WELCOME TO WINTHONTLAAN 1
W1 is the place where you can work (together) in a healthy and sustainable way. This building offers all the facilities to get the best out of your working day. Leading tenants such as Rabobank, Worldline, the Dutch Association of Hospitals and Leeuwendaal enjoy the qualities of W1 every day. This landmark along the A12 is excellently accessible. With its BREEAM Excellent certificate and Energy label A++, W1 is a proven sustainable choice. Whether you work hybrid or not, the facilities at W1 make all the difference.
W1 stands for working together, hospitality and efficiency
The ground floor of the building offers all the facilities today’s office user needs. The reception provides a professional welcome. The spacious, light-filled Atrium is designed to meet the needs of different moments of the working day. For example, the touch-down area where you can pause to check your messages. Or the flexible meeting spaces further along in the Atrium. This multifunctional area is set up for informal meetings, creative working formats or a working lunch. There are also two exclusive meeting rooms. The Auditorium is unique: business gatherings for groups of up to 200 people can be organised here. The break-out space around the auditorium makes it suitable for various types of events. There is no longer any need to hire external venues.
A core value of W1 is hospitality towards tenants and visitors. The general areas have a light yet warm feel. Here, you are welcome. The team of hosts, barista and the restaurant provide a personal and professional approach. The espresso bar is the meeting point of the building – delicious coffee and a relaxed moment. The sight of the restaurant alone will make your mouth water: fresh, healthy and varied. A meal salad, or would you prefer a (vegan) croquette? It’s all possible at W1. The hospitality team offers countless options for organising lunches, drinks and gatherings – in the restaurant, the auditorium, or even in a tenant’s own space.
These facilities are available to all tenants. Compared to organising things individually, this is both cost-effective and efficient. And thanks to the good, representative reception and the shared facilities available, a tenant can opt for an efficient layout on their own leased floor. At the same time, the building also offers efficiency to employees, who find an attractive range of hospitality options, both in the building and in the neighbourhood. There are also many opportunities to meet and relax. Enjoy your coffee in the adjoining park. Have a quick chat with a colleague outside in the sun. Or make free use of the padel courts during lunch – just a short walk from the building. Why wouldn’t you want to come into the office?
Excellent accessibility
W1 is located right at the A12/Europalaan exit, with a direct connection to the A2 and A27. This means you benefit fully from Utrecht’s central location. W1 is easy to find thanks to its excellent visibility from the A12. The building has generous parking facilities, with room for over 800 cars. Naturally, there are plenty of charging points.
Accessibility for public transport users is also excellent. W1 is located next to the high-frequency tram and bus connection Utrecht CS – P+R Westraven – Nieuwegein. From the stop next to the building, travel time to Utrecht CS is less than 10 minutes.
Cycling to W1 is a great alternative. The important Utrecht–Nieuwegein cycle route runs past the building. Via this cycle highway, you can reach the station area within a quarter of an hour. Or are you looking for the buzz of Ledig Erf? That’s just a 10-minute cycle ride away. W1 has generous, enclosed bicycle storage facilities. For sporty cyclists, there are lockers and 4 shower cubicles.
Merwedekanaalzone is ‘the place to be’
W1 is located in the A12-zone/Europalaan business district. Here you’ll find high-quality offices with prominent tenants such as ABN Amro, NWO, Santander, YER and Brunel. Next to W1 is the dotslash campus, Utrecht’s start-up and scale-up location. The location of W1 in this area is highly favourable, thanks to its visibility from the A12, the proximity of the exit, the P+R Westraven and the public transport stops right outside. Next to W1 is the Van der Valk hotel, a fine addition to the building’s own facilities. For a quick errand, head to ‘t Goylaan, just a few minutes from the building. And Nova, the complete shopping heart of Kanaleneiland, is also close by.
W1 is part of the Merwedekanaalzone, Utrecht’s inner-city development area. This zone is transforming into a modern, green urban district for living and working. In the area around W1, this means that commercial activity along the Merwedekanaal will eventually disappear, to be replaced by residential buildings in a park-like setting. The commercial functions along the Winthontlaan and Europalaan will be strengthened. The tram will be upgraded accordingly to a high-quality, metro-level connection. The campus-like setting that will emerge makes this location ‘the place to be’.
