182,769 square meters marketed on the Innocampus
28.06.2023 – 182,769 square meters or almost 18.3 hectares of space on the Offenbach Innovation Campus have now been marketed.
A forward-looking and sustainable business location is being created on the former Clariant site. 70 percent of the developable area has been sold since the end of 2022, and Samson AG began construction work on its new company headquarters on the site on June 20, 2023.
The Innovation Campus is owned by INNO Innovationscampus GmbH & Co KG, a real estate company of Stadtwerke Offenbach, which develops and markets the site together with its sister company OPG Offenbacher Projektentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH on behalf of the city. OPG has also taken on these tasks for Hafen Offenbach - and was awarded gold in the New Urban Quarter category by the German Sustainable Building Council.
The 36-hectare innovation campus is the largest contiguous inner-city development area in the Rhine-Main metropolitan region for commercial use. Following Samson AG, which acquired around 14.3 hectares of the site at the end of 2021, another global market leader, BioSpring, was won over by the Innovation Campus: The biotechnology company secured two plots totaling almost four hectares on the site in 2022. These important projects will largely use already sealed areas, which contributes to the sustainability of the projects: land recycling avoids further sealing in the city and surrounding area.
Valve manufacturer Samson plans to invest a total of 250 million euros in its ultra-modern "factory in the city" - plans include the use of photovoltaics and electrical energy storage systems for production that is as CO₂-free as possible, as well as green roofs and façades. Samson is aiming for a maximum degree of energy self-sufficiency and wants to reduce its overall energy requirements by a good third. Biospring, on the other hand, is integrating a former Clariant social building into its plans in terms of sustainable construction.
