The Codrico factory, a site of cultural heritage and a national listed monument, is a significant marker within the Rotterdam harbor. Through relocating the factory’s industrial activities, the site at Katendrecht will be unlocked for redevelopment. With space for approximately 1,500 new rental and owner-occupied homes, including no less than 50% homes in the affordable segment, the Codrico Terrain will be accessible to all residents of Rotterdam. A bustling place with offices, shops, restaurants and cultural functions in the plinths. The mixed-use development covers a total of 190,000 m², including a magnificent iconic public building in the water of the Rijnhaven.

This unique collection of buildings will finally close the pedestrian loop along the quay of the Rijnhaven harbor, a long-standing desire for the municipality of Rotterdam. By closing this loop around the harbor basin, Rotterdam residents will be able to enjoy a multitude of settings– from the new and cosmopolitan Kop van Zuid, the quaint and historic harbor quarter of Katendrecht, to the floating esplanades and the soon to be developed city park.

The redevelopment of the Codrico Terrain in combination with the Maritime Center completes the encompassing vision of the Rijnhaven where different atmospheres, scales and the maritime seamlessly come together. It is a large step towards a complete development: the Rijnhaven as a new Rotterdam city center for the 21st century.
