Buildings In Tilburg, The Netherlands

At the same time as the wool industry collapsed in Tilburg (Netherlands), Cees Becht was the mayor. While he was in office, many buildings were destroyed, including some very precious monuments. The neighbourhood Koningswei (King’s Meadows) was demolished and replaced by Koningsplein (King’s Square). Because of all of this and some more parts of Tilburg, Cees Becht gained the dubious nickname Cees de Sloper (Cees the Demolisher).

In the 1990s Tilburg developed a modern skyline. Because of new policy three buildings were built, which are considered skyscrapers in the Netherlands. These are the Interpolis headquarters, the Westpoint Tower and StadsHeer. The Westpoint Tower has an altitude of 143.1 metres (469.5 feet) and was the tallest residential tower in The Netherlands until the Montevideo in Rotterdam surpassed it. De ‘StadsHeer’ is the third one and is part of the ‘Haestrechtkwartier’ (Haestrecht quarter). The residential tower is nicknamed De Vogelkooikes (Bird cages) for its cubic balconies taped onto the building.
