It’s already been a massive year for infinitSpace: we launched our second London location ‘beyond Kingsbourne House’, announced plans to launch three new sites in Germany in partnership with CG Elementum, as well as sharing the upcoming launch of two new UAE sites in partnership with Sultan Holding!
And we’ve got no plans to slow down any time soon.
In fact, today, we are delighted to announce the launch of 'beyond Zuidtoren', our next flexible workspace location in Amsterdam, opening September this year! The management agreement was signed at this years PROVADA Real Estate Conference with Bryant Park Services B.V. (a fund affiliated with New York-based global asset manager Marathon Asset Management L.P. – “Marathon”, a global asset manager with $23B under management).
Yes, following sites across Europe and the UAE, the Netherlands – where our Head Office is based – will now be home to an infinitSpace flexible workspace. Located in the iconic Zuidtoren office complex which lies at Taurusavenue 1-41 in Hoofddorp, directly at Hoofddorp train station.
Zuidtoren has undergone extensive refurbishments during the last two years which have improved the ESG credentials of the building and included a full renovation of the lobby, meeting rooms, restaurant and terrace, all lift lobbies and sanitary facilities. It is a striking building, comprising 17,000 sq m of office space, designed by Kohn Pederson Fox Associates. It has received a BREEAM Excellent and A+++ energy label.
Indeed, the new workspace will be among the most impressive in the country.
Following the success of our London-based sites, ‘beyond Kingsbourne House’ and ‘beyond Aldgate Tower', we have signed a management agreement to launch the new flexible workspace under ‘beyond Zuidtoren’.
As part of this, the design of the new workspace will match beyond’s signature style of light-filled spaces and bold colour palettes, fitted with relaxing lounge spaces and equipped with the latest workspace technologies. It will be characterised by its commitment to building community and empowering human endeavour.
Of course, all occupants of Zuidtoren will benefit from our first-class workspace management app. The app has a number of practical features, such as enabling a building’s users to access meeting rooms or book coworking spaces on demand. Primarily, it will serve as a connectivity hub that extends across our global flexible workspace portfolio, providing a widespread forum for communication and networking.
Commenting on the news Wybo Wijnbergen, the CEO and Co-founder of infinitSpace said: “We are delighted to be working with Marathon Asset Management and BNP Paribas Real Estate on what is going to be an incredible new flexible workspace in the landmark Zuidtoren. Having successfully launched beyond Aldgate Tower and beyond Kingsbourne House over the past 15 months, this exciting new partnership will mark the first steps of the beyond brand outside of London; what better place to mark this new chapter than this building in the Amsterdam region.”
Jelle de Boer, Associate Director Asset Manager at BNP Paribas Real Estate, commented: “Flexible working is transforming business and, in infinitSpace, Marathon Asset Management has found the perfect partners to transform a part of the Zuidtoren and embrace this shift. We tend to always optimize the service level within Zuidtoren and, by being able to provide a flexible office product, we expect to see further success in this building. The infinitSpace team know how to create, manage, and operate flexible working spaces to maximise their potential and value for tenants. I look forward to seeing a fresh vision applied to the space – one that will bring new organizations into the building, bolstering the amazing community we have worked to develop.”
We can’t wait to bring this new flexspace to life!
