In Düsseldorf, the refurbishment work on DUO is drawing to a close as part of the extensive repositioning of one of the city's most sustainable existing buildings and one of the most attractive office properties in the Grafenberg district. Three new tenants have already been found: Latz Piller Trenner Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH, Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH and the perfumery company Douglas, which is extending its rental space to the tower. In total, the letting of around 3,500 m² of office space has been successful.
‘The first third is done! In a challenging market environment, we have succeeded in convincing three tenants of the DUO Tower and retaining them as long-term tenants. The design developed with the renowned architectural firm DJH, the quality of the materials and the flexibility of the workplace concepts were particularly convincing. The desired LEED/DGNB dual certification - both in Gold status - and the Wiredscore Gold award were also important,’ says Arndt Buchwald, Managing Director of Quantum.
DUO Campus: A well thought-out overall concept
The 60-metre-high DUO Tower is complemented by the adjoining low-rise building on eight floors. This has already been extensively revitalised in the past and is fully let with well-known tenants such as Douglas, Ubisoft, FrieslandCampina and Techniker Krankenkasse. Both parts of the building have a total lettable area of approx. 34,650 m².
Once the refurbishment is complete, exclusive amenities will enrich the campus atmosphere on site. ‘An elaborately redesigned lobby, a bistro with an outdoor area, a roof terrace and a fitness area round off the offer for all office tenants,’ says Vinzenz Stamm, Asset Management Commercial at Quantum, adding: ’With HiddenGyms, we have also already found an operator for the in-house fitness area.’
Letting success across the board
The Global Gate office building, which is also located in the same district and managed by Quantum, is about to be fully let following the conclusion of two further long-term rental agreements. Further information on DUO and Global Gate can be found at:
