Conversion to a multi-tenant property
„Silvers“ – Völklinger Straße 1, Düsseldorf
Office property consisting of two connected building blocks, with around 19,600 m² of leasable space. Due to out-of-date office space and building services, the property was no longer marketable when the sole tenant moved out. LEED-certified full renovation to permit multi-tenant use, and repositioning in the leasing market.

The building was extensively revitalised from 2016 to 2017:
- New access to public streets
- Redesign exterior area to create pleasant surroundings
- Permit multi-tenant use and highly flexible spatial layout design to satisfy individual tenant requirements
- Implement an extensive energy/services concept, including innovative energy-efficient lighting, WC grey water use, elevator energy-recovery system, upgraded energy-saving HVAC system
- Generous ceiling height using smart engineering concepts
- Imposing lobby with reception desk and concierge
- Prepare and implement a leasing concept
- Create an Internet presence to provide detailed information about the property, for leasing, as a showroom and for associated events to improve the visibility of the property
