Example of a major acquisition during the first half of 2016:
Acquisition of a 68,000sqm. complex of office buildings at 139 Wilhelminakade in Rotterdam, “De Rotterdam” in June 2016. With its three interconnected mixed-use glass towers, a height of 150m, the complex built in 2013 is designed as a vertical city, as wide as a football pitch, with 68,000sq.m. of office space, a 278-room hotel, shops, restaurants, flats and a 642-space car park.
Designed by the architect Rem Koolhaas, the complex is used by 5,000 people a day. It stands at the cutting edge of energy-efficient buildings with an on-site generation system, water from the adjacent Maas river used for cooling, automatic daylight and motion control, and efficient elevators using energy recovery.
De Rotterdam was awarded Best Tall Building in Europe by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) in Chicago in 2014.
