Equity Estate sells office EY in Zwolle
Equity Estate has sold a single-tenant office building at Zwartewaterallee 56 in Zwolle to Veldboom. The office building, located along the A28 motorway, and with a lettable floor area of 5,520 sqm and 154 parking spaces, is fully let to Ernst & Young.
Queristics Investment Group, a joint venture of Equity Estate and a Middle-Eastern investor, acquired the newly built property in 2010. Queristics invested in Germany and Benelux, focussing on logistics and office real estate. In 2018, Equity Estate bought out its joint venture partner and refinanced the pan-European portfolio with Partners Group, a Swiss asset manager. With the sale of the office building in Zwolle, the last building in the Queristics portfolio has been sold.
"With the sale of Zwartewaterallee, we have more than achieved our objective and can focus on new opportunities in the market.", says Nard Schuddebeurs, COO of Equity Estate.
Equity Estate was advised by NL real estate | Knight Frank and the seller by KroeseTempert Bedrijfsmakelaars from Zwolle.
Soon after the acquisition of the Dutch Partners portfolio Equity Estate has optimized three assets dramatically.
The Apeldoorn asset, which at acquisition was leased on a short-term basis to Expo, was leased on a five-year term to Norah. Norah is a retail chain focusing on trendy lady fashion.
In Maastricht, the retail unit on the Muntstraat was leased to Art of Chocolate, and in The Hague Marshal Denim leased the Vlamingstraat asset.
All leases closed on 5-year terms.
Starting 1 February 2022 a long-term lease has been closed with Alektum Group for some 750 sqm of office space on the 6th floor in Quarter Plaza and also 12 parking spaces in the parking garage under the building.

Equity Estate and one of its international partners have launched Dutch Partners CV, an investment vehicle targeting on high street retail assets. The strong focus is at A1/A2 locations in the top‐20 inner city retail areas in the Netherlands. A healthy mix of retail, leisure, hotel and catering and daily shopping, and a strong catchment area are the basis for acquisition decisions. It is the ambition to build up a well‐balanced retail portfolio worth approx. EUR 100 million.
The first transaction has recently been finalised comprising 15 retail assets in prime cities such as Maastricht, Deventer, Den Haag, Utrecht, Enschede, Amersfoort and Apeldoorn. The portfolio has various tenants amongst which are Kruidvat, Costes, H&M, Heineken and Inbev.
Equity Estate is responsible for the acquisition and management of the portfolio.
Equity Estate has acquired the Eempolis office building, of almost 32,000 sqm and 350 parking spaces and located at Station Amersfoort Centraal. The state-of-the-art building has been awarded with a 'BREEAM-very good' rating and an energy label A. The building is let to 20 different tenants, including Arcadis, Dutch Railways (NS) and the Central Government Real Estate Agency (RVB).
In the short and medium term, a number of large-scale developments will take place in the direct vicinity. For example, the development of the new town hall in the Trapezium Triangle and the mixed-use development 'Wagenwerkplaats'.
This purchase is in line with Equity Estate's strategy to acquire office buildings at major public transportation hubs in the Netherlands. The strategy also focuses on a high quality for the internal and external environment of the offices. Eempolis excels both through its accessibility as well as through a high level of sustainability.
In 2016, a.s.r. took over the office portfolio of Basisfonds Stationslocaties CV. From this portfolio, nine offices, including the Eempolis office building in Amersfoort, were transferred to the newly launched ASR Dutch Mobility Office Fund. Due to the fund's tightened strategy, which focuses on the office market in the G5 (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven) of the Netherlands, it has been decided to sell the Eempolis office building. The freed up capital is used for reinvestment.
CBRE supervised the sale for a.s.r. real estate.
