Touch Incentive leases in Blaak 16 in Rotterdam

23-5, 2023

Equity Estate has signed a long-term agreement with Touch Incentive for the lease of approximately 900 sqm (l.f.a.) of office space located on the 1st floor and 9 parking spaces at a rent of EUR 240 per sqm for the office space.

BLAAK16 is located in the creative district of Rotterdam and borders the city centre and the Old Harbour. The location is easily accessible by car and public transport. The building has a parking garage and NS railway station Blaak is at 1-minute walking distance from the building.

Dating from the 1970s, the office building underwent a major renovation in 2018. The facades and all installations were completely renewed at that time. The building scores very well in terms of ESG. The building has a thermal energy storage system, solar panels, charging stations and is certified with an energy label A+, BREAAM Excellent and a WELL Gold certificate. This high-quality office building is thus qualitatively among the top office buildings in the Rotterdam office market. Which partly underwrites the rent level of the lease transaction. BLAAK16 has several communal facilities, including a communal meeting and conference centre and a roof terrace on the 11th floor. Other services of BLAAK16 are a reception area with coffee bar operated by Frame Offices, meeting space on the 11th floor as well as a meeting space on the mezzanine floor and a central entrance with double height.

“The high-quality finish in combination with the available ESG certificates have contributed greatly to the good lettability of this office floor. This shows that the demand for high-quality office space at A locations is very much in demand” said real estate consultant BRiQ Real Estate.

Touch Network is a leading company formed from the merger of Touch Incentive Marketing, Touch TVCC and Jibe Commerce and Sparco Loyalty Solutions. Touch specialises in developing promotions, savings programs and employee benefits, supported by specific software solutions. Equity Estate is delighted with Touch Incentive's arrival at BLAAK16.

"For Touch Incentive, we were looking for a new location for our head office that matches our identity, organisation and employees.

BLAAK16 answers in all areas. Strategic location in Rotterdam, sustainable, easily accessible by public transport, good parking facilities, inspiring office design and many attractive facilities in the immediate vicinity for our employees and business relations.

The new head office at BLAAK16 will contribute positively to the further growth and development of Touch Incentive!"
