That's for sure.

This brick piece of art will be preserved and integrated in the new tower.

Nice tower! It reminds me of a better looking De Rotterdam.

Eric Offereins · October 29th, 2012, 01:09 AM

Glad you like it. it sure has some of the massive volume that de Rotterdam has.
btw, official start of construction is 17 december.

Somewhere between demolition and preparation, a lot of digging and retaining walls being hammered into the ground:

Thanks Marin. Now this piece of art has been removed, the last remaining part of the buidling can be demolished.

ThatOneGuy · November 30th, 2012, 01:27 AM

Anybody know what the demolished structure was used for?

Eric Offereins · November 30th, 2012, 01:37 PM

15 december, all equipment needed for the start tomorrow is on site.

Eric Offereins · December 19th, 2012, 01:45 PM

U/C !

Last monday there was a celebration to mark the start of construction.

City oficial Hamit Karakus gave the start signal for the construction of FIRST Rotterdam. This mixed use tower will be an eyevather of the Rotterdam Central District. Construction will be done by VolkerWessels subsidiaries Boele & van Eesteren and Wessels Zeist. FIRST Rotterdam CV is the developer (combination of Maarsen Groep from Amsterdam and MAB Development from the Hague). Total project costs are roughly 80 million euro.

Finally, let's put his neighbour in the shadow.

Eric Offereins · December 27th, 2012, 06:46 PM

27 december; after doing 1 or 2 piles as official start, they are now back in the process of digging and removing last parts of the old foundation. Status PREP for now.

Kiboko · December 30th, 2012, 10:56 AM

Why do they preserve that brick art facade? Perhaps they could locate is somewhere in a park, instead of incorporate it into the new building.
