Aroundtown secures long-term letting with over 14,500 sqm at Admiraliteitskade 62 in Rotterdam

Aroundtown has achieved several leasing successes at the office building Admiraliteitskade 62 in Rotterdam. Lease renewals and new lettings with well-known companies further strengthen the attractiveness of the location and significantly improve the long-term leasing structure.

The most significant achievement is the lease extension with the anchor tenant, a global provider of risk advisory services, for approximately 8,400 sqm. This is complemented by additional new lettings and extensions with other existing tenants. Nevesbu, a specialist in naval architecture and maritime engineering, has secured around 1,750 sqm. Chane, an international supply chain company for liquid goods, combines a lease extension of approximately 700 sqm with an additional new lease of around 1,050 sqm. KoersVO, the regional network for inclusive secondary education in Rotterdam and the surrounding area, is taking up approximately 1,255 sqm under a new lease agreement. Together with several smaller new leases such as Doctors at Soap and extensions with existing tenants, with a combined surface of more than 1,500 sqm, this results in a total of more than 14,500 sqm of new leases and extensions. Altogether, these transactions confirm the strong demand for modern office space in central Rotterdam. All lease agreements have been concluded on a long-term basis with terms of around ten years, contributing significantly to the stability of the asset.

The office building is situated in an attractive waterfront location on Admiraliteitskade and offers modern, flexible office space with high-speed, reliable fiber-optic connectivity, a lounge area, common meeting rooms, a rooftop terrace, restaurant, and a parking garage. The building has also achieved Paris Proof certification, demonstrating its alignment with the ambition to bring building energy performance in line with the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement. In addition, the building holds an A++ energy label, is equipped with a Building Automation and Control System (BACS), and has obtained BREEAM certification.

The property also benefits from excellent transportation links, including the Oostplein metro and tram stop, which is just a short walk away, as well as the Oostplein ferry terminal. Rotterdam’s city center can be reached by bike in less than 5 minutes.

“The successful new lettings and lease extensions covering a total of more than 14,500 sqm underline the strong appeal of this location. The long-term agreements with renowned tenants confirm both the quality of the office space and the strong demand for modern, well-connected office properties in Rotterdam. At the same time, they contribute to the property’s sustainable long-term value creation,” said Sander van Holland, Head of Asset & Property Management Dutch Operations at Aroundtown.

With these leasing successes, the Admiraliteitskade 62 office complex reinforces its position as a sought-after office location within Rotterdam’s economy and confirms Aroundtown’s strategy of creating sustainable value through long-term lease agreements and a diversified tenant structure. Aroundtown provides its tenants with comprehensive service offerings, including dedicated on-site contacts and a central 24/7 service centre staffed by trained professionals, available to commercial tenants at all times – including weekends and public holidays. The new lettings strengthen Aroundtown’s position as one of Europe’s leading listed real estate companies, included in the MDAX.

Aroundtown was advised by Colliers on the lettings to Nevesbu, KoersVO, Chane and Doctors at Soap. On the tenant side, the building’s largest occupier was also advised by Colliers, while Nevesbu was advised by CBRE and KoersVO by Molenaar Bedrijfshuisvesting.
