Accounting and advisory firm Deloitte has extended the lease agreement with landlord Deka Immobilien Investment GmbH for the rental of the 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 sq m 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. This extension fits perfectly with Deloitte's ambition to support the growth of its workforce.

Niels Hansen, 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 A&T, 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.’

Deloitte was commercially advised by Savills. Landlord DEKA was assisted by CBRE in the transaction.
