Deloitte extends lease agreement for The Edge Amsterdam

March 27, 2024

A building during what looks like twilight, given the low light conditions in the sky. The building has a geometric design with a predominantly glass facade that reflects the colours of the sky and surroundings. It is a multi-storey building with visible interior floors and lighting. The building's architecture is characterised by a combination of triangular and rectangular shapes formed by the metal framework supporting the glass panels. The glass itself is translucent, allowing interior light to shine through, giving the building a glowing appearance against the darker sky. The sky is dramatic, with a mix of darker blue and lighter shades, suggesting that the picture was taken during the blue hour, the period of twilight in the evening. There are no visible stars or the sun, indicating that it is not completely night. At the base of the building appears to be a solid, dark structure, possibly made of concrete or stone, which are the foundation or lower floors. This section has minimal windows compared to the rest of the building. The overall impression is of a contemporary, possibly commercial or office building captured during a transitional moment between day and night, focusing on the design of the building and the contrast between the artificial and natural light.

Accounting and advisory firm Deloitte has extended the lease agreement with landlord Deka Immobilien Investment GmbH for the rental of the flagship office in The Edge in Amsterdam for a long-term period. Deloitte and Deka have entered into a new lease agreement for the rental of approximately 32,130 m² of office space and 326 parking spaces.

Office building The Edge, located at Gustav Mahlerlaan 2970, is one of the most sustainable office buildings in the Netherlands. In addition to its sustainable character, the building is distinguished by the innovations used, which set a new standard for its users.

With this transaction, Deloitte and Deka have also reached agreement on additional investments in further sustainability of the building. Research shows that this building is still an absolute leader in the field of sustainability with a BREEAM In-Use Excellent certification. In addition, further research is being conducted into the possibilities of meeting the Paris Proof standard, as defined by DGBC.

Niels Hanssen, Director Advisory & Transaction Services at CBRE and Walther Lahnstein, Senior Commercial Manager Property Management at CBRE: ‘We are extremely proud that we have advised landlord Deka integrally with the Leasing, Property Management, Development Services and the ESG team during this process and have contributed in a unique transaction aimed at further improving the sustainability of this impressive office building.’

Ellen Waals, Head of Agency, and Caroline van Duren, Consultant Tenant Representation, add: 'We are delighted to have been able to assist Deloitte in this transaction. A client with whom we have built strong relationships both nationally and internationally. It is also inspiring to see that DEKA and Deloitte have jointly set their sustainability goals and plan to build on them. This demonstrates how landlord and tenant can work together to achieve sustainable goals and contribute to reducing the real estate footprint.’

Landlord Deka was fully advised by CBRE on strategic, technical and commercial matters. Deloitte was assisted by Savills.

A modern building with sharp triangular shape and grid pattern of rectangular windows, illuminated by evening light and artificial lighting. The sky shows a colour gradient from deep blue to warm shades of orange and pink. Bright lights at the base accentuate the structure against the evening sky, while moving clouds create a dynamic effect. The scene exudes modernity and serenity in an urban setting.
