AM and Heijmans commence construction of Atlas 1 in Rotterdam's Tij
The Rotterdams Tij development consortium (a collaboration between area developer AM and Heijmans) is starting work today on the construction of 135 homes in the Atlas 1 building. Following on from the jointly constructed Imagine residential building, this is the second project within the Rotterdams Tij area development in Rotterdam South. Alderman Chantal Zeegers of the municipality of Rotterdam will give the official go-ahead for construction.
Atlas 1: a diverse range of housing for everyone
Atlas will be realised in three construction phases, each with its own character and target group. The various sub-plans, including studios for young people, various types of apartments and townhouses on Vredesplein, provide a varied range of housing options to suit a wide range of housing needs. The first phase (Atlas 1) comprises 80 social housing units, 30 lifetime homes of various sizes and 25 studio flats for sale. The prices of the owner-occupied homes are in the affordable segment.
Sustainability and mobility
Atlas is being developed with a strong focus on sustainability. The project uses energy-efficient installations and green roofs for water collection and biodiversity. The green roof collects rainwater and provides living space for plants and animals, while also contributing to a pleasant (indoor) climate. In addition, there are good public transport connections and the various public bicycle parking facilities are easily accessible.
