Urban residential development in Rotterdam has focused on both new sustainable construction and the adaptive reuse of historical structures.

One project, the Berninitoren in the Prinsenland district, involves the planned construction of a sustainable residential tower featuring 72 apartments. The design incorporates photovoltaic panels into the facades to distribute energy production and reduce electrical grid peak loads.

In a separate development, a monumental office building on the Westersingel has been transformed into a residential complex. This restoration project converted the former municipal monument into 19 sustainable homes while preserving original architectural details, such as its central spiral staircase.
