Hochtief to realize Rüttenscheider Tor office project in Essen

Hochtief Projektentwicklung will start constructing the new Rüttenscheider Tor office building in Essen in fall 2008. Until the end of 2009, almost 9,800 m² of gross floor area will be created on the site at the corner of Alfredstrasse/Messeallee. 62% of the office space has already been let to law offices Görg Rechtsanwälte and Rechtsanwälte Kümmerlein Simon & Partner before the actual start of construction.
   On the 4,700-m² site, a property comprising five standard floors and one set-back floor will be built. Because of its L-shaped ground-plan, the object will have two adresses - Alfredstrasse and Messeallee. The building's architecture creates a conceptual link to the design of the Gruga Office Park which is located directly opposite and was completed in 2002: in their height and visual effect, the two buildings form a harmonious whole. The property will also comprise two separate underground car parks offering a combined total of approximately 170 parking spaces.
