The Rhino: Industrial-Style Living with Comfort and Character
The Rhino is a former office building that was completely transformed in 2020 into a modern residential complex with a total of 120 apartments. The building’s name refers to the striking steel structure above the entrance – a powerful architectural statement that immediately catches the eye and enhances the building’s bold appearance.
The housing offer is diverse: from practical studios to one-bedroom apartments with French balconies or private gardens on the ground floor. All apartments are delivered move-in ready, including laminate flooring, ceiling lighting, a fully fitted kitchen, and a modern bathroom. Sustainability is key: every home has at least an energy label A, with several even reaching A++.
Facilities in and around the building
The Rhino combines an industrial, contemporary design with comfort and functionality. The complex features multiple elevators, including one accessible via a transparent glass corridor, creating an open and modern entrance experience.
Residents also enjoy several shared amenities:
- A secure indoor bicycle storage area on the ground floor
- A communal rooftop terrace, perfect for relaxing outdoors
- Ample parking directly in front of the building
Thanks to its clear layout and practical design, The Rhino is an excellent choice for first-time buyers, young professionals, and anyone looking for compact, carefree living with great amenities.

The Rhino is located on Fascinatio Boulevard in a quiet, spacious neighborhood of Capelle aan den IJssel, just a short distance from Rotterdam.
