The tallest building under construction in Rotterdam

De Sax is demonstrably under construction, but the sources consulted do not establish a citywide first place. A reliable comparison needs consistent height measurements, construction stages and verification dates for every project.

Sources checked:

What has actually been confirmed?

The municipality dates the start of De Sax to 28 October 2025. BAM confirms foundation work on 14 September 2026 for Havana, a tower of approximately 180 metres. This is evidence of construction, not merely a design or permit.

Compare the same construction stage

Completed buildings, towers being built and future proposals belong in separate rankings. Check whether quoted heights include technical installations. An impressive rendering does not prove that construction has started; a construction start does not mean homes are already available.

Check before deciding

  • Check the latest construction announcement.
  • Compare heights measured on the same basis.
  • Check housing availability separately from construction status.

Official sources

Independent guidance. A project mention does not confirm availability; the original provider manages supply and terms.

Open the source for the specific location or service and record confirmed and missing information. A general mention does not establish a particular date, price or availability.

Where can I compare Rotterdam homes by energy label and construction year?

The overview displays energy labels when known. Verify construction year and supporting documents at the source; a missing label is not a poor energy rating.

Which Rotterdam homes have a lift or are on the ground floor?

Check floor level, lift and access in the original description and plan. A building lift does not guarantee step-free access to the front door.

Neighbourhood and daily journeys

Where can I find reliable neighbourhood information before a Rotterdam viewing?

Use Wijkprofiel Rotterdam for area data and note its measurement year. Add a street visit and checks of your actual daily routes.
