London (November 14, 2024) – LaSalle Investment Management (“LaSalle”), the global real estate investment manager, has agreed a 10-year lease with Assmann Beraten + Planen, an international planning consultancy, for the remaining 3,200 sqm of the East Tower of the Columbia Twins office scheme in Hamburg. The scheme, which is owned by the open-ended, pan-European LaSalle E-REGI fund, is now fully occupied.
The agreement follows SVA System Vertrieb Alexander, a German IT service provider, moving into the sixth and seventh floors of the East Tower on a 10-year lease in April 2024. The West Tower is leased to Columbia Shipmanagement, an international maritime service provider, which was also involved in the development of the asset.
In preparation of the recent lettings, the East Tower – formerly occupied by a single tenant – was renovated for multi-let purposes and to enhance its appeal to modern workforces. The project was led by Schmidhuber Future Work GmbH, a specialist in creating innovative work environments.
Built in 2009 and located in the Hamburg submarket of Harbour Fringe, Columbia Twins offers over 9,400 sqm of lettable space. It provides tenants with access to a roof terrace overlooking the river Elbe and famous Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall. Designed by renowned architect Carsten Roth, Columbia Twins holds DGNB gold certification and recognition from the BDA, the Hamburg architects’ association.
The long-term leases signed with multiple tenants underscore LaSalle’s ability to provide investors in LaSalle E-REGI with exposure to high-quality commercial real estate assets across Europe’s leading markets.
Sven Becker, Fund Manager, LaSalle E-REGI, said: “Both the signing of this new long-term lease and the existing high-quality tenants we have previously secured at Columbia Twins demonstrate the attractiveness of these buildings to various occupier needs. LaSalle E-REGI continues to deliver on its strategy to meet growing tenant demand for well-located, high-quality commercial space in key European city-centre markets and, as such providing long-term stable income for our investors.”
