Zalmhaven Tower Rotterdam

The tallest building in the Benelux

Presently, the 165 metre-tall Maas Tower in Rotterdam is the tallest building in the Netherlands, but in 2020 it will be superseded by the impressive Zalmhaven Tower. On top of this 190 metre tall residential tower there will be a 25-metre mast, creating a total height of 215 metres! Most skyscrapers can be found on Wilhelmina Pier in Rotterdam, but the impressive Zalmhaven Tower is located at the historic Veerhaven area, close to the city centre bank of the river Maas and the Erasmus bridge.

The construction starts end 2017 and the completion will be by the end of 2020. The Zalmhaven Tower contains 260 luxury apartments.

Panorama terrace Zalmhaven Tower

As a visitor you have access to a panorama platform at a dazzling height of 185 meters with a fantastic view over the city of Rotterdam.

As a tourist attraction in Rotterdam, the Zalmhaven Tower will be a tough competitor for the Euromast panorma tower!
