The Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam has two new residential towers; Boston & Seattle. The residential towers, both 70 meters tall, have a remarkable appearance, and all 250 apartments have a magnificent view over the Rijnharbour.
Except for apartments, the buildings have 1.500m2 available on the ground floor for retail and horeca. Above the 1st floor there are 4 split-level parking layers, providing the residents with their own parking space and underneath the buildings is a public parking of 2 levels. On top of the 5th floor, between the two towers, the residents can enjoy the benefits of a roof garden, covered with sedum, moss and herbs.
The residential towers are the first in the Netherlands to receive 3 sustainability certificates.

The project was designed in BIM.

Boompjes Rotterdam

The project, situated along de Boompjes in Rotterdam, together with other high-rise projects, determines the view on the northern bank of the Maas river. The substructure houses offices and shops. The three residential towers have been constructed on top of the substructure with transistional structures. The towers were constructed with a specially designed tunnel formwork. The exterior (prefab concrete with off-white Norwegian marmor) was applied shortly after the shell was completed, which ensured a short construction period.

This structure consist of box girders poured in situ supported by V-shaped colums.
