Cologne, Dusseldorf 6 May 2015. DO Deutsche Office AG (Deutsche Office) has

"Following closely on the leasing of the KASTOR TOWER in Frankfurt, the
finalization of this long-term lease for our property at AM SEESTERN 1 has

rental market, which underscores the attractiveness, quality and location
of our properties" says Jürgen Overath, Speaker of the Board at

The property at AM SEESTERN 1 is a modern landmark building that combines
maximum visibility with convenient access to local infrastructure and
