The Kop van Zuid area is a former harbour area. As the port of Rotterdam grew the port moved more to the West away from the city. The old harbours in the center of the city were abandoned. In the late eighties plans were developed to make this area a part of the city center. The Erasmusbridge was built to connect the Kop van Zuid to the city center. Several highrise projects are part of the masterplan, most will be built on the Wilhelminapier.
