The premises is made up of 5 upper and 4 basement floors. The three bright entrance areas of both buildings are accessible from rue de Neudorf. Each entrance has a different address.
Due to the high flexibility of the complex, companies of all sizes can be accommodated.
In addition to the office spaces, the street levels of both blocks are linked by a staircase and provide shops and services to the tenants as well as outside visitors.
