As part of location and space optimization.
The Norwegian DNV Group is an independent expert in assurance and risk management with a focus on the energy industry, shipping and corporate certification. The company has around 15,500 employees in more than 300 locations in 72 countries. DNV was looking for a new, central location for its Dresden branch. CBRE and Aengevelt brokered a lease agreement for around 1,600 m² of office space in the “World Trade Center”, Maternistraße 15, in Dresden’s old town. The landlord of the property, which comprises around 90,000 m² of rental space, is WestInvest Gesellschaft für Investmentfonds mbH, which belongs to the Deka Group and is represented by RECO Immobilien- und Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH. Leases will start in autumn 2025, when DNV will relocate its Dresden location from the Mockritz district to here.
Dr. Thomas Werner, Managing Director and Head of DNV’s Dresden office, commented: “We were looking for modern office space with efficient floor plans in a central location in Dresden that was very easy to reach for customers and employees. It is precisely these requirements that the office space in WTC Dresden that CBRE and Aengevelt brokered for us ideally fulfils.”
“We are pleased to welcome DNV to the WTC, a renowned tenant who optimally complements the property’s mix of uses. The decision of DNV as an internationally active company for the WTC impressively confirms the location and property qualities of the property, which has been awarded DNGB Platinum certification and Wired Score Platinum certification, among others,” said Jürgen and Manuel Rees, Managing Directors of RECO.
“Together with CBRE, we have transparently presented DNV with the complete range of products available on the market. The decision was in favor of the WTC. In addition to the central location, the decisive factors were the sustainable building characteristics and the high space efficiency,” explains Aengevelt rental specialist Tobias Barth.
“In addition, the excellent and professional communication of all parties involved during the contract negotiations should be emphasized, which contributed significantly to the successful conclusion,” adds Peter Waldhoff, Head of Tenant Solutions at CBRE Germany.
