The BaanTower

On the ground and from a distance, The BaanTower plays a pivotal role in the remodeled Baan Quarter neighborhood. On the street level it presents a rich range of experiences for inhabitants and passers-by, from the transparent, open entrance with its beautiful lobby on show, to the soaring cantilever that forms a corridor through the building with a spectacular 25m-tall gateway. On the skyline, it forms a dynamic ensemble with the new CoolTower and DWNTWN residential buildings, giving the Baan Quarter an instantly recognizable silhouette. At 159m high, in black marble with a luminous crown, it can hold its own against the surrounding high-rise development – which is framed in fabulous urban views from the Baan Tower’s huge windows.

On the ground floor, our open facade reveals a dark and smooth double-height interior. Black Nero Portoro marble floors and walls are offset by a golden ceiling painted with a cloudscape in gold leaf. Linear LED lighting adds to the golden glow. This heady mix is used for the elevator hall as well as the hotel-style lobby, which forms the welcoming entrance to the building and houses the concierge desk. Next to the lobby, the café continues the hotel-style experience, with its white marble bar and huge windows offering lively views of the street.

The BaanTower contains 427 apartments ranging from compact studios to family homes and penthouses. Uniquely for this location, all the apartments are rental. Each of the homes in our tower offers amazing views thanks to windows that measure 2.3m x 2.3m. These are framed in champagne-colored anodized aluminum, with the frames incorporating the ventilation elements. Well-organized layouts give every apartment the feel of a contemporary loft, and top-quality materials add style and luxury. Structurally, placing load-bearing columns in the facade and creating a central concrete core ensures that the building is highly flexible: in the future, the apartment layouts can be adapted, reflecting changing needs.

The BaanTower offers residents much more than just an apartment. It’s an all-round experience of life in the city, uniting a great location, just around the corner from the lively Witte de Withstraat, with onsite amenities more typical of a luxury hotel than a home. As well as enjoying the rooftop pool and terrace, residents can indulge in a yoga class in the gym, go for a sauna or take a stroll in the green rooftop park. They can book a workspace in the library, reserve the living room for a party, or a guest apartment for a visit from friends or family – all these options and more, under a single roof.
