The legendary post office on Coolsingel—one of the main roads in the center of Rotterdam—has been empty for over a decade. But the monumental building has now been given a new lease of life. The Omnam Group is redeveloping the traditional building into a new shopping center with a hotel and high-rise apartment building. The new POST tower will include a total of 305 apartments with 70 different floor plans and 43 stories. All those involved have committed to the highest quality standards. The aim of the city of Rotterdam is to revitalize the neighborhood by activating the site with residential, retail, and catering facilities. Both interior spaces will be open, for example, to the public. Rotterdam will have two majestic covered squares lined with restaurants, cafés, and shops with local character and international charm. 

Drees & Sommer supported the client with project management services, such as the contractor selection process, building permit procedures, contract management, and construction preparations.

 

The POST is one of our Wall of Fame projects. These are projects that we are particularly proud of. They have not only helped our respective clients, but also us as a company.   

Why the POST deserves a place on our Wall of Fame:

  • Historical heritage rediscovered: POST was built in 1915 and has witnessed and survived many historical events. The conversion of the building is an homage to the past and a step into its future
  • Art and culture for everyone: an event room and a gallery provide space for exhibitions, concerts, theater performances, and other events
  • Versatile use: POST is a multi-functional building that can be used for various purposes. It has offices, apartments, stores, and restaurants together under one roof 

Added Value

  • OMNAM is an international project development company. Drees & Sommer brings knowledge of the local Dutch real estate market, government regulations and legal affairs to the table to speed up the process.
