Koolhaas building cancelled

Plans to construct a 93-metre high building by top architect Rem Koolhaas in front of The Hague’s central station were cancelled on Friday afternoon.


The €300 mln building would have consisted of three towers linked on the top floors and housing shops, houses and offices. It became known as the M from Koolhaas because of its shape.
Councillor Marnix Norder told NRC there were too many uncertainties around project developer Eurocommerce and that the company was making too many demands. In addition, the forecast for the office accommodation market is sombre, he said.
