Media Park

Think
The Media Park is a themed business park offering a wealth of synergy due to the clustering of media-related companies. The development has a two-track approach: besides the business park, there is also an attractive visitors’ park with, among others, the Image and Sound experience: the Netherlands’ finest multimedia experience.
The Media Park is a meeting place for public and professionals, where ‘content’ is linked to infrastructure: ‘the big media switch’. Here, TCN offers business support services for both groups.

TV-recordings:
Recordings with a live audience take place almost daily. To attend a recording, you can contact the company broadcasting the programme or the producer involved.

Size:
The Media Park covers 36 hectares with 300,000 m² of buildings. A new zoning plan is being prepared, providing an additional 135,000 m².

Make
TCN is shaping the further growth of the Media Park in collaboration with KCAP architects & planners in Rotterdam. In the urban development plan, the Media Park is part of the city, as accessible to the public as possible, integrated into its environment with major emphasis on its public and green image.

Challenges:
The main challenge is to actively monitor the residential needs of media and entertainment companies. This concerns the companies already residing at the park, as well as possible new tenants. The Audiocentre, the oldest building at the Media park, will be renovated into a characteric office building with a fine ‘sixties’ atmosphere. Also, space for new buildings is available. These buildings will be shaped according to the wishes of the future occupant.

Care
The Media Park accommodates a total of 180 companies, half of which are located in the Media Centre at the heart of the park. In the Media Centre, mainly young and innovative companies reside, operating in new media. Other major organisations include broadcasters NOS, RTL Nederland, VARA, VPRO, DutchView and United Broadcast Facilities.
