MACH signs first lease with Valad Property Group and VALERES Project Developments.
The prestigious business park development Campus Contern, near the city and airport of Luxembourg, is enjoying a successful start. While the first building is still under construction, telecommunications multinational MACH has
signed a six year lease for 2,900 m². To developing partners Valad Property Group and VALERES Project Developments this means that the entire first building has been let from the moment it will be delivered mid June, 2009.
Campus Contern is a high quality development that combines the benefits of Contern's convenient location and low rents compared to the city of Luxembourg and most of its periphery. Valad and VALERES are very focused on offering
value for money in an attractive setting. The buildings can be flexibly adjusted to meet tenants' requirements and offer an unequalled parking ratio of 1 parking space for every single work station. With the construction of the
second building commenced and planned to be completed by the end of September 2009, Valad has teamed up with CBRE, Property Partners and Jones Lang LaSalle for the letting.
Mark McLaughlin, managing director of Valad Property Group Benelux: “We are very pleased to have MACH as our first tenant in June, and we are excited that our proposition proves its value so early in the development. We absolutely
believe in the potential of Campus Contern, which provides a sustainable and spacious environment in the growing business community of Contern..”
Marc Diver, chief executive officer of VALERES Project Developments: “We are convinced that the development of Campus Contern as a green and agreeable place to work on a location easily accessible from France, Germany and the
Airport will soon attract more tenants. That is why we have already started the first construction works for the second building of 2,900 m², which will be ready by the end of September 2009.
