Powerhouse Company has drawn up a masterplan that will transform the site of the Codrico Factory in the Rotterdam Rijnhaven. With its industrial history, the Codrico Factory and its remarkable ‘green cube,’ is a much-loved part of the Rijnhaven. The factory forms the heart of the plans for the Codrico Terrain. Powerhouse Company has created a unique masterplan with an ensemble of new and existing buildings that both celebrates its industrial heritage and embraces the future. An iconic, publicly accessible building will be built in the water in front of the factory and the new city park. 

Through relocating the factory’s industrial activities of The Codrico factory, a site of national heritage and a listed monument, the site at Katendrecht will be unlocked for redevelopment. With space for approximately 1,500 new rental and owner-occupied homes, including 50% homes in the affordable segment, the Codrico Terrain will be accessible to all residents of Rotterdam. A bustling place with offices, shops, restaurants and cultural functions in the plinths, the mixed-use development covers a total of 190.000 m2, including a magnificent iconic public building in the water of the Rijnhaven.

The Codrico Terrain will be an iconic ensemble containing a tower, a building on the quay, a striking building on the field next to the factory, and the monumental factory itself. The quays will be activated with floating parks on both the Wilhelminapier side and the Codrico Terrain side. The Rijnhaven Bridge will complete the pedestrian loop around the harbor, allowing Rotterdammers to stroll along all quays of the Rijnhaven. Source by Powerhouse Company.
