08 June 2024, 14:00 CET, Antwerp,
Belgium: VGP N.V. ("VGP"), a pan-European owner,
manager and developer of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial
properties as well as a provider of renewable energy solutions,
will develop the new “grEEn-campus” in Rüsselsheim for Opel, a
brand of Stellantis N.V. The project has been publicly unveiled
today at the "125 Years of Automotive Production at Opel"
anniversary celebration at the Opel headquarters in Rüsselsheim,
Germany, in the presence of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
VGP will develop on a land plot of 105,000 m² an
office building, engineering building and design center as well as
parking lots, as part of the so-called “grEEn-campus Rüsselsheim”.
The campus will also provide space for recreation, café and meeting
areas.
Jan Van Geet, CEO of VGP: “We are excited about
the partnership with Opel. This project is another milestone for us
at VGP, and we expect to be able to start up the development in the
coming period. Recently, we have been able to sign a string of
iconic future-oriented reindustrialisation projects and we are
proud to be able to contribute in this way to the rejuvenation of
European industry.”
Opel CEO Florian Huettl says: “The grEEn-campus
will be a place for exchanging and sharing ideas to promote
creativity, efficiency and competitiveness, and ultimately create a
highly desirable work environment. We are excited to have VGP as a
very competent partner to realize this landmark project.”
The "grEEn-campus” is part of the historic Opel
production site partly procured by VGP in November 2023. With a
total area exceeding 700,000 m², the three plots of land in
Rüsselsheim am Main represent VGP´s largest brownfield project to
date.
Beside building the campus for Opel, VGP will
develop at VGP Park Rüsselsheim tailormade solutions for industrial
companies and small and medium-sized value-added businesses for
which it currently has already some very advanced ongoing
negotiations. In line with its commitment to responsible
development, VGP will operate with care to optimize the benefits of
the development for the local community in close coordination with
the responsible authorities.
VGP aims for an ambitious environmental approach
for the park, committing to achieving a minimum DGNB Gold
certification for all buildings. In addition, VGP aims to prove the
conformity of its property with EU Taxonomy. The new park will be
largely independent from the grid as it will benefit from existing
electricity facilities and water treatment and recycling services.
Rooftops are expected to be equipped with photovoltaic panels and a
geothermal system is projected to contribute to the facility’s
energy and heating needs by 2025.
