New-builds, like those in Prinzenpark (l.), or refurbishments of existing buildings will guarantee contemporary office space: for example, in Xcite (centre) or the former Horten head office (r.).

Cradled in a curve of the river Rhine, Seestern offers access to some of the city’s most attractive waterfront sites.

The Seestern office zone Attractive office space, optimum transport links, good infrastructure,

reasonable rents and plenty of parking – Seestern offers it all.

Comprising a total gross floor area of around 520,000 m², the Lörick district on the left bank of the Rhine is one of Düsseldorf ’s largest and most traditional business quarters.

The core Seestern area consists of the office areas bet-ween Lütticher Straße and Brüsseler Straße as well as to the north of Hansaallee, while the extended Seestern area includes the site south of Hansaallee between Prinzenallee/Brüsseler Straße and Heerdter Lohweg as well as the buildings on Am Albertussee.

Interesting developments in the areas close by, for example, those on the BelsenPark site or along the Hansaallee, are also shown in this brochure. There changes will take place in the coming years that will radically alter and redefine the face of the whole of the city west of the Rhine.

Seestern offers attractive benefits for forward-looking companies Nearly 10,000 people work in this office zone on the left bank of the Rhine. The list of companies that have

Only a stone’s throw away from See-stern development likewise goes on: in the planned Silizium, at 205 Hansa-allee, about 14,000 m² of office space are being created. The Chinese elect-ronic equipment manufacturer Huawei will concentrate there what were for-merly its original three locations. In Böhlerstraße Deutsche Telekom will concentrate about 1,200 jobs from the region.

established themselves here reads like a ‘Who’s Who?’ of the information and communication industries.

Information technology is a tradition at Seestern: in 1989 IBM opened its first computer centre dedicated to software here. Vodafone, one of the area’s longest residents, is now investing in the development of its new Vodafone Campus (see page 12), underlining the company’s commitment not only to Düsseldorf as an information technology and communications centre, but also to the Seestern business location. In recent times, in particular, Seestern has experienced an upswing in the number of new companies from the ICT sector that are looking to move to the area. Thus, for example, not far away, in Heerdt, a large new-build with about 20,000 m² of space, in which 1,200 jobs in the region are concentrated, is being put up for Deutsche Telekom.

Japanese firms are traditionally well represented. Over the last few years, a number of Chinese enterprises have also recognised the benefits of the location. Recently, two major Chinese telecommunications suppliers, Huawei and ZTE, who switched operations to Düsseldorf from London and Munich respectively, have chosen to set up their European and German headquarters in Seestern. Hisense is another Chinese organisation who preferred Seestern over the many alternative locations in the city. New Chinese residents find it easy to find accommodation at Seestern and there is even a private casino for them to enjoy.

Home to five three- and four-star hotels, the area is an important hotel location which profits from its convenient links to the trade fair grounds and Düssel-dorf International Airport. Customers and business partners of the companies located here make extensive use of the conference and overnight facilities that lie within walking distance.

Refurbishment of the Rhine Tower, the city’s tallest residential tower block, and conversion of the offices into dwellings: living and working at Seestern.

“More than business” – Seestern has a lot to offer: sports and leisure oppor-tunities, excellent local amenities and a unique concierge service offering a varied range of services and supplies round the clock.

Since the completion of the A 44 bridge in 2002, Seestern boasts direct motorway access to the Ruhr Area and a fast and convenient link to the airport – yet another considerable benefit for firms based at the location.

For companies that are dependent on top-quality data transmission media Seestern is perhaps even one of the best locations in the city: it was very early on equipped with its own fibre-glass high-speed networks by the telecommunications providers resident here.

A special benefit for the companies located here is the concierge service, unique in Germany, offering a round-the-clock help and supply service.

The Seestern Office Zone has developed from a purely owner-occupier location (Horten, Rank Xerox, Stadt-sparkasse etc.) into a submarket dominated by office rentals. The buildings, offering on average between 10,000 and 25,000 m² of gross floor area (GFA), are of sizes typical of city expansion areas. Accordingly, companies can easily find larger-scale contiguous ren-tal units or, alternatively, spaces that can be split to meet their requirements – all of them featuring contempo-rary architecture and all available immediately. The rental prices in Seestern are also very reasonable (see box on page 7).

Seestern has been in demand as an office location for many years. Its modern architecture, appropriately sized and reason-ably priced rental units of 150 m², proximity to the city centre and excellent public transport links are the distinguishing characteristics of this submarket.

The banks of the Rhine, an outdoor paradise: cyclists, joggers and walkers all enjoy the Rhine Meadows close to Seestern.

