Incorporating 47 stories, the tower will be home to 145 spacious apartments of varying sizes, alongside two penthouses, located at the top of the tower.
The apartments will all house stunning views of Rotterdam’s city and skyline, at whch larger sized apartments will also house a private outside area.
