In July 2017, the Dutch architecture firm MVRDV won the competition for The Sax. This 51-storey mixed-use tower will be the latest addition to the development of Rotterdam’s renowned Wilhelminapier port, of which the harbour basins and quays form an important historical reference for the city’s heritage.

The Sax will be the latest addition to Rotterdam’s skyline, contributing to the city’s now recognisable 'Manhattan On the Maas.’

The building’s distinct shape consists of two interconnected towers (Philadelphia and Havana) with a total surface area of 82,000 sq. m, and will include 450 apartments, hotel, wellness centre, parking, congress and varied commercial facilities.

The Sax is conceived as one ‘iconic’ silhouette with its main layout adopted for housing distribution in towers that are about 70 - 150 m high and connected by an air bridge in which the 150-room hotel is located.

Inside the building, all main rooms are situated within the bay-windowed façade, allowing all the apartments to benefit from the maximum amount of daylight enhanced by 270-degree panoramic views of the Nieuwe Maas and city. On top of the hotel at 80 m high, there is a public terrace.

MVRDV worked together with ARUP on the structure, façade design and sustainability. Construction is set to being in 2018 and completion date by the end of 2022.
