Befimmo signs an agreement
with Beobank for the occupancy of a tower of about 22,000 m² in the
Quatuor (60,000 m²), in state of future completion, for a fixed
term of 15 years
Befimmo announces the signing of an
agreement* with Beobank on the occupancy of a tower of about
22,000 m² in the Quatuor project (60,000 m²), located at
the corner of the inner ring road and the Boulevard du Roi Albert
II in Brussels. The agreement provides for the building to be made
available for a fixed term of 15 years as from its delivery in the
course of 2020. Within this framework, the current lease of Beobank
in the La Plaine building, located in the decentralised area of
Brussels, will be extended until that date.
The Quatuor, which will replace the current Noord
Building**, will benefit from a strategic location in the North
area of Brussels, facing the city centre, close to the metro and
the Gare du Nord. Consisting of four autonomous office buildings
that form an architectural unit, the project was designed to ensure
very extensive flexibility in terms of occupation. It meets the
highest quality, innovation and environmental performance
standards. Befimmo aims for a BREEAM "Excellent" certification in
the Design phase for this passive*** project.
The environmental permit was delivered in February
2017. Following the unanimous favourable opinion of the
Concertation Committee, the town planning permit is expected in the
course of March.
"This fine transaction with
Beobank confirms the appeal of the North area and the quality of
Befimmo's projects. We wish to thank Beobank, a faithful tenant for
nearly 25 years, for its confidence, and are convinced that this
new cooperation will be a success. Within the framework of the
services**** we provide for our customers, we support Beobank
in the follow-up and the realisation of the initial installation
works", says Benoît De Blieck, CEO of Befimmo.
A third of the Quatuor project is thus pre-let
more than 3.5 years before its delivery.
The Quatuor project opens the path to the renewal
of the North area of Brussels, illustrated by the arrival of major
"corporate" tenants, who have committed to take up office space in
the 2020s.
