This is the Delftse Poort, the tallest building in Rotterdam and in the Netherlands. The second tower (it's a sort of twintower) is 93 meters tall. The tower consist a total floorspace of 106.000 m2! The tower costed 182 million Euro, and over a 2000 people can work in it!
Sometimes there are big pictures on the facade, on one of the pictures below you can see a picture of a Dutch soccer-player (Edgar Davids), which was on the building during the Eurpean soccer Championschip in 2000. Rotterdam was the city of the final.
The building is very good attainable. An underground-line goes between the two towers (under the ground), with it's station beside the tower. Also the trains, trams and busses have their (main)-stop beside the builing. And on the first floors there is a parking for 1200 cars. This building will stay the tallest in Holland the next few years, but a lot of proposals are still much taller, most of them in Rotterdam.
