In recent years, we have experienced how digitalization has rapidly become a commonplace for hybrid studying and working. The working target group of the future, the Millennials and Generation Z, have adopted this hybrid lifestyle at lightning speed. These “nomadic workers” are constantly on the move, both on and offline, at home and at work.

This development calls for an entirely new interpretation of office concepts. The office of the future as a meeting place that stimulates social interaction and creativity. Ballast Nedam Development and Compass Group have joined forces to achieve this. Rotterdam Building is furnished with a wonderful Food & Beverage concept, Club Nomad. The result: an open community where people can work, study, meet and relax all day long.

Compass will also provide the full hospitality service including reception services in Rotterdam Building.

De afgelopen jaren hebben we ervaren hoe digitalisering in een sneltreinvaart een gemeengoed is geworden voor het hybride studeren en werken. De werkende doelgroep van de toekomst, de Millennials en Generation Z, hebben deze hybride levensstijl razendsnel geadopteerd. Deze “nomadische werkers” zijn constant on the move, zowel on- als offline, thuis en op het werk.

Deze ontwikkeling vraagt om een geheel nieuwe invulling van kantoorconcepten. Het kantoor van de toekomst als een ontmoetingsplek die sociale interactie en creativiteit stimuleert. Ballast Nedam Development en Compass Group hebben hiervoor de handen ineengeslagen. Rotterdam Building is ingericht met een prachtig Food & Beverage concept, Club Nomad. Het resultaat: een open community waar mensen de hele dag kunnen (samen)werken, studeren, afspreken en relaxen.

Compass zal ook de volledige hospitality-service inclusief receptieservice in Rotterdam Building gaan verzorgen.

Rotterdam Building is a landmark office building designed in the 1970s by the architect Kraaijvanger. The building has undergone a complete sustainable metamorphosis into a flexible and versatile co-working and office space. The 14-story building has an area of 22,000 m² and a large indoor parking garage. The renovated office building includes Club Nomad, event spaces, meeting center, large terraces and balconies. These spaces, where hospitality is extra important, is the design of renowned American firm Gensler. Rotterdam Building is located in the connection between Coolsingel and Lijnbaan in the heart of Rotterdam. The location is dynamic, lively and buzzing with energy.

Ballast Nedam Development, the developer of Rotterdam Building, opened the new headquarters in its own Rotterdam Building in January 2023. It is an example of a new generation of buildings with social significance for the city and gives an entirely new interpretation of office concepts. The building has space available for medium-sized corporates, scale-ups, start-ups, co-working and flexible memberships for individual workspaces.
