Deka Immobilien has let 13,000 sqm in its Amsterdam office landmark, The Rock, to Databricks. As a result, 99 per cent of the space currently available for occupation is now leased.
The long-term lease to Databricks, a global leader in artificial intelligence and data analytics, further strengthens The Rock’s position as a premium address within the highly sought-after Amsterdam Zuidas Central Business District.
Sustainable refurbishment
The 22-storey building, completed in 2009, is currently undergoing comprehensive technical, energy-related and conceptual upgrades. Office space on the first, second and ninth to 22nd floors is being refurbished. New communal areas, including a reception, hospitality offering and flexible working zones, are being created on the ground floor and mezzanine level.
The property provides a total lettable area of 29,554 sqm. At 90 metres in height and with its distinctive architecture, it is a defining feature of the Zuidas district. The latest letting underlines the appeal of the location, the quality of the building and the consistent asset management strategy pursued during the ongoing repositioning.
The Rock already holds a WiredScore Platinum certification. Upon completion of the current measures, a BREEAM In-Use “Excellent” rating and an A++ energy label are also being targeted.
Deka Immobilien was advised on the transaction by Cushman & Wakefield and New Ground Law. Databricks was advised by JLL and Dentons. The letting mandate for The Rock is held by Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE.
