Goldman Sachs chooses the Marienturm
US investment bank Goldman Sachs has signed a rental contract for some 10,000 square meters of office space in the Marienturm and is thus going to occupy roughly a quarter of the premises available in the high-rise. Markus Brod, Managing Partner at Pecan Development, is thrilled by the successful transaction: “In the form of Goldman Sachs we are welcoming a leading international player to the building. This goes to show that our ‘Cultivating Work’ offer is being well received by the market. Hinging as it does on a stimulating working environment in which an appreciation of the users and their wellbeing plays the decisive role. Which in turn rests on superlative aesthetic standards and comfort, as is reflected in the design, the fit-out, and the usage mix of the two office towers on the Marieninsel.”
