First Basket Event

On the 10th of June 2010, following months of planning and fine-tuning, the building of the GreenPark commenced and the goal to build Europe's largest green façade began.

The event celebrated the first baskets of the GreenPark. At this event several representatives from the Rotterdam municipality, clients and customers attended. The aim of the event was not only to mark the beginning of the green transformation of the THORNICO Building, but also to inspire others to think about sustainability.

At the event CEO of WEST-STAR Ronald Bouwens said: “As a real estate company in the heart of Rotterdam, I think we have a responsibility for the environment in the community that surrounds us. That is why we invest in what we call ‘going green’. We do this through our by now renowned green facade, our green roofs and for example, the led-lighting in the communal areas.”
