Sky Loft Penthouse with Panoramic Rotterdam Skyline and Maas Views
Key Features
Description
This exceptional sky loft penthouse is located in the Piekstraat building on the Feijenoord island in Rotterdam, offering a distinctive living experience approximately 70 meters above street level. The property spans two full floors, with the living spaces positioned on the 21st and 22nd floors of this residential tower, providing residents with sweeping panoramic views over the city and the Maas river.
The total living area encompasses 216 square meters across two connected levels, creating a sense of volume and spatial generosity that distinguishes this property from conventional apartments. A prominent glass facade runs along the connection between the two floors, flooding the interior with natural light throughout the day. Whether you are cooking in the kitchen, relaxing in the living area, or opening the curtains in the bedroom, the expansive windows deliver a dramatic visual experience with the cityscape and river visible from virtually every vantage point.
The floor plan includes five rooms total, configured as four bedrooms and two bathrooms. This arrangement allows for flexible use of the space, whether as a family home or as a residence with dedicated work areas. The listing indicates the possibility of adjusting the bedroom count to two or three depending on individual requirements. Each bedroom has been designed to take advantage of the elevated position, offering residents views that extend across the Rotterdam skyline to the north and the winding Maas river to the south.
The bathrooms have been fitted with double sinks, walk-in showers, and soaking baths, providing practical and comfortable amenities for daily routines. Two separate toilet facilities are included, enhancing the functionality of the living space for multiple occupants.
The double-height void created near the staircase introduces an architectural element that enhances the sense of openness and spatial drama. This feature creates visual connection between the two levels and offers interesting possibilities for interior design. The 20 square meter balcony, accessible through sliding glass doors, extends the living space outdoors and provides an uninterrupted platform from which to enjoy the views. The southern exposure allows for prolonged sunlight during afternoon and evening hours.
Construction of the building was completed in 2025, classifying this as a new property with modern infrastructure throughout. The residence has been awarded an A++ energy label, reflecting excellent thermal performance and minimal energy consumption. The sustainability features include triple-glazed windows, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and full underfloor heating and cooling systems. A smart thermostat integrates with these systems to optimize energy usage based on occupancy patterns and preferred temperature settings.
Renewable energy is generated through solar panels installed on the building roof, contributing to the communal energy supply. The development encourages sustainable mobility through provisions for electric vehicle charging in the parking garage, with capacity for fully electric car use. Car-sharing vehicles are available in the building plinth and can be reserved through a dedicated application. Bicycle storage facilities provide space for over 600 bicycles, supporting cycling as a primary mode of transport.
The location on the Feijenoord island places the property along the riverfront while maintaining reasonable proximity to central Rotterdam. The city center and main train station are reachable within approximately ten minutes by bicycle. Public transportation connections are available nearby, including metro and train services that serve the broader metropolitan area.
The Feijenoord district is undergoing substantial transformation as part of broader urban development initiatives. Plans include the construction of approximately 800 additional residential units to the west of the Piekstraat building. The Feyenoord City project, situated within walking distance, will introduce new towers, retail establishments, dining options, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and cinema venues. Public green spaces and a riverside promenade are incorporated into these plans, enhancing the residential environment. Transportation infrastructure improvements are also being considered, with studies examining potential new connections between Kralingen and Feijenoord via road and metro links.
The building contains 142 residential units in total, establishing a vertical community in this riverside location. The outdoor areas associated with the property include the 20 square meter balcony and access to a roof terrace, both offering views across the water and city. The surrounding area combines industrial heritage with ongoing residential development, creating a distinctive urban character.
Two parking spaces are available for purchase separately at a price of 29,500 euros each, providing options for residents who require private vehicle storage. The parking infrastructure has been designed to accommodate electric vehicles, supporting the transition to sustainable transportation.
This sky loft represents a residential proposition that emphasizes spatial volume, visual connection to the surrounding cityscape and river, and integration of sustainable technologies. The two-level layout, high floor positioning, and extensive glazing create an environment where the boundary between interior living space and urban panorama remains deliberately fluid, offering a living experience that differs significantly from conventional apartment configurations in the city.

Remarkable Sea View
The listing mentions views of the Maas river ('Aan Oost- en Zuidzijde ongelimiteerd uitzicht op de Maas'), but the Maas is a river, not the sea. The sea is not specifically mentioned.

