GFA Consulting Group Expands its Headquarters

GFA Consulting Group, based in Hamburg-Volksdorf, continues to grow: In order to accomodate needed working space for what is now 250 employees, GFA is moving into a new office building at Volksdorfer Fossredder 12a. The topping out ceremony will take place on 28 September 2012.

The GFA Consulting Group’s decision to strengthen the Hamburg-Volksdorf location was made along with the owner of GbR Fossredder 12. GbR Fossredder 12 is a group of investors, with which the GFA Consulting Group works closely, that is tightly bound to the traditions of Hamburg’s forest villages.

The building was designed by the Hamburg architects LA KET. The enclosed areas of the new facade, a two-shell masonry construction with red-brown ceramic plates, will perfectly complement the existing mixture of steel and red brick. Transparent areas will be provided by triple-glazed glass.

In accordance with the wishes of the future tenant and in keeping with the style of modern Hamburg-Volksdorf, the GFA Consulting Group headquarters is being built with natural materials and energy-efficiency in mind. The main energy source of the new building is geothermal, which in the summer months will also be used to cool the top floor.

GFA Consulting Group conducts international consulting projects for a global customer base. The company has been headquartered in Hamburg-Volksdorf since 1988, and employed 974 people internationally in 2012, when the company will achieve a turnover of € 76.5 million.
