Alpha Tower

Alpha Tower is a modern skyscraper in central Enschede with a glass facade that rises prominently above the surrounding area. The building houses office and commercial spaces across multiple floors, served by high-speed elevators and advanced security infrastructure.

Construction of Alpha Tower began in the early 2000s as part of a major urban development period in eastern Netherlands. The project reflected Enschede's efforts to rebuild its economy and image following the decline of textile manufacturing.

The building marks Enschede's shift from a textile manufacturing town to a center for technology and learning. It has become a symbol of how the city reinvented itself after industrial decline.

The tower is easily accessible by foot from the city center and offers good views of the surrounding area from its location. Walking around the building and the nearby streets gives a clear sense of the modern development in this part of the city.

From the upper floors, you can see across the entire city and far into the neighboring German region. This view highlights Enschede's location near the border and its place in the transnational landscape.
