The commercial spaces in CROSSOVER in Amsterdam South Axis have been delivered
After more than two years of construction, and on schedule, the stunning CROSSOVER office building has been delivered by BAM Wonen Speciale Projecten. The offices score high on both comfort, health, and sustainability; the energy-neutral office building will soon boast a BREEAM Outstanding label, WELL Silver Certificate and an Energy A++++ label. CROSSOVER is a design by Team V Architects.
CROSSOVER, a collaboration between AM and Equity Estate, is located on the South Axis, near the A10 South exit and the Europaboulevard. It is a multifunctional building consisting of almost 11,000 sqm of office space, social spaces and a restaurant, and 130 flats. Lieven De Key will become the owner of 120 flats, which are expected to be delivered in June 2023. CROSSOVER gives a new impetus to the east side of the South Axis and contributes to the further development of this part of the South Axis into a lively and sustainable environment.
Now that the building has been completed, the tenants can get to work Meanwhile, STX Commodities, Pinsent Masons and BDR Thermae have committed to the office spaces as tenants.
The Quarter Podium office building in Amsterdam Sloterdijk, has leapt from an energy label C to a whopping energy label A+.
Quarter Podium is part of the Quarter Offices portfolio, which also includes Quarter Plaza and Quarter Avenue. With the improvement of Quarter Podium's energy label, the entire Quarter Offices portfolio has been awarded at least energy label A.
Equity Estate aims to continuously improve the portfolio and has the ambition to certify all three Quarter Offices with a BREEAM Very-Good label.
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!"
