Hamburg, May 31, 2024

  • Japanese chemical group rents around 1,400 square meters
  • Occupancy rate rises to 85 percent
  • Ready for occupancy in September 2024

Becken, a specialist in project development, revitalization, and asset and investment management for commercial and residential real estate, has achieved another leasing success for its Düsseldorf office development project, “CURVE.” The Japanese chemical company Mitsui Chemicals Europe GmbH is leasing approximately 1,400 square meters on the fourth floor of the six-story office building on Helmholtzstraße near Düsseldorf’s main train station. The lease was signed for a long-term term and begins at the end of 2024. With this move, the globally active company is relocating its European headquarters in Düsseldorf from Oststraße in the Stadtmitte district to Friedrichstadt. JLL advised Mitsui Chemicals Europe GmbH and brokered the lease.

Olaf Drossert, Managing Director of Becken Estates GmbH, says: "With the latest letting success, we were able to increase the occupancy rate to 85% before completion. We are currently holding promising talks for the vacant 1,800 square meters of rental space and are confident that we will achieve full occupancy before completion." The CURVE is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in September 2024.

Joachim Schmidt-Mertens, Managing Director of Becken Development GmbH, says: "In addition to the central location and excellent public transport connections, the high building quality and high sustainability standards, which are confirmed by a DGNB Gold certification and the Efficiency House 40 building class, among other things, were decisive factors in the user's decision to rent in CURVE. The high quality of the digital infrastructure, which is confirmed by WiredScore Gold certification, was also an important criterion in this process."

The "CURVE" has 200 underground parking spaces and a charging infrastructure for e-mobility. JSWD Architekten GmbH & Co. KG was commissioned.
