PRESS RELEASE
alstria opens 'The Spot', an innovative Fintech location in the centre of
Frankfurt
- Leading incubator, Fintech start-ups, an investor and a well-known
international M&A boutique are tenants in 'The Spot'
- 'Beehive', the supplier of next generation co-working spaces supports new

Frankfurt, April 6, 2017 - alstria, the leading German office property
operator, is launching a new Fintech innovation center ' The Spot' in the
heart of Frankfurt with the aim of promoting and enhancing the city's
leadership in Fintech. Tenants are a mix of young, technology-driven
companies in the Fintech environment as well as more established players,
which aim at providing an attractive mix of innovation and experience. The
tenants mix is complemented by a next generation co-working space.
The 3,200 sqm building located in Mainzer Landstrasse 33, will be rebranded
as 'The Spot' and entirely dedicated to Fintech. It is ideally located
between the main central station and the central banking district. Start-ups
will benefit from this location which offers both short way access for their
clients, but also a vibrant life and atmosphere in the surroundings.
The main tenants in 'The Spot' are main incubator, the leading Fintech
incubator of the Commerzbank Group, and start-up companies such as Ginmon
and Billwerk, the fintech-investor Digital+Partners and the Frankfurt office
of Clairfield, a leading international finance and M&A boutique.
'The Spot' will also host a new ' Beehive' space. This is a 24/7, next
generation, fully automated co-working space, which offers affordable and
flexible office space. Co-working desks can be rented for as short as one
day, and starting prices are at EUR 3.97/day [1]. Private offices are also
available, for teams up to four people, and can be booked for as short as
one week. 'Beehive' offers to its member access to its full network across
the major German cities. 'Beehive' also provides several meeting rooms that
can be used by the co-working community as well as all the other tenants in
'The Spot'. 'Beehive' is supplemented by an online community
(http://community.beehive.work/), which enables entrepreneurs to exchange
ideas, to market their own company or to search for new talents. Online
community-sponsor for Frankfurt is the main incubator.
'We are strong believers in the synergies that can be built in an
environment like 'The Spot'' says Olivier Elamine, CEO of alstria. 'We are
strong believers in the key importance of the creation of an eco-system that
allows companies to share ideas and help unleash further innovation
potential. The combination of a co-working space, a leading incubator and
start-up companies will help doing just that'.
''The Spot' is an ideal addition to Commerzbank's already extensive Fintech
commitment, which has been a platinum partner of the tech quarter in
Frankfurt since 2016,' says Christian Hoppe, founder and CEO of main
incubator. 'Here, we can better understand the trends and needs of the scene
through a close exchange with the Fintech actors in the house and the
co-working space'.
