The Cologne team of international real estate consultancy firm Cushman & Wakefield (C&W), as part of Office Agency National, has let around 1,700 sq m of space in the “Cologne Oval Office” building. Despite the challenging market environment in Cologne, C&W succeeded in finding a suitable tenant within just three months.
The new occupant of the green building at Gustav-Heinemann-Ufer 72 is DBM Deutschland GmbH (DBM), a service provider specialising in all building trades and small repairs for residential and commercial properties as well as nationwide retail chains. After 20 years of successful company history, it is the DBM’s nest step in fulfilling its steady growth and the requirements of a modern working environment. The company has already moved into its new premises on the top floor of the property, with a view of the Rhine and the cathedral.
The building ensemble, comprising two organically curved buildings, was designed by Sauerbruch Hutton Architekten. It was completed in 2010 and has seven storeys with a total of 30,000 sq m of lettable area. In addition to excellent public transport access and its immediate proximity to the Rhine, the location is characterised by a diverse range of restaurants and retail outlets on the popular Goldsteinstrasse.
