Cartesiusweg

GENERAL

Work in the most modern and newest city district of Utrecht!

In the Cartesius Triangle in Utrecht, the former NS railway site, 322 homes are currently being developed along with commercial units on the ground floor of the Solo building. This is the first phase of the overall area development, in which urban living will take shape around a park. Phase 1 covers around 30,000 m² gross floor area, consisting of 2 buildings: Track and Solo. In phase 2 onwards, around 2,500 homes will be built with many amenities such as a primary school, sports hall, supermarket, hospitality venues, etc. The monumental CAB building forms the lively meeting place at the heart of this new residential district.

The Track building comprises 242 homes, ranging from 50 m² to 80 m² gross floor area, falling mainly within the mid-rental segment. The building will also feature a large shared outdoor area and a sunken car park with bicycle storage.

The Solo building consists of 80 homes, including 7 studio homes and 10 ‘friends’ homes designed by Utrecht-based architecture firm Zecc. On the ground floor of the Solo building is a commercial unit of 575 m² (available for rent) and a spacious semi-sunken bicycle storage area. The Solo building is situated around a courtyard and is located in the park and on the square behind the monumental CAB building. Together with the CAB building, the park also forms the heart of the Cartesius Triangle district.

Both sub-projects score highly on sustainability and mobility. Soon there will be a wide range of electric shared cars and e-bikes available. Construction started in spring 2021, with completion expected in Q1 2023.

The commercial units are located partly on the ground floor and partly in the basement. The ground-floor unit has a split-level floor due to the differences in height between the front and rear of the building. The ceiling height of approximately 4 metres makes the space spectacular for a variety of uses.

RENT PAYMENT
The rent and service charge advance, plus VAT, payable per quarter in advance.

RENT REVIEW

In addition, the tenant owes an annual advance amount, to be determined, for shared facilities such as bicycle storage, facade cleaning etc.
