On Monday, November 27, the ground-breaking ceremony marked the start of construction for The BaanTower in Rotterdam. The tower will house 427 rental apartments, with 30% falling within the affordable housing segment. The development is a collaboration between the Rotterdam-based developer RED Company and Redevco, one of the largest private urban real estate companies. The ground-breaking was celebrated alongside Alderman Chantal Zeegers (Climate, Construction, and Housing).
The BaanTower, a striking 159-meter-high tower, will rise in the heart of the dynamic Baankwartier in Rotterdam. Developed by RED Company and designed by Powerhouse Company, it is set to become one of the city's most sustainable residential towers. Featuring a lush green rooftop terrace, the design contributes to the local biodiversity. An extensive range of intelligently designed apartments, including studios, family homes, and penthouses, will be complemented by unique amenities. Residents of The BaanTower can enjoy relaxing on the rooftop terrace with a pool, strolling through the rooftop garden, utilizing the fitness facility, working in the library, or organizing events in the communal living room. Additionally, residents have the option to reserve a guest apartment for friends and family.
