De Rotterdam sits in a prime spot, right on the “other” side of the famous Erasmus Bridge that has become a symbol of Rotterdam. Its design, in which the three 38-story towers, connected below, step away from each other in the upper half of the building, is extremely striking.The Wilhelmina Pier (Wilhelminapier) where De Rotterdam stands isn’t really a pier. It’s a spit of land that sticks out into the Maas River that divides Rotterdam. Once primarily industrial and shipping, Wilhemina Pier is being redeveloped into a working and living area. The older industrial buildings have either been repurposed for office space or replaced by more modern creations like De Rotterdam.De Rotterdam has three uses: office space, a hotel, and apartments. It is the biggest building in the Netherlands at 162,000 square meters. Some of the office space has been rented out to the Rotterdam city government, the city’s way of subsidizing the costs of building it.
