The Waterkant

The Waterkant was developed following the decision to put the construction of a new stadium in the Feyenoord City on hold. In collaboration with EFFEKT and LOLA, OMA has taken the opportunity to explore a new urban planning approach for a high-density neighbourhood. Located on the Nieuwe Maas riverbank – next to the newly planned bridge and facing a future tidal park with recreational water park – the Waterkant will be a new urban center integrated with its surroundings both architecturally and socially. Public space, landscape features, and buildings will create a place with a unique character – a waterfront attraction for the residents and visitors from Rotterdam and beyond.
