As you might know, the constructors are working on the low rise (back) side of the building and high rise (front) side of the building simultaneously (please find detailed information on the construction). The special ceramic façade is now going up at the low rise side of the building and this should be wind and water tight this week.
Highest point
As soon as this is the case, Van Wijnen will start installing the timber frame construction (TFC) façade elements on the high rise part of the building. It is expected that the building will top out in March 2026. Of course, reaching the highest point is something we will celebrate!
