Avira steps up expansion of corporate headquarters in Tettnang
November 10, 2010. Tettnang, Germany – Almost a year after the official construction kick-off of the company's new corporate headquarters, the second and final construction stage of the building with a total floor space of 13,600 square meters has begun. The building extension adds a total surface area of 4,400 square meters and should be finished and ready for move-in early 2012. Besides space for 140 additional workstations, the first floor of this new building will contain the company cafeteria. Also, the underground parking garage will be extended, offering an additional 32 parking spaces. The building extension will cost almost 8 million Euros.
Due to Avira's dynamic development both in international and domestic markets, the second construction phase was started earlier than scheduled. "Originally, we intended to start building the third wing of our corporate headquarters in 2015. But now it looks like we may not be able to wait any longer: We are moving into the building at the end of March 2011, almost completely filling the first section of the building. To facilitate further growth, we have now started the second construction stage," explained Tjark Auerbach, founder and CEO of Avira GmbH.
