DEMIRE achieves full letting in Essen: Police contracts long-term lease for 24,000 m² in Bredeney office park
Langen, 18 November 2022. DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) has concluded a twenty-year lease agreement with the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, represented by the Essen police headquarters in the Bredeney office park at Theodor-Althoff-Strasse 39-47 in Essen. After a complete refurbishment and tenant-specific expansions, the police department will occupy approximately 24,100 m² by the year 2025.
With approx. 45,600 m² of rental space, the Bredeney office park is one of DEMIRE AG's largest office properties and was built in 1996. With the signing of the new lease, the property is fully let. Along with the new lease, the building will be partially gutted and comprehensively refurbished. The police’s headquarters is to meet the energy efficiency standard BEG-55. In addition to an energy efficiency program, including the installation of heat pumps and a photovoltaic power plant, DEMIRE extends the building through development measures. The redesign of the façade creates an urban landmark in a central location in the Essen-Bredeney district.
Ingo Hartlief, CEO of DEMIRE AG, says: "We prevailed in a public tender with our modern space concept, a comprehensive sustainability approach and good architectural design. This means that we are once again successfully repositioning an office building. Realising real estate potential is DEMIRE’s strength."
