A Dutch court has rejected the objections raised by the association Kop van Zuid/Noordereiland to the development of the Maas tower in Rotterdam. The court ruled in favour of development company OVG, which was granted building permits by the municipality of Rotterdam for the construction of the skyscraper. At 165 metres, the Maas development will become the highest building in the Netherlands.
