In 2005 the door was ajar for tall buildings in the city. It was stated in the High -Building Vision Utrecht that no higher construction is allowed than the Dom, unless. “How high maximum? The discussion about the desired maximum will have to be conducted separately per application,” the Council decided in 2005. It was emphatically stated that a higher building should be placed in Leidsche Rijn Center. “The dogma ‘nowhere in Utrecht ever higher than the Dom’ keeping up does not do justice to the fact that today we have to be able to write the history of tomorrow,” it decided in 2005. And so there will soon be the Mark de Mark, a complex with three towers, one of which is 140 meters high, almost 30 meters higher than the Dom.
Again the discussion: build higher than the Dom?
