FOR LEASE – FEATURES
GENERAL
The “De Winthont Loft Offices” office building is located on a unique highly visible site directly alongside the A12 motorway, with more than 320,000 passers-by daily. The office building comprises approximately 8,600 m² of lettable floor area spread over 8 storeys, all with a beautiful view of Utrecht’s motorway network and/or the city centre.
Many renowned companies are established in the immediate vicinity of “De Winthont”, such as Santander Consumer Finance (part of Banco Santander), Van der Valk Hotel, Equens, Rabobank and IKEA.
“De Winthont Loft Offices” is located on the Winthontlaan. Like the other street names in the area, “De Winthont” refers to one of the 98 Dutch ships that took part in the Battle of Nieuwpoort. This battle was fought in 1653 between the Dutch and the English. The battle ended in one of the heaviest maritime defeats in Dutch history. The tide has, of course, long since turned, and with this prominent building “De Winthont” the name takes on a new meaning: one of freedom, style and space.
ACCESSIBILITY

Thanks to its location, the office building’s accessibility can be described as excellent; it lies alongside the A12, directly at exit/entry 17.
