It&#8217;ll consist of 28 floors and 400 homes, which will be split into 120 social housing units, 30 care homes, and 250 apartments designated as medium-level rental units intended for young professionals. Additionally, its lower floors will host retail spaces and entertainment facilities, such as a bowling alley.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recirculation\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>Greenery-filled terraces and rooftop areas will be available for occupants at multiple points, and Mecanoo hopes to encourage as much interaction as possible between the residents in the tower, as well as with the wider neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>The project is slated for the Dutch EPC&nbsp;<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.government.nl\/topics\/energy-performance-certificates-for-homes-and-buildings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">green building standard<\/a>.
