Düsseldorf: Topping out for new E-Plus headquarters
The mobile telecommunications network operator E-Plus Group celebrated the topping out ceremony for its new headquarters in northern Düsseldorf. The building is under construction on a 15,400 sqm site in the commercial park called “Quartier(n),” not far from the present E-Plus main administration facilities. After completion, the object is to have approximately 34,000 sqm of gross floor area, some 30,000 sqm of which are rentable floor space. The design was drawn by the architectural office NPS Tchoban Voss. The project was implemented by a consortium of the firms BBS and Pöttinger. The builder, Apellasbauwert Property, sold the property in September, 2007, to the Commerzbank subsidiary Commerz Real AG, which will act as landlord for the building. Aengevelt Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG initiated the project in the fall of 2006, subsequently brokered the lease and advised Apellasbauwert during the sale. According to previous announcements, the investment volume amounts to approximately €86mn.
