The offices of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency in Assen are the subject of a large-scale renovation. During the renovation, temporary accommodation was needed for around 350-400 civil servants. Redept carried out an exhaustive search including seeking 'off market' solutions. With success, as it transpired that the space was available in the NAM building, only 500 meters away. Consequently the occupiers could remain in their trusted surroundings without having to commute to and from Groningen during the renovation whereby a saving of millions was realised on the original plan. Redept supported the Central Government Real Estate Agency in the negotiations and contract forming.
The Central Government Real Estate Agency works for and on behalf of the Dutch State. They are responsible for managing and maintaining the largest and most diverse property portfolio in the Netherlands. The portfolio includes prisons, court buildings, military barracks, airports, defence sites, ministerial offices, ports, tax offices, listed buildings and historical monuments, museums and palaces. The Agency makes these buildings and sites available in order to meet the property needs of central government. Their expert staff develops strategy and policy and supervise the management and maintenance, purchase and sale, construction, remodelling and renovation, and development and redevelopment of properties in the portfolio.
