Went into Rotterdam to see the most recent additions to the skyline and the construction activity the other day, and took these pics.
De Koopgoot, pedestrian shopping zone ducking underneath the Coolsingel in the distance.
WTC
Lonely pre-war building: City Hall
Looking east: "The Pencil", the cube houses, blaak transit station, late-19th century "skyscraper" Het Witte Huis, and the Willemsbridge.
Around the marketsquare, new buildings have recently been completed.
The barely completed Statendam (78m), by Kolhoff and Rap+Rap
St Laurenskerk
more construction in the distance
Mandatory cube houses shot
Blaak transit station
Recently completed:The Red Apple, by Kees Christiaanse (KCAP Architects), is 127m tall.
The new city's tallest, the Maastoren on the southern bank of the river Maas, will be 165m when completed. It is designed by Odile Decq and Dam+Partners and contains office space.
Looking at the northern bank of the Maas
I'm in love with this tower.
The southern banks has seen heavy construction in recent years, and there's no end in sight.
Near Hotel New York, at the end of the Wilhelminapier
Hotel NY, and Montevideo (152m), formerly the city's tallest.
The Wilhelminapier will continue its transformation to one of the densest areas of the Netherlands
No better way to conclude a Rotterdam thread than with a shot of Ben van Berkel's Erasmusbrigde.
