One of the most exciting and most innovative projects to hit the office market in Brussels in future years is the REALEX. It is located on the Rue de la Loi, in the heart of the European district, close to the Berlaymont, the headquarters of the European Commission.

Ideally located at the entrance of the City and along the banks of the Canal in Anderlecht, City Dox is a new district which gathers apartments, a rest home, retails, services to business and productive activities, in a green surrounding with parks and gardens. The district keeps growing : additional residential units, productive activities, services to business and a school. Following the competition launched on 4 April 2019, the jury selected the XDGA architects firm for the phased development of the next 3 blocks located along the Canal. Following a second architectural competition, on September 2020, the proposal of the association B-architecten & B-bis architecten + VELD convinced the jury unanimously thanks to the care and delicacy of the design with regard to the challenges of the project.

A new urban impetus for the South Station neighbourhood.
The South Station is one of the major gateways to the Capital of Europe. As part of an ambitious strategy, the Brussels-Capital Region approved a master plan for the neighbourhood up to 2022 and 2030, which will soon lead to an urban development master plan. A stakeholder in the outreach of the capital, ATENOR came forward as a partner by proposing the Victor project. The approach is not short on ambition: ATENOR, in partnership with BPI, plans to develop an urban block that will host an office tower and residential buildings on a common base that combines retail outlets and services.
This urban block will be crossed by a passage accessible to the public so as to connect the project better with the neighbourhood. To make it even more user friendly, the roof of the base will be designed as a hanging garden accessible from the dwellings. The stakes are high to turn this neighbourhood into a future postcard of Brussels!

ATENOR, AG Real Estate and AXA IM - Real Assets, acting on behalf of one of its clients, have signed a partnership agreement for a major development on what is currently known as the CCN site, adjacent to Brussels' Gare du Nord station.
Blessed with exceptional access to public transport (Metro and bus station are an integral part of the building, plus direct access to the Gare du Nord railway station), the project lies at the heart of a district that has recently embarked on a deep transformation. The neighborhood of the big urban railway stations, by combining density, mixity and public spaces of quality, will constitute the pillars of the development of the cities of the future. This project should be a perfect representation.
Works on the project are scheduled to begin in 2022 when the Brussels-Capital Region (which currently occupies most of the existing building) will leave the premises.

On October 25, 2019, ATENOR signed an agreement with IMMO-BEAULIEU for the acquisition of the “Beaulieu” buildings located at numbers 5-7-9-11 of the avenue of the same name in Auderghem.
These buildings date from 1993 and are occupied by the European Commission up to 31 December 2020. Notoriously obsolete, these buildings will be subject to thorough study to determine the best economic and environmental alternative for their redevelopment.
ATENOR confirms, through this additional step, its major presence in districts of prime importance in the Brussels Region.

An initial entry in the property market in Flanders. ATENOR concluded a 50-50 partnership with 3D Real Estate to develop a mixed (residential, retail and amenities) project of 32,150 m² in the heart of Deinze, on the site of the former 'Dossche' mills.
Covering an area of 2.14 ha, the site enjoys a privileged location in the city centre, near the train station and the shopping street Tolpoort. Thanks to this excellent accessibility by public transport and road arteries, the site boasts all the winning assets for quality urban development.

Last news : 22 April 2020 - filing of the single permit.
The issuance of the Single Permit is expected, taking into account the situation due to the Covid-19 crisis, by the end of the year and will be followed by a rapid start of the construction works.

ATENOR is giving a new lease of life to an old brownfield in La Hulpe, where the old paper mills had already made room for Swift. Opposite the pond, a few minutes on foot from the station, the proposed project will combine office facilities with new apartments (in the back) in the midst of a magnificent park: A sterling opportunity for ATENOR to confirm its roots in the Municipality of La Hulpe but also for the Municipality to cultivate its appeal thanks to the development of an exemplary mixed quarter.

On 23 December 2019, as part of the development of the residential part of the project, ATENOR SA has signed a partnership agreement with Immobilière du Cerf, owner of the land of more than 6 hectares directly adjacent. The objective is to develop a joint project in which the percentage of ATENOR participation is around 80%. This agreement is part of a comprehensive approach to rehabilitating the site of the Anciennes Papeteries Intermills, with a view to establishing a sustainable, intergenerational residential area, a real link between the center and La Hulpe railway station.

An office complex in the heart of a magnificent park. Back in 1997, ATENOR developed a prestige Business Park in the exceptional site of the Nysdam Estate in La Hulpe and opted to get established there. Just 15 km from Brussels, the park offers companies a relaxing and invigorating green setting at the edge of a nature reserve.

