Central Park Tower In The Netherlands Now Complete

GROUP A has completed the 90-m-high Central Park, a sculptural office tower centrally located in the vibrant Utrecht Station Area in the Netherlands, Arch Daily reports. The tower is named after the two-story indoor subtropical park that marks the building’s 45-m line. The park is enclosed by a receding glass façade. By making the indoor park the building’s central feature, GROUP A adds a landmark to the city’s skyline and establishes a new standard for green office buildings. The semipublic lush green park offers a workspace, meeting center and café. The 23-story building has a BREEAM Excellent design certificate. Central Park is expected to be “Paris Proof” in terms of energy consumption and, thereby, ahead of the Paris climate goals of achieving energy neutrality by 2050. Central Park’s double-height ground floor connects seamlessly to The Forum, an elevated landscaped square around Utrecht Central Station. In tune with The Forum’s earthy palette of materials, also designed by GROUP A, Central Park’s bronze-colored façade adds warmth and elegance. With its smooth transition to The Forum, Central Park is well connected to Utrecht Central Station, Central Business District, and the city center.
