Nassaukade 3

OFFICE BUILDING THE “ATTIC”

General
The “Attic” is a unique, distinctive office building, modernised under architectural design, located in an unrivalled waterfront position on the Maas. The building stands in the “Hefkwartier” and forms part of the former Unilever factory complex on the Nassaukade in Rotterdam.

The complex where Unilever, until a few years ago, produced well-known margarine brands such as Blue Band and Becel, has been a landmark in the city for more than a century.

The office building was constructed before 1915 and is located directly beneath the “Bruggebouw”, which dates from 2008. The contrast between the traditionally built Attic office building and the modern Bruggebouw is characteristic of Rotterdam’s attitude.

The Attic offers its future occupants exceptionally high-quality, creative office space with a permanently unique view over the Maas. The building is accessible via its own entrance on the Nassaukade.

Location
The Attic is located at the head of the Feijenoord development area. This 19th-century (original) port and residential area on the left bank of the Maas will undergo a further transformation in the coming years through the repurposing and (partial) demolition of old factory complexes, including the former margarine factory on the Nassaukade.

In the near future, approximately 800 homes will be built in the area, along with additional retail and hospitality functions, creating a lively urban district where living, working and relaxing come together.

Accessibility
From the north, the Willemsbrug together with the Koninginnebrug, as well as the Erasmusbrug, provide two fast traffic connections from the city centre to the Feijenoord district. From the southern ring road around Rotterdam (A16 and A15), the location is very quickly accessible by car via the through roads Laan op Zuid, Stadionweg, Oranjeboomstraat and 2e Rosestraat.

In addition, accessibility by public transport is excellent, thanks to the building’s location within walking distance of NS station Rotterdam Zuid and Wilhelminaplein metro station. Furthermore, bus line 32 and bus line 66 provide quick connections to NS Intercity station Blaak and metro/bus station Zuidplein respectively.

Availability
The entire office building is available for rent and comprises a total of approximately 3,131 m² of lettable office space, divided as follows:

The above areas are provisional and may still change slightly depending on the final positioning of the main entrance and routing within the building.

Facilities
The office space in the Attic has a robust and rugged character. The combination of contemporary design elements and original details gives the office a character all of its own.

VAT
When determining the rental price, the starting point was that the tenant would continue to use the leased premises for at least the statutory minimum percentage, or a percentage to be further determined, for activities giving right to VAT deduction, such that a VAT-taxed lease can be opted for. If a VAT-exempt lease is agreed instead, a surcharge will be added to the rental price.