Remarkable Landmark View
The listing mentions 'alsof je de toppen van al die Rotterdamse iconen bijna kunt aanraken' (as if you can almost touch the tops of all those Rotterdam icons). This suggests views of city landmarks like the Euromast and other towers.
Interior Comfort
Central Heating
The listing explicitly states 'Gehele vloerverwarming' (complete floor heating) under the Energie section. This is supplemented by a warmte terugwininstallatie (heat recovery installation), and the description mentions the system creates optimal indoor climate.
Fireplace
No fireplace is mentioned in the listing. The property emphasizes modern, energy-efficient heating through floor heating and cooling systems. A fireplace would be inconsistent with the energy-efficient and contemporary design philosophy.
Underfloor Heating

Private Indoor Pool
No pool is mentioned in the listing. The property is a residential penthouse with focus on living space, bedrooms, and the spectacular views. A private pool would be extremely unusual for this type of urban apartment.
Private Indoor Sauna
No sauna is mentioned. The listing mentions bathrooms with double sinks, walk-in showers, and bathtubs, but no spa facilities like a sauna are included.
Ornamental Plasterwork
No ornamental plasterwork is mentioned. The property is a modern new construction with contemporary finishes. The architectural focus is on the glass facade, double-height spaces, and the spectacular views rather than decorative traditional elements.
Interior Style
Scandinavian
No specific mention of Nordic or Scandinavian design elements in the listing. While the property is modern, it does not emphasize the characteristic clean lines, light woods, or minimalist aesthetic associated with Scandinavian style.
Modern
This is a brand new 2025 construction penthouse with advanced features including smart thermostat, mechanical ventilation, triple glazing, underfloor heating and cooling, solar panels, and EV charging preparation. The description emphasizes innovative design with glass facades, double-height ceilings, and contemporary loft living.
Industrial
The listing explicitly mentions the location is surrounded by 'water en industrie' (water and industry). The loft-style design with large glass facades and metal accents combined with the raw urban surroundings of Feijenoord and the Maas creates an industrial aesthetic.
Mediterranean
The property is located in Rotterdam with no mention of Mediterranean design elements. The climate and architecture described are clearly Dutch/urban, with focus on energy efficiency and the Rotterdam skyline.
Classic
This is a new construction property from 2025 with modern amenities and contemporary loft design. No classic architectural elements, traditional details, or period features are mentioned.
Exterior Style
Traditional / Historic
This is explicitly a new construction ('Nieuwbouw') from 2025. The Skyloft concept with glass facades and modern design is the opposite of traditional or historic.
Early 20th Century
This is a 2025 new construction with modern glass facade design. It has no characteristics of early 20th century architecture.
Post-War Functional
This is a premium Skyloft penthouse designed for luxury living, not mass-produced functional housing typical of post-war construction. The emphasis is on unique design, spectacular views, and high-end finishes.
Modernist
The listing describes 'glazen gevel' (glass facade), double-height volumes, open floor plans with voids ('vides'), large glass windows, and contemporary design throughout. This is clearly modernist architecture.
Newly Built
The listing explicitly states 'Nieuwbouw' and 'Bouwjaar: 2025'. The property is described as available 'per direct' and is part of a new development with 142 units.
Kitchen
Shared Kitchen
This is a private penthouse apartment, not a shared living arrangement. No shared kitchen.
Designer Kitchen
Listing mentions 'je droomkeuken realiseren' (realize your dream kitchen) which implies high-end customizable kitchen design. However, no specific design kitchen features are detailed. The property is positioned as a luxury pentouse with unique views and premium features.
New Kitchen
The property is a new construction (Bouwjaar: 2025) so the kitchen would be new. However, no specific kitchen details or even confirmation that the kitchen is included are mentioned. The listing emphasizes customizable living spaces rather than completed interior features.
Parking & Storage
Parking
Listing explicitly states parking places are available for purchase at €29,500 each. 'Inclusief 1 of 2 parkeerplaatsen' indicates parking is part of the offering, though at additional cost.
Garage
In the features section under 'Garage', it clearly states: 'Soort garage: Niet aanwezig, wel mogelijk' (No garage present, but possible).
Double Garage
No garage is present at the property, as explicitly stated in the features. Therefore a double garage does not exist.
Attic
This is a penthouse spanning the 21st and 22nd floors of a high-rise. Attics are not typically part of high-rise apartments, and none is mentioned.
