History

edit

The design for the building was created by ZZDP Architechen of Amsterdam.[7] The company OVG began work on its construction in 2007.[3] Buildings previously on the site were demolished. Because of its location near a busy highway, extra-thick glass was used.[8]

The building was completed in August, 2010,[6] ready for its main tenant Deloitte.

In 2011 Kuwait Petroleum established an office in the building.[9]

In 2014 an art installation "Prima Ballerina" was installed on the facade of the building.[10]

In 2015 the ICT company Cerner Benelux has offices in the building.[11]
