The Toren op Zuid is a KPN office building on Wilhelminaplein at Kop van Zuid in the Dutch city of Rotterdam.
The building has a height of 96.5 metres and has 23 floors. Construction began in 1998 and lasted two years. It is among the first high-rise buildings on Wilhelminapier.
A matrix of 896 green lights is attached to the building's facade. These are used to display animations, mainly art displays and as event support in the Rotterdam metropolitan area, for example during World Port Days or the annual Rotterdam marathon. The concept and design of the light wall was designed by Henri Ritzen of Studio Dumbar.
The façade of the building slopes forward six degrees. This means that the façade is at the same angle as the cables of Erasmus Bridge.