... and employees feel good here tooA number of popular, high-quality residential districts can be found in the immediate vicinity, and new ones are being built close by. The public transport links are excellent: there are connections to the city centre every ten minutes and the travel time to destinations such as the Königsallee or Central Station is just a matter of minutes. And for those who come in their own cars there are enough car parking spaces available.

There are all kinds of restaurants and canteens providing food and refreshment during working breaks, and even late workers will always be able to find sustenance thanks to the presence of five hotels offering round-the-clock service. There are also a number of doctors, chemists, food stores and vari-ous other local shops in the immediate vicinity. Düsseldorf ’s most attractive walking trails lie along the Rhine and there are fitness studios and a tennis club just a stone’s throw away.

The beginning When the Horten retail group erected its head office here in 1961, it was the first building at this location. Seestern was planned as the city’s second expansion area – after the Kennedydamm office zone – in respon-se to urban planners who wanted to ease the burden that constructing ever more large-scale office buildings would impose on the city centre. It also made a signi-ficant contribution to meeting companies’ demands for up-to-date buildings and adequate floor space. However, further development at the Seestern site came to a halt. It was not until after 1970 that major office construction projects recommenced, including the architecturally interesting Rank Xerox head office and the first two hotels. Typical examples of the devel-opment of Seestern from the end of the eighties on-wards are the Eurocenters I and II (1988, see map, no. 15 and 16), Stern-Plaza (1992, no. 13 on the map) and Hansa Stern (1993, no. 24 on the map).

This set the course for a sustainable and continuous programme of extension, which was given a further boost in 1991 when Seestern received its own subur-ban rail connection. Two buildings from the first phase of construction at Seestern have been given listed status as being archetypical of the age and its forward-looking office building style. To this day, the former Horten headquarters building (map, no. 1), one of the first high-rises to feature open-plan offices, and the Rank Xerox building (map, no. 19) are prime examples of the high quality of architecture that has always been a hallmark of Seestern.

The aerial photograph reveals the perfect combination of excellent transport links and green surroundings offered by the Seestern business district.

Large-scale owner-occupiers still play a significant role in the office zone: the headquarters of Deutsche Apotheker- und Ärztebank

Development perspectives Since then Seestern has taken off. Between the mid-90s and the end of 2000 132,000 m² of office space were completed. From 2001 until the end of 2004 a further 117,000 m² were added. In 2011/2012 building con-tinued apace: about 86,000 m² for Vodafone, about 11,000 m² in Prinzenpark with a new building phase. A further 10,000 m² are being planned for here. A stone’s throw further on, in the Hansa allee, new office buil-dings are going up: the cesario, the Silizium and the Telekom building. In the closer Seestern zone exten-sive modernisations in numerous existing buildings dominate: for example, at Xcite, the former Horten head office, the Aureum, the WhiteMax and the Haus am Seestern 24.

From Belsenplatz on along Hansaallee BelsenPark with numerous apart-ments as well as office and indust-rial/commercial locations is being built (see pages 16–18). The zone also features extension areas, for example, along Lütti-cher Straße. In the Seestern zone there are still today about 55,000 m² of useful building space available.

Vodafone Campus DüsseldorfOut of all the available possible sites Vodafone chose

Seestern to set up its new German headquarters at. It is

a commitment to Düsseldorf as a business location and

to the business quarter on the left bank of the Rhine.

The new Vodafone Campus with its nineteen-storey tower and three other office buildings was completed at the end of 2012.

It comprises 86,000 m² of office space. With a total investment volume of over 300 million euro it was one of Europe’s biggest real-estate projects.

The new Vodafone Campus

A new landmark …In the Vodafone Campus that part of Düsseldorf on the left bank of the Rhine has been given a new land-mark. With its 19 storeys and a height of 75 metres the communication group’s new German head office is visible a long way off. On the site of the former Gatzweiler brewery in the city district of Heerdt the former seven Vodafone sites in the city zone were combined into a single campus at the end of 2012. From 2013 on 5,000 people will go in and out every day. The new-build has given rise to changes in traffic flows in the main highways, which the Heerdter Dreieck has been converted to cope with.

… and a mammoth projectJointly with the Zech Group and the “die developer” project developers Vodafone has realised about 86,000 m² of office space here. In accordance with Düsseldorf architects HPP Architekten’s plans an office tower with three further building blocks and a high-rise car park were put up in only 27 months. Some 700 specialists and construction workers worked daily round the clock at the site, which was among Europe’s biggest real-estate developments. The start signal was given on 13th September 2010, a lucky day for the city, because by signing a more than 20-year lease agreement Vodafone had made a clear commit-ment to Düsseldorf as the site of its German head office. Vodafone, with about 5,000 employees, is not only one of the city’s biggest employers: the Num-ber 1 in the German mobile telephony market con-tinues to exert by its presence a big pull on interna-tional companies in related sectors of the industry, which have then set themselves up in the immediate vicinity of Vodafone in Düsseldorf.

