Allianz Real Estate has partnered with Edge Technologies to refurbish, enlarge and upgrade the five-storey Forum office building in the centre of Amsterdam’s Olympic Area business district.
Set to complete before year-end 2022, the redevelopment will position the building as a highly efficient, sustainable and technology-led prime office asset. Rebranded as Edge Stadium, the building will target BREEAM Excellent and WELL Core & Shell Gold certifications and aim for reduced total energy consumption of approximately 70%.
‘The redevelopment of the Forum office, where we will introduce cutting edge technologies into one of our existing buildings, exemplifies our innovative spirit and our approach to future-proofing our assets,’ said Alexander Gebauer, CEO of Allianz Real Estate for Western Europe. ‘Active asset management is a key part of how we add value to properties on a long-term basis, particularly with regards to the latest environmental standards and innovative technologies.’
Part of Allianz Real Estate’s portfolio for several years, Forum currently offers a lettable area of 17,400 m2, including an atrium of 2,400 m2. The redevelopment process will add another 10,000 m2 and include an extension to the building’s existing atrium.
‘Edge Stadium will be our next generation smart redevelopment in which all the aspects from its neighbouring Edge Olympic are improved. We are thereby able to provide tenants with the ideal working environment,’ said Coen van Oostrom, founder & CEO of Edge.
