Rotterdam Central District is the place where living, working, shopping, nightlife, sports, and relaxation converge. The Modernist combines all of this in a single concept, providing space for over four hundred apartments, 12,750 m² of office space, and a mix of restaurants, workouts, and retail in the ground floor.

The top of the South Tower will house 88 owner-occupied apartments, while the 333 rental apartments will be distributed across the South and North Towers. There’s tranquility in the pleasant courtyard, space for cars and bicycles in the next door parking garage, and a vibrant atmosphere at street level, where there’s room for high-quality, inviting restaurants and shops. This level also houses the separate entrances to two residential towers, both of which are equipped with a MyPup Pick-Up Point for parcels.

Architecture

Rotterdam Central District is the scene of modernist reconstruction architecture: powerful, clear, and sleek. This context calls for a distinctive and timeless design for a building that builds on that tradition. Architect Jacob van Rijs (MVRDV) explains how The Modernist was developed as a 21st-century response to the distinctive architecture of the 1950s and 1960s.
