Innovative business park with campus character
BODY PRODUCTS RELAX Pharma und Kosmetik GmbH, Frechen, Germany
A comprehensive master plan with a total volume of around €25 million was developed for the Frechen site of the BODY PRODUCTS Group. The result is a business park with a campus-like character that offers space for both manufacturers and distributors of medical products. The plan covered 9,080 m² of gross floor area, of which 7,600 m² is rentable space, as well as space for 350 workstations in office, laboratory, and training areas.
The master plan aimed to create a modern technology campus that combines innovative working environments with sustainable urban development and new mobility concepts. In addition to office and laboratory space, areas for research and development as well as start-ups were also to be included. A key focus of the planning was on sustainable development and high-quality spaces for social interaction.
The master plan was developed in several stages, beginning with a site analysis, followed by concepts for land use and logistics, and finally architectural and energy planning. Existing production halls were replaced by modern office and laboratory spaces to make use more efficient. Our experts from the S + P team placed emphasis on sustainable construction, which is reflected in energy-efficient building envelopes and striking, identity-defining architecture.
The central campus building serves as a multifunctional interface for trainings, a canteen, and communal activities. This building offers flexible rental options that promote long-term synergies with external companies and start-ups.
To optimize access to the site, a mobility concept was developed that includes an underground parking garage, bicycle parking spaces, and a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. In addition, the master plan integrates leisure and sports facilities as well as a daycare center, thus contributing to the location’s attractiveness for skilled workers. A central campus boulevard connecting the buildings creates a lively, car-free atmosphere. The site is accessed via access roads at the edge of the property. An underground parking garage with around 100 parking spaces complements the efficient use of space.
