General
Minervahuis I, II, III and IV are four iconic and adjoining office buildings with shops and hospitality venues at street level. Built between 1937 and 1950 as a building block on Meent, Rodezand, Leeuwenstraat and Westewagenstraat. Minervahuis I was the only office building behind the Coolsingel to survive the bombardment, albeit severely damaged, but was restored to its original state shortly afterwards. Minervahuis II is the first new-build office with shops that was completed after the fire resulting from the 1941 bombardment. A residential building originally stood on the site, but the occupying forces cooperated to help companies that had lost their buildings regain office and retail space.
In Minervahuis I and II on the 1st floor (Minerva Offices) a number of units are currently available. Units 1.03 through 1.07 are accessible via the entrance of Minervahuis II. The floor is well maintained and has a general meeting room as well as a shared pantry and toilets. A combination of open-plan office and cellular offices is possible. The floor is fitted with a new energy-efficient LG climate installation that cools, heats and dehumidifies.
Meent is well and truly back. As the most atmospheric city street and one of the most popular shopping streets in the city centre, it is characterised by a great diversity of quality shops and lovely hospitality venues with cosy terraces. Excellently accessible by bicycle, within walking distance of NS stations Blaak and Centraal and metro station Beurs, and Rotterdam city centre is also easily accessible by car.
