Key Features
Description
This exclusive penthouse apartment is situated on the tenth floor of the former laboratory building known as LAB aan de Maas in Vlaardingen. The property offers a distinctive living experience at elevation, with impressive views stretching over the water, the city, and the Rotterdam skyline. With a living area of approximately 234 square meters, this four room apartment has been designed with generous proportions and careful attention to detail throughout.
The accommodation comprises three spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from a luxurious en suite bathroom, providing a comfortable private retreat. The two remaining bedrooms share a second high quality bathroom. Both bathrooms are fitted with double washbasins, inwalk showers, and toilets, with the master bathroom additionally featuring a bathtub. A separate toilet is also available for guest use. Practical elements include a utility room and a separate storage area within the apartment.
The living space is characterized by abundant natural light and a sense of openness, achieved through large window sections and the corner position of the apartment. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together as one continuous open plan space, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior living. A notable feature is the enclosed workspace located within the living room, which provides a quiet area for working or studying at home while maintaining visual contact with the main living area. The kitchen is designed as a living kitchen with a cooking island, making it a central gathering point for daily life.
The outdoor spaces are a particular highlight of this penthouse. A wide south facing terrace extends along the full length of the apartment, accessible from both the living room and the kitchen. An additional balcony on the west side of the property offers a spot to enjoy the evening sunset. Together these outdoor areas total approximately 69 square meters, providing ample space to enjoy sunshine throughout most of the day along with the peaceful surroundings and commanding views over the Maas river and the wider landscape.
The apartment is being delivered with an A plus energy label, reflecting its efficient design and construction. The building features full insulation throughout, underfloor heating across the entire apartment, and a heat recovery installation. Hot water is provided through a central supply system. Mechanical ventilation ensures good air quality within the home. The property includes a sliding door system providing access to the outdoor terraces.
This penthouse forms part of the wider LAB development project in Vlaardingen and corresponds to building number one within the scheme. The building is served by a lift, providing convenient access to the tenth floor accommodation. The monthly service charge for the homeowners association is set at 373.24 euros, which covers the maintenance and management of the shared elements of the building. In addition to the internal storage, the property includes an external storage unit measuring approximately 6 square meters. Garage parking or a parking space is available as an option within the development.
The location within District U represents one of the most significant urban regeneration projects in the Vlaardingen area. This district, which historically formed part of the Unilever industrial complex, is being transformed into a dynamic new neighborhood that retains references to its heritage in fishing, shipping, and industry. The area is planned as a low traffic zone where green spaces are given priority. Approximately eight hundred homes are being created within the district, supported by new facilities including schools, childcare centers, shops, a medical practice, and various dining and leisure venues.
The position directly alongside the Nieuwe Maas river places residents at the heart of a vibrant waterside environment. Transport connections are excellent for a location outside the main city center. A water taxi stop is located nearby, offering connections to around fifty different landing points in and around Rotterdam. The metro station at Vlaardingen Centrum can be reached by bicycle in approximately five minutes or on foot in about ten minutes. From this station, journeys to the beach at Hoek van Holland take around twenty minutes, while travel in the opposite direction reaches the Coolsingel in central Rotterdam within the same timeframe.
The asking price for this penthouse is 1,288,485 euros, which translates to approximately 5,506 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered free of transfer costs, which is standard for new build properties in the Netherlands. Completion of the building is anticipated in 2027. Prospective buyers should note that the artist impressions shown in marketing materials are indicative only and the final specification and appearance may differ. The formal contract documentation will be binding for the final delivery.
This apartment represents an opportunity to acquire a substantial waterfront penthouse in a newly developing district with strong connections to both Vlaardingen and Rotterdam. The combination of generous internal dimensions, extensive outdoor terraces, high quality finishes, and panoramic views makes this a property suited to buyers seeking a premium residential experience in a location that balances tranquility with accessibility to urban amenities.
