Description
Architect: Groosman and Partners

Design WTC: Rob van Erk
Design Beurs: J.F. Staal

- The Beurs was built between 1925 and 1940. Between 1983 and 1986 the WTC was built on top of the Beurs.

- In 1973, a floor was added to the Beurs (Design: A. Staal). The Beurs was renovated between 2001 and 2005 by Mecanoo.

- The WTC proved to be the starting signal for a deluge of high rises in the centre during the 1980s and '90s.
