Portbase extends the current lease agreement

12-2, 2024

Portbase extends the current lease agreement at BLAAK16 for another 10 years.

Equity Estate and Portbase have signed a renewed 10-year agreement for approximately 2,259 m² (rentable floor area) of office space and 33 parking spaces.

Although BLAAK16 dates back to 1970, this does not mean it is not sustainable. In fact, the building underwent a large-scale renovation in 2018, including renewal of facades and installations. As a result, it scores high on ESG, with a WKO-system, solar panels, charging stations and even certifications such as EPC label A++++, BREEAM Excellent and a WELL Gold certificate. It is one of the few office buildings in Rotterdam that currently meets DGBC's Paris Proof standards.

BLAAK16 features shared facilities, including a shared meeting, conference centre and a roof terrace. Additional services include a reception with a coffee bar provided by Frame Offices.

This extension confirms the top quality status of this office building in the Rotterdam office market. It underlines the growing demand for high-quality, sustainably certified office space in the city centre where offers are limited. This trend has been around for some time, but is now really starting to take shape.