Shopping and lifestyle centre. Au Fil Des Grands Prés was initially a large shopping centre at the city's outskirts, 900 m away from the historic centre of Mons. In 2012 ATENOR launched the development of a 7.2 hectare complex of dwellings, offices and proximity retail outlets: A bod wager.
The new offices premises have been acquired by major Belgian institutions : the National Employment Office, the Walloon Regional Public Transport and the Walloon-Brussels Federation.

First project for ATENOR in The Netherlands
Ideally located in the heart of the Central Innovation District de La Haye, at the crossroads between Verheeskade dans Lulof streets in The Hague, the project includes the new construction of approximately 58,000 m2 of residential area (students' residence and apartments) with commercial units on the ground floor.

This project is developed in the frame of an agreement concluded on 2 July 2020 between ATENOR and the Dutch company TBMB for the acquisition of 50% of the shares TBMB.

ATENOR, together with Ten Brinke Vastgoedontwikkeling and Myb, has set up the project company Laakhaven Verheeskade II B.V in which ATENOR holds 50%. This company has taken over the property and development rights from several adjacent owners of the project “The Stage”.
This expansion of the project on the Verheeskade includes the demolition of the obsolete buildings and offers additional development potential of more than 100,000 m² above ground, including a mainly residential area and a lively plinth with mixed functions.
The Municipality of The Hague is pleased that it is finally possible to develop the entire program along the Verheeskade in accordance with the structural vision of the Municipality of The Hague for the Central Innovation District.

At the end of a consultation initiated by AGORA, in charge of the urban development of Belval, ATENOR was selected from among many candidates for the development of the project Square 42 located in the Central Square in the municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette.
Square 42 will offer 20,350 m² of offices and 1,250 m² of shops. Its location is both unique and strategic. Square 42 is ideally located at the crossroads of the “main office street", Porte de France, and the "main pedestrian shopping street", the cornerstone of Central Square and gateway to the Belval site.
This new project clearly highlights ATENOR's willingness to contribute, in collaboration with AGORA, to the development of innovative and large-scale real estate projects on the Belval site.

A second project for ATENOR in Belval. We were attracted by the atmosphere that reigns in Belval: a plethora of activities, talents from the world over, a unique architectural cohabitation between a proud industrial past and modernity. And when the opportunity of acquiring a second plot of land in Belval arose, we decided to develop the TWIST project there - a first mixed development of residential units and offices for ATENOR in Luxembourg!

Directly accessible from the motorway connecting Esch-sur-Alzette to the city of Luxembourg, the mixed-use Perspectiv' project will include over 350 residential units, a wide offer of shops and restaurants, offices fitted with the latest technology and high-quality public infrastructures, among which a sports hall and a sports museum.
“Living: live, work, have fun”, the mixity of functions and urban planning provisions characterize this avant-garde project that combines all the benefits and conveniences of the big city with spaces for leisure and relaxation.

Volume, light, connectivity, modularity, strategic location and zen environment: this is the DNA of the BuzzCity project in a nutshell. After our projects in Luxembourg and Belval, we opted for Leudelange and more specifically for the "AM BANN" site to establish our new connected office concept. The four buildings interlinked by a system of footbridges will offer 16,550 m² of flexible work spaces.

A smart and sustainable project thought for the wellbeing and comfort of its users, BuzzCity aims at the best-in class certifications : BREEAM Very Good and SECOCOMFORT.

BuzzCity is developed through a partnership between ATENOR and FIDENTIA.

First project of ATENOR in the Paris region. Overlooking the river, with the Défense skyline on the horizon, and the canopy of the banks of the Seine, this new urban figure that rises at the gateway of the City of Bezons has all the winning assets hoped for by a company that is in search of performance and is concerned about the well-being of its employees.
Com'Unity comprises 33,808 m² innovative and sustainable offices thought for the comfort and safety of the occupant. The project will also offer 563 parking places.
Com'Unity aims to obtain BREEAM Excellent and WELL V2 certifications.

As an extension of Com'Unity, on the banks of the Seine in Bezons, U'Man proposes 25,000 m² of innovative offices. A corporate restaurant, meeting rooms, concierge, fitness, etc. - will add up to the project to attract enterprises and talents. The design was again entrusted to the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill agency in association with the Paris bureau SRA-Architects for a harmonious development of both sites. The project complements Com'Unity's area and proposes an economic alternative to the La Défense and Saint-Denis districts for large companies looking for more than 60,000 m² of offices.

