InfraRed and Cube Real Estate let 10,000 square meters of office space in Ratingen’s Schwarzbach Quartier to FUJIFILM Europe
Mayor Pesch: Positive signal effect for a premium location
Ratingen, 30.11.2020 – InfraRed Capital Partners, an international investment manager for real estate and infrastructure projects and investor in Ratingen’s Schwarzbach Quartier, together with its project developer Cube Real Estate, has signed a ten-year lease agreement with FUJIFILM Europe for “The Square” office building, which is currently under construction. The property is centrally located in the Schwarzbach district of Ratingen, which is now home to several European headquarters of globally active companies.
The Japanese technology group FUJIFILM will open its European headquarters on 10,200 square meters from autumn 2021. Both parties were advised by BCLP (InfraRed) as well as Anteon and Hogan Lovells (FUJIFILM). The parties have agreed not to disclose further details of the contract.
Decisive location factors for FUJIFILM in the Schwarzbach Quartier were the combination of space utilization, infrastructure and technology and the focus on energy efficiency and sustainability with the aim of offering employees and visitors a modern and appealing ambience.
“Once again, it shows how important the Schwarzbach Quartier is for Ratingen as a business location as a whole,” says Mayor Klaus Pesch. “I am delighted that a global corporation like FUJIFILM will be managing its European business from Ratingen. This decision will undoubtedly send out a positive signal that will give InfraRed Capital Partners and Cube Real Estate a tailwind for the further development of this premium location. I very much hope that we will soon be able to welcome other attractive employers there,” explains the Mayor of Ratingen.
