Rotterdam - Wilhelminapier (Under Construction till 2012)
Its an old dock form a harbour. The Wilhelminapier is named after the old Queen Wilhelmina.
There are a few old buildings left. Like the old Holland Amerika Line building. Now its called Hotel New York its standing on the head of the dock.
The Wilhelminapier is a part of the City center the ErasmusBridge/Metro/Tram/Watertaxi's connects it together.

Its a very high quality zone with appartments, offices, hotels, cinema's/theatres, shops, many (world)restaurants etc etc.
It takes years and years to study to present this unique masterpiece in the center of Rotterdam at the Maas(Meuse).

It's good to see some Rotterdam projects making it to SSP. Previously, we had to go to SSC to get our Rotterdam fix.

Good !
I like the vertical lines of New Orleans. It's not really avant garde, but it's nice.

That's a hell of a development. All the towers look great except the New Orleans, I'm not too keen on that one. It looks like a stock condo out of san diego.

hahaha :haha:

I thought there was going to be some explanation made on this, but seeing as nothing is being said, I gotta ask... ummm.. why are these buildings being named after American cities?
