On 27/04/2016 a usufruct agreement, for a fixed and irrevocable term of 21 years, was concluded with the European Parliament relating to the office building Montoyer 63 in 1000 Brussels that will be redeveloped. As of the date at which the current lease with the European Parliament ends, the building will be entirely demolished and rebuilt.
The building will comprise 6,052 m2 state-of-the-art office space and will meet the high technical demands expected by the lessee. Montoyer 63 is located in the Leopold district, amidst the European institutions, where there is currently a lack of new high-quality office buildings. The urban permit has been granted at the beginning of 2016 and the objective is to obtain a BREEAM 'excellent' certificate for this building at reception, foreseen in Q3 2018, date at which the usufruct agreement will enter into force. The European Parliament will house its training center in this brand new and centrally located building.
CBRE intervened in the realization of this transaction.
Jean-Louis Appelmans, CEO of Leasinvest Real Estate: "The realization of this important agreement is again a confirmation of the quality of the buildings in our portfolio. It also demonstrates how important targeted and specific real estate offers have become. We are very pleased with this deal that will substantially increase the duration of our portfolio."
