| Multi Vastgoed develops shopping area in heart of Rotterdam Multi Vastgoed, a subsidiary of Multi Corporation, is developing a second "Koopgoot" (lowered shopping mall) in Rotterdam in collaboration with ABN AMRO. It will be the biggest inner-city (re)development project in the Netherlands. The estimated investment value is € 300 million. The design has been produced by T+T Design, Multi's in-house design office. It will be a lively semi-covered area, comparable with the extensive Sony Centre in Berlin, for example. Top architect Rem Koolhaas from O.M.A. was brought in to give shape to these plans and they will now be developed further through collaboration with T+T Design. The ABN AMRO tower on the Van Oldebarneveltplaats and the former Jungerhanspremises on the Binnenwegplein will be demolished. The monumental low-rise building of ABN AMRO on the Coolsingel will be fully integrated in the new plan. In order to be able to realise the plans, Multi Vastgoed has already taken over ownership of the Jungerhanspand and Multi Vastgoed will be acquiring the ABN AMRO buildings on the Coolsingel/Van Oldebarneveltplaats. The second Koopgoot will provide a shopping area covering approximately 20,000 m². The plans include at least two towers along with the monumental ABN AMRO office, which will provide 45,000 m² of living, work and leisure space. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
