd be very different 10 years in the future.

In the downtime of SSC the construction continued offcourse :)

The New Orleans and Havana project is going to be build in 5 towers instead of 4, but that also means the towers will probably be build less tall :wallbash:

The Sohotower (70 m.) will also be build:

With your car in front of the door ;)

So, what do you think?

Great job dude. That maquette of De Rotterdam looks massive and pretty good , though I don't see the point of reconstructing that buliding at Blaak , it looks good anyway for that part of the city. Montevideo is rising pretty fast now , it should be in the same line with WPC by December if not even taller. So far things are going good for Rotterdam , lot's of construction , current , at many more will be off as well by the end of the year. The main thing however , what Rotterdam really needs fast at this point to improve it's skyline and make it better and bigger is to bulid 180m + buliding. Luxortoren is the answer , however , something is very wrong about this project , every time when the construction needs to start it gets delayed for no reason , if they don't start buliding it by the end of the year , u can rest assure that it will never be built. That's the sad part. The city center needs something glassy and big , not bricks and boxes. Indeed some projects are going so slow but at the same time some are going super fast !? What's the point? Anyway great update and keep it on.

Yeah, one big tower is very welcom in the citycenter...

De compagnie... it's only 55 meters but it's as depressing as hell... this ugly color brown and the color of the roofs... disgusting.

The problem is they're letting Dutch architectures do the whole thing , wrong, The city needs something new and glassy and tall , someone tell them that.

I think it's just not profitable enough to build a tall tower. And the companies have like 40 buildings (for such a small country) throughout the country instead of 1 or 2 big offices. They even have multiple offices in one city.

From streetlevel Rotterdam is looking better and better but they have to look out the skyline isn't going to look extremely dull from distance.

Still I don't think that will happen... this is how skyline Rotterdam will look if all projects go according to plan...

I love Rotterdam, but there are not enough skyscrapers. But Rotterdam is booming up!!!!!!!!

ya got that right spanky it's booming

The Sohotower (70 m.) will also be build:

http://home.filternet.nl/~fn009072/domuslokatie.jpg


You have to help me out here:
-wasn't there a proposal of the same building with a reflecting pool above the entrance ?
-the location is this on the Blaakhaven project site or is this across the street ? > and is there room to built this ?

Next saturday I'll be in Rotterdam and I want to check the site by myself

Yeah, there was an older proposal but it has been renewed (to this).

The location is situated at the city centre side of the Willemsbrug (it's practically next to it's exit), at the western side. It's called Verlengde Willemsbrug I believe...

One thing I'm really missing is what ever happened with Havana I&II and New Orleans I&II... a while ago things looked pretty good for those projects, and now they're gone? I can't really understand this, who wanted those great buildings not to be built? What good is in not building these beauties? The one who's responsible for that is a real criminal!

They're just going to be redeveloped.

Good news, there will be 5 instead of 4 towers
Bad news, the towers will be less tall.

I'm not happy about it either because the only really interesting thing about the designs was the height...

http://skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings.01/1826.jpg


In that photo above, what is that structure that wraps around the photo? Looks cool!

Will that be a car evelvador? :eek:

It's just a metro line lol :)

And yes that tower is supposed to get a car elevator

Another tower starting this year... october 2004. Oosterbaken in the 'suburb' Hoogvliet.

Oosterbaken shouldn't be built in Hoogvliet imo , it would have been a nice building in the downtown R'dam area.

For example across the Dykzigt MC where ground is available but where nothing is built in last 20 years.Odd really...

Great thread! Really interesting to see how all these projects develop. Some of the planned/under construction skyscrapers do look boring, but many also have creative architecture..

I think if The New Orleans, The Rotterdam, Montevideo,etc.. all will be finished Rotterdam will have a great skyline. It could get to numer four in europe, after Frankfurt Londen and Paris. Of course they haven't even begun with building New Orleans.

Rdam just needs somthing tall... enough midrises! Okay... Montevideo (140 m.) is u/c, Coolsingeltoren is coming up (187 m.)... maybe Corsotower (150 m.) will follow... Hofpleintower is also coming (158 m.) and in a few years 2 x 150 m. New Orleans...

So the new trend will be building 150 m. towers? Just build something tall Rotterdam!!!

Like the Maastower... (225 meter... although there is also a 130 m. variant :()

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

It's not really alive... but who knows.

Allright I've been on holiday a week in Catalonia (Spain) hence the lack of updates.... not really much going on anyway.

Ernst&Young isn't going very good imo.
The concrete structure is like this for weeks ...

The picture of this project however is one of the best I've seen => dense :eek:

New Orleans and Havanna projects stills looks pretty good! Oostplein tower looks amazing , finnaly something with glass ,Montevideo is going pretty fast , by the end of the year it will be taller than WPC , but still looks kinda weird with those dark red and black bricks , but anyway it will change the skyline for sure.
Ernst n young pic looks so tight

Kind of construction madness in Rotterdam now :)

How is the status of the "eurobuilding" ?

It's not that active... I can remember the scheduled construction start is beginning 2005 but I don't know if that's still true.

Two weeks ago I finally went to Rotterdam for the first time in about five years and I was utterly surprised by the vibrant feeling that you get when entering Rotterdam from the Central Station. As an Ajax supporter I am not really to say this, but Rotterdam is cool. The city is alive and the skyscrapers surely are very impressive! And especially that Montevideo will be stunning. So go Rotterdam!!

.....There are rumours of a possible 120 meter tower coming up ......

Where ?
On the same location or across the street where a vacant terrains waits to be used for more than 15 years ?

On the current location... I don't think that terrain will be used for the expansion of the hospital. Not sure what they're going to do with that terrain.

Rotterdam is skyrocketing, like a European Bangkok.