Bike Storage
Listing explicitly mentions 'de ruim 600 plekken voor (elektrische) fietsen' in the parking garage, confirming extensive bike storage facilities.
Covered Parking

Workshop
No workshop or hobby room is mentioned in the listing description or features.
Rules
Owners Association
A VvE is implied as a VvE checklist is referenced under 'VvE checklist' in the listing (Inschrijving KvK: Ja). De Piekstraat is a building complex with 142 units, making an owners association necessary.
Chamber of Commerce Registered
The listing explicitly states under VvE checklist: 'Inschrijving KvK: Ja', indicating the owners association is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.
Annual Meeting
The listing explicitly states under VvE checklist: 'Jaarlijkse vergadering: Nee', meaning the owners association does not hold annual meetings.
Owners Association Fees
The listing explicitly states under VvE checklist: 'Periodieke bijdrage: Nee', meaning the owners association does not charge periodic fees. This is unusual for an established VvE and may indicate service charges are structured differently or the building is very new.
Reserve Fund
The listing explicitly states under VvE checklist: 'Reservefonds aanwezig: Nee', meaning no reserve fund is present. This is a concern for long-term maintenance budgeting.
Maintenance Plan
The listing explicitly states under VvE checklist: 'Onderhoudsplan: Nee', meaning no maintenance plan is in place. This is a notable risk factor for a new building expected to age.
Buildings Insurance
The listing explicitly states under VvE checklist: 'Opstalverzekering: Nee', meaning the owners association does not have buildings insurance. Individual owners likely need to arrange their own content/building insurance.
Open Viewing
The listing mentions 'plan snel een bezichtiging in!' (schedule a viewing) but does not provide specific open viewing dates or times. No structured open house schedule is disclosed.
Safety & Accessibility
Elevator
The listing explicitly mentions 'Lift' in the voorzieningen (facilities) section. Given that the penthouse is located on the 21st and 22nd floors of a 142-unit residential tower, an elevator is essential and clearly present.
Private Entrance
As a penthouse apartment in a tower with 142 units, the entrance is likely shared with other residents. However, penthouses in high-rise buildings can sometimes have semi-private access. The listing does not specify, but standard apartment arrangement suggests shared entry.
Gated Community
This is a residential tower in an urban development area on Feijenoord Island, not a gated community. The area is described as being in active development with public access, new housing, retail, and hospitality planned.
Wheelchair Accessible
The building has an elevator providing access to the 21st/22nd floor penthouse. However, the loft spans two floors with a mezzanine (vide), which could pose challenges for wheelchair users navigating between levels. The listing does not specify accessibility features beyond the elevator.
Utilities & Technical
Laundry Room
The listing mentions a unique loft layout with 2 or 3 bedrooms, but does not mention a dedicated laundry room or laundry facilities.
Smart Home
The listing mentions a 'slimme thermostaat' (smart thermostat) that adapts to the resident's living patterns for comfort and energy efficiency, indicating some smart home functionality, though it is not described as a comprehensive smart home system.
Ventilation System
The listing explicitly states 'CO2-gestuurde ventilatie' (CO2-controlled ventilation) as part of the sustainable living features and lists 'mechanische ventilatie' (mechanical ventilation) in the property features section.
Energy Efficiency
Solar Panels
The listing explicitly states 'De zonnepanelen op het dak zorgen voor een toevoer van groene energie' (The solar panels on the roof provide a supply of green energy).
Double Glazing
The listing mentions 'driedubbel glas' (triple glazing) as part of the sustainable living section: 'Driedubbel glas, CO2-gestuurde ventilatie en vloerverwarming en vloerkoeling zorgen voor een optimaal binnenklimaat'. Triple glazing implies double glazing as well, but the specific claim is triple glazing.
Triple Glazing
The listing explicitly states 'Driedubbel glas' (triple glazing) under the sustainable living section, contributing to the A++ energy label.
Wall Insulation
The listing states 'Isolatie: Volledig geïsoleerd' (Insulation: Fully insulated), which logically includes wall insulation for a new build achieving an A++ energy label.
Floor Insulation
Full insulation is stated ('Volledig geïsoleerd') and the listing includes underfloor heating, which in Dutch new builds always implies floor insulation. Combined with the A++ label, this is certain.
Roof Insulation
The listing states 'Volledig geïsoleerd' (fully insulated) and mentions solar panels on the roof. For an A++ energy label new build, roof insulation is standard and certain.
