Owned by Covivio since 2020, ICON is one of Düsseldorf’s iconic architectural landmarks. Build in the 1970s, this office building is currently undergoing a facelift in order to house shops as well as offices offering a flexible working environment, concierge services, a gym, meeting rooms and green outdoor spaces promoting encounters and relaxation.

We are going to keep ICON’s emblematic profile while transforming the interior completely in order to create a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose building. The ground floor shops will give the district a new lease of life. As for the office section, spaces will be rethought in keeping with new work practices with a strong focus on collective spaces and services. The renovation has also been designed in accordance with a virtuous, sustainable environmental approach.

Virtuous building

The renovation was carried out with a view to reducing ICON’s carbon footprint, including:

  • rooftop solar panels
  • efficient technical systems optimised via an energy management system
  • greening of courtyards and interior spaces
  • strong focus on biodiversity

Promoting green transport

ICON promotes green transport in order to offer a sustainable and vibrant environment suited to multiple purposes:

  • public transport right in front of the building
  • 982 parking spaces including electrical vehicle charging stations
  • bicycle parking facilities with charging stations for e-bikes

Certifications

  • WiredScore Platinum
  • DGNB Gold (pending)

Flexibility is key

More flexible, more services, including both collective and individual spaces: workspace expectations have changed significantly over the last few years. Which is why ICON tenants can choose Covivio’s new “BU” modular space concept featuring freely configurable work areas, high-quality design and sustainable materials. New tenants will be able to call on Covivio to design the layout and furnishing of their spaces.
