Design, develop, build, and own
The BaanTower is a true manifestation of our integrated way of working. It’s designed with an owner’s eye, a developer’s decisiveness, and a builder’s realism. It has been made possible through an intensive, integrated collaboration between architects Powerhouse Company, RED Company, RED Construction Bouw, and Redevco. A high-quality landmark that will contribute to a sustainable, social, and inclusive Rotterdam. A landmark we will own and operate for life.
“We believe it’s crucial that projects like The BaanTower are realized to ensure that people can live in cities at an affordable price point. We are proud to have realized this project in such a unique, central location in Rotterdam.”

Living as a service
You live. We do the rest.
On-demand services, such as a cleaner, florist or dry-cleaning service, whenever you want. So you have more time for what really matters.
Communal spaces and amenities, easily bookable via The BaanTower app.
The BaanTower offers a wide range of intelligently designed apartments, including studios, family homes, and penthouses. Residents can relax in the rooftop pool, take a stroll through the rooftop garden, make use of the gym, work from the library, or reserve the communal living room for an event. They can even book a guest apartment for friends and family. Interested in renting an apartment? Visit the property website.
A unique sustainability concept
The BaanTower is designed with an integrated sustainability concept, following the rules of Trias Energetica: reduce the overall energy demand, generate the remaining demand through sustainable sources, and (if necessary) efficiently use energy from other sources. This approach is always connected to the well-being of the residents and the surrounding area. A green roof helps combat the urban heat effect, stimulates biodiversity, and improves air quality.
The tower will be equipped with an ATES system, utilizing underground aquifers to store and retrieve thermal energy for heating and cooling purposes. PV panels provide green energy for the entire building. Next to the communal roof garden, most apartments have their own outside space. Flexible floor plans ensure The BaanTower’s longevity: apartments can be separated or combined depending on future demand.
“When you retain ownership of your own building, you design differently. Every choice regarding the tower was made with the long-term vision of having to maintain and care for it thirty years down the line.”
