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.
Both Hanshow Netherlands BV and The Next Ad BV have renewed their long-term lease agreements, continuing to make Quarter Plaza a vibrant business ecosystem.
From February 1st, 2024, Hanshow Netherlands BV has not only extended the existing lease agreement for 748 m² of office space and 5 parking spaces, but also extended it by approximately 734 m² and 10 additional parking spaces on the third floor, bringing the total to 1,484 m2 of office space and 15 parking spaces. A world leader in electronic shelf labels and digital shop solutions, Hanshow is strengthening their position as a leading provider of digital retail solutions worldwide, with implementations in more than 30,000 shops in 50 countries.
The Next Ad BV has also extended their long-term lease and moved into newly renovated, modern turn key office space on the first floor of Quarter Plaza. As a digital marketing agency, The Next Ad BV facilitates small businesses and enterprises to advertise at an advanced level, enabling them to grow effectively.
Hendrik van Duijn: ''Very happy that we can continue to welcome both Hanshow Netherlands BV and The Next Ad as tenants in Quarter Plaza. Both extensions underpin the quality that Quarter Plaza has to offer.''

With this energy label upgrade and sustainability measures, the aim is to create a contemporary and efficient working space at Eempolis, all while taking concrete steps towards a greener future.
This confirms Equity Estate's determination to improve sustainable practices and position Eempolis as a leading sustainable office building in Amersfoort.