In the centre of the district of the former 1998 Universal Exhibition, today called the Park of Nations, the project envisages the development of approximately 28,000 m² of offices, 1,250 m² of shops and private and public parking spaces.
A shining example of urban renovation, the Park of Nations today houses buildings in contemporary architecture, shopping spaces, offices, concert halls, Europe’s second-biggest aquarium and a promenade along the banks of the Tagus.
Ideally located in the heart of this new urban area, the site enjoys a direct access to public transport and more particularly to the metro and the railway station linking Lisbon to Porto.

In the heart of Düsseldorf, this new mixed project provides for the renovation of a supermarket and the construction of 33 residential units and parking places. The project is situated in one of the most important arteries of the city centre, Am Wehrhahn 43, right next to the metro and a few steps away from the famous shopping street Königsallee.

16 April 2020 - Beginning of the construction works
The works will begin with the demolition of the interior of the supermarket and have been contracted to the General Contractor FLORACK. They should last about 21 months, while respecting the national sanitary constraints.

23 July 2020 - First office development project for ATENOR in Germany. The project is infrastructurally perfectly placed in direct vicinity to the metro station” Heinrichstraße” and at the traffic junction of the so-called “Mörsenboicher-Ei”. Located directly opposite to the iconic ARAG tower, thanks to its prominent location, it enjoys a remarkable visibility in the expanding university district.
The project concerns the construction of a new office building of approximately 14,000 m² for which the city of Düsseldorf has just approved, by anticipated decision (Bauvorbescheid), the possibility to rebuild this office surface. Consequently, ATENOR envisages to launch the project in the very near future.

An initial office project for ATENOR in Warsaw. Encouraged by our success in Hungary and Romania, we are consolidating our presence on growing European markets.
In May 2018, ATENOR acquired two buildings , the final purchase agreement dated on 31.05.2018, and launched the University Business Center project (UBC). The first building is going to be demolished and renamed Lakeside . The project is ideally located in the Mokotow District, next to the University of Warsaw.
True to our location criteria, we opted for a dynamic, ultra-accessible neighbourhood close to the airport.

March 2020 : Building permit submitted.
The submitted Building Permit includes the demolition of the first existing building and the construction of the new A-class building of 24,000 m² rentable area. The new building will offer a wide set of amenities for tenants including canteen and coffee corner, facilities for cyclists and charging points for electric vehicles.

In May 2018 ATENOR acquired two buildings in Warsaw. The two buildings will be developed in two independent projects, respectively called LAKESIDE and UNIVERSITY BUSINESS CENTER II.

Both buildings are located in the Mokotow district, close to the University of Warsaw. This district benefits from a dynamic environment in full evolution and represented for ATENOR an excellent opportunity to take its first steps on the Polish market.
While the first building in the project will be demolished and renamed LAKESIDE, the second retains its original name, namely UNIVERSITY BUSINESS CENTER II.
This building, more recent than the first, and BREEAM "Very Good" certified, will be temporarily maintained in its original state.
The 19,000 m² building is currently fully leased to reputable tenants such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Inc, DXC Technology Emerson Process Management and Ashland Ingredients Poland.

On 14 May 2019, ATENOR signed an agreement, through its new Polish subsidiary, relating to the acquisition of a new plot of 14,1 ha, located near the Warsaw Chopin Airport. The zoning conditions plot allow to build about 250,000 m² which will be mainly devoted to the development of offices, hotels and/or conferences and services center.
The plot enjoys very good public transport connectivity. It is located close to the main motorway network, to the airport bus station, two railway stations and to 5 bus lines. This major development is located at the start of the airport-town centre road. This “Business Corridor” is targeted by companies searching for a financially affordable alternative for their location, and offering excellent mobility.

A real commercial success, the campus plays host to prestige names such as : Genpact, DB Schenker, Luxoft, Lavalin...

Unique office space combining heritage and modernity. In the historical heart of Bucharest, ATENOR embarked on the challenge of renovating a listed villa, formerly occupied by the German representation, and a theatre with a protected historical facade, and to add a new Class A building. Dacia 1 is ideally situated at the intersection of two main arteries, Dacia Boulevard and Calea Victoriei. This ever so prized commercial avenue links in particular the seat of the Romanian government to parliament. The exceptional location of the site is an undeniable major winning asset in a very active rental market.

A decidedly smart business campus in Bucharest proposing 54,000 m² offices and retail. Ideally situated, the site is superbly accessible by road (the airport and city centre are scarcely 15 minutes away) and by public transport. Architectural performance, flexible and innovative spaces, and eco-design: the project aims for BREEAM Excellent certification.
