IU International University of Applied Sciences has agreed a long-term lease for around 3,550 sqm at Yorcks Campus in Düsseldorf. BNP Paribas Real Estate advised the tenant.
The agreement brings the proportion of space secured under long-term leases to more than 85%. Other occupiers include Düsseldorf’s adult education centre, fitness operator FitX, biotechnology company Bio-Techne and health insurer AOK Rheinland/Hamburg.
Located at Yorckstraße 18–23 and Münsterstraße 169, the campus provides approximately 28,600 sqm of lettable space. Its facilities include roof gardens, landscaped outdoor areas, shared spaces, food and service amenities, and around 400 parking spaces with electric-vehicle charging points.
IU is a private, state-recognised university with around 130,000 students. It offers campus-based, distance-learning and dual-study programmes across subjects including business, IT, artificial intelligence, psychology, healthcare and social work.
The building complex was completed in 1992 and acquired by ABG Real Estate Group in 2020. Its subsequent renovation included new building systems, heat pumps, photovoltaic panels and other energy-efficiency measures. According to ABG, these upgrades reduced the property’s energy demand by more than 50%.
Yorcks Campus has received DGNB Gold pre-certification.
