The tower was built on Weena in front of the Central station. It is mixed use, the first 15 floors belong to the Rotterdam Marriott Hotel, including 2 restaurant, the other floor are being used as offices.

Construction

The tower was originally designed to be built with hollow-core slabs, but close to building start the design was changed to incorporate the Voided biaxial slab, BubbleDeck system. This was the first time this new method was in use in the Netherlands, and also the first major project worldwide to incorporate this technique. In spite of the late design change, the project was finished before time, due to a reduction in the erection cycles from 10 to 4 days per level, and a reduction in crane lift by app 50 percent. When finished, Millennium Tower was the second tallest building in the Netherlands.
