Maastoren

Maastoren, A Modern Icon Of Kop Van Zuid

The Maastoren stands proudly in Rotterdam’s bustling Kop van Zuid district, reaching an impressive height of 165 meters, making it one of the tallest buildings in the Netherlands.

Designed by the architectural firm Dam & Partners, this striking skyscraper was completed in November 2009, following its construction beginning in October 2006.

Prime location and eye-catching design

Located at the intersection of Wilhelminakade and Laan op Zuid, Maastoren is hard to miss.

The building’s design is a blend of sleek modernity, with a dark gray base that gradually transitions into a silver-white upper section.

This color scheme gives the building a dynamic appearance, one that changes depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
