PingProperties lets vacant units in the Koploper in Amersfoort
11-03-2025
In February PingProperties renewed and added extra office space to long-term leases with three tenants in the Koploper building, located at Stationsplein 89 in Amersfoort. The tenants are Stichting Toegepast Onderzoek Waterbeheer (STOWA), Alzheimer Nederland and Trans Link Systems.
Alzheimer Nederland already has offices in the adjacent office building, De Argonaut, which is also in PingProperties’ portfolio. To facilitate the growth and refurbishment of office space for Alzheimer Nederland, PingProperties has reached agreement with STOWA to relocate from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor of the Koploper building. This makes the 4th floor available for Alzheimer Nederland, which will lease around 397 m² there. A new lease has been signed with STOWA for the 3rd floor with around 410 m2 of office space. PingProperties has also recently renewed the lease with Trans Link Systems B.V. for around 312 m² of office and filing space. These successful lease transactions demonstrate the strong landlord/tenant relationship and PingProperties’ flexibility to meet the growing needs of its tenants.
These leases mean that around 2,200 m² (units from 270 m²) are still available in the Koploper building. PingProperties expects these units to be quickly occupied, in view of the strong demand for office locations next to an intercity station that meet the highest sustainability requirements.
About the Koploper
Right next to Amersfoort Central intercity station is the ultra-modern office building known as the Koploper, with a floor area of 10,000 m2 and an internal car park for around 182 cars. The Koploper is not only named after the well-known Dutch train, but it also means ‘Frontrunner’, highlighting its leading position as regards accessibility and sustainability. There are still a few office units available offering a range of options; units from around 270 m2 to no less than 2,200 m2. PingProperties will be optimizing the building this year by improving its functionality, aesthetics, sustainability and technological facilities. The Koploper currently has energy label A, but PingProperties intends to increase this to energy label A+++ with a BREEAM In-Use Very Good certificate. The building will therefore be entirely gas-free, solar panels are being installed and LED lighting is being fitted throughout the building.
