Construction begins on the Zalmhaven tower in Rotterdam
On October 25th 2018, construction began on the Zalmhaven tower. The soon-to-be tallest skyscraper in the Netherlands.
Rotterdam's skyline will never be the same again. A 215-metre structure with nearly 60 storeys; the Zalmhaven Tower in Rotterdam will be the tallest residential tower in the Netherlands. Make that, tallest building, period. The mixed-use tower will have 256 apartments, plenty of office space as well as a restaurant and a nightclub.
The project also includes two 70-metre residential buildings (designed by KAAN Architecten) which will house 196 apartments and 33 single-family homes as well as a shared roof garden and parking facilities.
The residential tower will stand at 190 metres while a 25-metre antenna will sit on top of the building. At 215 metres, it's 30 metres higher than the Euromast which itself is a giant mast.
The project should be complete by sometime in late 2021 or early 2022.
Prices start at €360,000 for a 61m2 apartment. A 297m2 penthouse will set you back €1,850,000.
