Transaction | Office space | S-Dock Schiedam
PingProperties recently signed a 10-year lease agreement with Batenburg JB Systems for its S-DOCK office building in Schiedam consisting of approximately 1,254 m² of office space and 28 parking spaces.
After renovation in the middle of this year, Batenburg JB Systems will occupy the entire 11th and 12th floors.
The office building has a striking design and is located at Karel Doormanweg 66 in Schiedam, directly alongside the A4 motorway. The building consists of 12 floors with a lettable floor area of 8,830 m² and an indoor car park for some 182 cars.
S-DOCK
With the announced departure of SBM Offshore last year, PingProperties has repositioned the office building under a new name: S-DOCK (https://www.s-dock.nl). PingProperties sees a lot of rental potential in the striking building with current floor areas combined with the high level of sustainability and quality hardly offered in the area. The building will be transformed into a sustainable building with a modern look and a strong brand identity that is easily accessible by both public transport and car. S-DOCK will soon meet the highest sustainability standards: Energy label A++ and BREEAM In-use Very Good, but also excel in terms of design and functionality. The office building will have a reception area, coffee bar, restaurant and formal and informal meeting rooms on the common ground floor. The new outdoor terrace will be a pleasant place for relaxation and connection.
Sander Rovers (Investment Manager – PingProperties): ‘This type of quality offices, strategically located right along the motorway with excellent public transport facilities, is seen as the future of the Dutch office market. The demand for such buildings continues to grow, both nationally and internationally, as long as contemporary and future requirements are met in terms of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), accessibility and overall quality. To meet this growing demand, PingProperties has developed a targeted strategy to transform the building into the market leader in the area. The office floors offer great flexibility for layout with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Port of Rotterdam/Schiedam/Vlaardingen on one side and the Rotterdam skyline on the other.’
Raoul Molenkamp (Managing Director – Batenburg JB Systems): ‘Decisive for us were the sustainability and the location of the building overlooking our offshore activities. In addition, centrally located for our employees and customers looking for industrial automation (PLC/SCADA /DCS).’