Workplace of the futureThe new campus will be a prototype for modern workplace design. In collaboration with those em-ployed at Vodafone a workplace concept was created in which open-plan and modern spaces are the basis and offer scope for ideas. The new campus concept will enable all employees to work flexibly and will also help achieve a balance between work, family and leisure time with a children’s day centre, medical centre, fitness studio and shops right inside the buil-ding complex.

The Vodafone Campus built to plans by HPP Architekten is a new landmark for the areas of the city on the left bank of the Rhine. On the inside it is a model of the very latest workplace design.

Shopping

High-class retail throughout the Oberkassel district and along its main shopping street, Luegallee

16

In BelsenPark a large number of new dwellings are being built by various developers (picture top: Pandion, picture bottom: Klotzbach & Vogg Company Group, picture p. 17 top right: PATRIZIA) as well as offices and food service providers (photos p. 17 top, middle: CA Immo). A large park for all citizens is being laid out in the centre.

Green and great to live in: BelsenPark, a new quarter in the heart of Oberkassel

On the disused site of the former Oberkassel goods station a new city quarter,

BelsenPark, is being built. Here living, working, shopping and food services will

soon go hand in hand.

The conceptThe site, which measures 15.2 ha, is one of the City of Düsseldorf ’s most important development zones. Together with the owners of the land, CA Immo, the city held an urban planning competition there, on the

basis of which (sop architects) the framework plan was appro-ved. Thanks to sustained urban planning and ca-re ful recycling of

no longer needed industrial/business space city space is being given back to citizens here in the form of a public park. The mix of uses made up of living, wor-king, food service industry and parking space will create a vibrant new city quarter.

An attractive pedestrian zone with shops will complete the retail offering in the Oberkassel area. The attractive park, with promenades, play areas and stretches of water, will be more than 20,000 m² in extent. Initial building operations for the planned residential, office and busi-ness buildings have been under way since summer 2012.

The planned Riviera Cannes and Riviera Nizza projects (see also p. 18).

17BelsenPark Oberkassel

BelsenPark in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel between Belsenplatz, Schanzenstraße, Hansaallee and Prinzenallee (see also isometric view on the following page) is being developed by a number of investors.

PATRIZIA is building a large number of dwellings in BelsenPark.

The developersThe developer of the site as a whole is CA Immo, which was able to acquire further investors: the Klotzbach & Vogg Company Group based in Düsseldorf acquired three plots of land for residential (106 residential units) and retail (space: 6,612 m²) use. The building plots have building rights for a gross floor area of approx. 46,744 m² (industrial/business, residential, undergound garage). PATRIZIA invested in 7,577 m² and is creating 12,000 m² of residential space in 83 dwellings. Pandion is building 154 residential units (see also isometric view overleaf).

The Seestern office zone 19

Düsseldorf Seestern location initiativeTo represent the interests of the business quarter as a strong community –

that is the task of the location initiative set up in 2010, “more than business”

the new slogan for the quarter’s new face.

The founding members of the Seestern Düssel-dorf initiative have achieved much: buildings are being rejuve-nated; the district is gaining a new vitality.

Its aim is to contribute lastingly to the strengthening of the location and to establish the Düsseldorf Seestern brand nationally and internationally. The initiative

concentrates the interests of its members for the benefit of the location. As well as implementing communica-tion and marketing measures the initiative plans to lastingly shape the look of the quarter and further ex-pand the infrastructure at the location. Thus, for example, true to the slogan “more than business”, food and drink services and shopping opportunities at Seestern are to be expanded to give tenants, workers and residents an even better work-life balance. Also the zone’s links to the public transport network have already been opti-mised, while further options in the transport sector are under consideration. Attractive offerings like the concierge service, otherwise unknown in Germany, are meeting with good acceptance amongst workers and residents alike. The initiative is also giving atten-tion to matters of sustainability and energy efficiency, which will be implemented with innovative concepts in the next few years.

Founder members include Deka Immobilien GmbH, Lindner Unternehmensgruppe, MEAG Property Ma-nagement GmbH, Prime Office REIT-AG and Union Investment Real Estate GmbH. Other members and patrons are alstria office REIT-AG, Arminius Kapital-ge sellschaft mbH, Carlyle Group, CBRE Global Inves-tors Germany GmbH, Everest Capital Management GmbH, Ferox Real Estate Group, KanAm Group and the North Rhine Dental Association’s pension fund.
