Revive an iconic railway viaduct.
In 2006, this 1.9 km-long railway tracé in Rotterdam, was purchased for redevelopment into an urban destination. At Contaínr Affaìrs we created the strategy for reviving this icon in the city center. We made the overall concept, created a vision for the future and involved inspiring entrepreneurs, a Michelin star restaurant, and several retailers.
