ECFG found new location via network

News 23 August 2021 • 11:48

ECFG is moving to another location. The ECFG team only has to cross the street to arrive at their new office; the building of De Lage Landen in Eindhoven. We, at ECFG, have known for a long time that network plays an important, if not crucial, role but this was confirmed again with the search for the new building. EVCF II investor Johan Martens helped in the search for the new location. And with success!

ECFG is growing. The jacket of stone, steel and glass on the Ten Hagestraat became too small. The need to have more space to receive customers arose. Just like the desire to work together in a large open workplace. Open and transparent, exactly what is important to ECFG. There is also more space in the new building to accommodate partners such as Brainport TechLaw and TAMI.

The ECFG philosophy
The new location was found with the help of EVCF II investor Johan Martens. He is a partner at REDEPT Cresa, an independent real estate consultant who works for users of commercial real estate and does not work with a traditional portfolio in which he owns properties. In rental or purchase processes, his focus is therefore entirely on the interests of the tenant/user. This ensures that he can act with an open mind and prevents conflicts of interest. He knows the market in Eindhoven like the back of his hand. Johan: “I know ECFG, and especially Hans, well. The investments ECFG does sometimes also have a real estate component on which I can contribute ideas. Now the question came from ECFG itself and I was allowed to think along with them. The ECFG philosophy ‘for each other, by each other’ also came together here.

Needle in a haystack
It felt like finding a needle in a haystack, it all came together so beautifully. ECFG’s current lease has expired. I heard that the DLL property was becoming available from my network, but there were also other interested parties. The network of fellow brokers with whom I have been working together for some time also helped. In addition, ECFG had a better starting position. You have to be that lucky sometimes.

Most beautiful location
I dare to say that this is one of the most beautiful, most suitable locations that I have had the pleasure of renting for someone. ECFG regularly organizes meetings, to which I am invited as an investor every now and then as well. This is now possible at their own office. It is a beautiful central location, with parking. Hardly any adjustments are needed to ensure that it fully meets ECFG ‘s wishes. The building offers space for different ways of working. A large open office garden, which enhances synergy between colleagues. Separate areas for management. Meeting facilities, quiet rooms and a beautiful kitchen with high tables, a wonderful place for a Friday afternoon drink.”

From September 1, ECFG will open its doors at Vestdijk 57a, 5611 CA in Eindhoven. Feel free to drop by for a cup of coffee.ECFG is moving to another location.
