Finally settled.

Leaving the car at THE SQUAIRE Parking. Taking my little boy to pre-school. Attending a brief meeting in the office, and a video conference at the Conference Center later on. Picking up clothes as the dry cleaner's in between, and having the car washed. Next, taking the ICE to Cologne, and returning in the afternoon. Just in time, because my little boy is waiting.

The NEW WORK CITY concept of THE SQUAIRE enables you to bring work and private life together: THE SQUAIRE is an entire city under a single roof. With short distances. Where people meet face to face. A networked city due to its great traffic connections. After all, even in times of online communication, eight out of ten business transactions are closed by shaking hands.

Richard Florida, US economist:

"The key importance of having a contemporary and flexible working environment that makes a point of harmonising job and family is backed by scientific findings."

Florida defines five developments that manifest themselves today – trends that will dislodge the global structure and permanently alter the requirements facing businesses:

Creativity provides head start
Staff knowledge and ideas are the richest capital a company can bank on.
Proximity as key factor
Personal iencounters between people enhance competitiveness.
The development of mega regions
Around the world, economic hubs are developed where airport cities play an important role.
The importance of agility
The driving force of a globalised world is a faster mobility.
The genesis of flexible working and linving environments With increasingly density of places where people congregate, new perspectives open up.

THE SQUAIRE and the NEW WORK CITY concept represent a response to these trends.