Rotterdam has great projects, but i think many forumers don't know the projects. That's very sad. Rotterdam has over a couple of years one of the best skylines in Europe. As example, Warsaw hasn't many projects on this moment.

Warsaw has a lot of projects going on Vinman ;). And Rotterdam has a lot of things u/c but as on the moment it still is an ugly city. A pleasant one though.

They have to build this now!

They even integrated the Pauluskerk into the project !
Shall it be a replacement of the existing HolidayInn hotel or totally residential ?
Looks very good from the Schouwburgplein !

Thanx Super_sniper! Montevideo is getting tall :eek:

you shouls put more effort in designing these things - imo most are commieblocks :( some are ok... sorry but i dont like them! :(

Ch1le, about which ones are you talking in general?

Because Montevideo is a great project in it's type (I don't really like the type, but that's personal), De Coopvaert is just a nice retro block, just a bit standard, Scheepsmakerstoren is again a great tower in it's type (which I don't like either), Ernst and Young looks a bit too normal at the moment, but the round part (which is big, look at the picture above) is going to be filled with greenish glass, depending on the glass this one can become real good. T-gebouw EUR is pretty ugly yes but they are going to do something special with the sides, might save the project. Witte Keizer is again a standard design, I like it though.

Compagnie is just a big block of brown brick, adds a lot of volume to the already impressive area, so it's a big improvement if you like urbanity. Scheepsvaart en Transport college might look like a standard block it the moment, but just look at what they're going to do!

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/57.jpg

I agree with you on VOPAK though, what a horrible design.

You must know almost all towers in Rotterdam are residential, which are a bit more standard than office tower in general. I like the upcoming towers a lot more by the way, like the Coolsingeltower, Corsotower, De Rotterdam, Pschorr, Punttower etc.

Bad news btw, Jungerhanstower is probably canceled.

The Kop van Zuid area is becoming one huge ugly red & brown brick quarter.
For a city with lots of ideas about architecture , this is a very big minus imo

What?

Brick is so beautiful. Just look at all this Kollhoof towers. My favorite kind of architecture! :)

IMO Rotterdam builds too many commieblock like highrises. They may look good when they are finished but in a few years its like moscow suburbs.

The city needs more Milleniumtower like buildings. Thats one of the best in Europer. A design which will be nice even in hundred years.

De Snor is probably talking about the Laan op Zuid...

Head Office will be constructed in 2005 :)

Goschio, Rotterdam has two Koolhof buildings u/c (one on the pic above, the other is Pricewaterhousecoopers, see first page) and another one coming up (Corsotower) :yes:

I really agree with you about the Milenniumtower, that indeed is a simple yet striking design

http://www.skylinerotterdam.info/skyline/fotos/sk_0079.jpg

The Dutch are very negative about Kollhoff, i love him though, i've seen new pictures of the 2 ministries in The Hague, beau-ti-ful!!!

Wouw! Montevideo is the absolut coolest building right now :)

Check out these fantastic pictures (more pics on the bottom of first page and on the second page)

I totally agree with you.

Some company is buying this building and will make a, much larger, new building on it's place. Probably a tower :cheers:

Monty is exploding!!!

Is it just me ... but there has never been so much activity in R'dam :eek:

Overall it's very active now, but it has been way more active around Weena around 1990

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/database/buildings/110.jpg

I think maybe Rotterdam is building too many things which just don't have the magic. Don't you guys think that it would be better to build just one beautiful, innovating (and high) building each 5 years, than let's say 10 uninspired concrete blocks with brick-strips?
I think the Coolsingel tower will be such a nice tower, why doesn't Rotterdam just wait with all this ugly prefab semi-highrising projects and build a nice high tower like Coolsingel tower, Maastower or Pschorr every once in a while?

Who are you blaming? You can say what you want but the city rather likes the Coolsingeltower to be build today than tomorrow. The towers that are build now aren't ugly at all I think. Just wait until they are finished, I guess they'll all look good (even T-gebouw EUR with glass sides)

hmmm SOME of the towers are nice, but most of them are just not interesting or even ugly. Why does everything in Rotterdam has to look "modern" / dutchy-architecture, cause it sucks a LOT! :(

only Coopvaert, Scheepsmaker, Coolsingeltoren and Waterstadtoren are nice

Skyrise, Dutch modern architecture, in general, is not bad. Maybe some of the towers look "boring", but they are an example of a typical style not seen often in other parts of Europe, and this makes it special. I've seen recently a program about Rotterdam on French TV. The city was presented like a "good pattern to copy". So I think it's going okay with R'dam ;)

Die corsotower ziet er in ieder geval heel leuk uit!

But all of this building have been developed in an economic recession. But now the economy in Holland is now getting a bit better. And I think the booming have just begon.:)

Euh , isn't there missing something here ?
There seems to be something floating in the air :?

Coopvaert looks interesting. What's the cladding material going to be? It'd look particularly good with a stone facade.

I don't know Xapbpohm which materials they are going to use.

By the way some new pictures..

The tower on the Wijnhavenpunt (Pink Panther) will be 128 meters instead of 120 :cheers:

KPN Botersloot should be built in Disneyland
What a disgusting renovation , is this how R'Dam promotes itself as a city of new architecture...on the other side of the Maas the "Compagnie" has exactly tasteless design :no:

And not to forget the Pricewaterhousecoopers building near the Brienenoordbridge.

My God, is it just me or Rotterdam is really booming? Well, at least from these images... :eek:

http://img88.exs.cx/img88/139/P9200421.jpg

This area of Rotterdam will be my favorite when de Punttower and the Scheepmakerstower are ready. Nice towers with different heights. And all of them are great designs imo.

yes, but rotterdam is booming now with new beautiful towers. that PWC is f*****g ugly.... first for that place, there was a very nice design...... *zucht*
