Development

Cofinimmo carries out large and middle-scale renovations of our properties with a view to letting and maintaining them in our portfolio over the long term. This means we can offer our customers high quality properties of durable construction, whilst keeping down maintenance costs.

Major projects in progress include:

1. Nursing homes

Cofinimmo continously conducts (re)development projects within the healtcare sector allowing to assist the operators in their expansion. In 2012, the major construction/renovation works carried out in the homes were Suzanna Wesley(Brussels), Noordduin(Coxyde), Lucie Lambert (Halle), Brise d'Automne & Chêne (Ransart), la Quiétude / Les VII Voyes (Dédrin), De Mouterij (Alost), Solva (Alost), les Jours Heureux (Lodelinsart), Zonnetij (Aartselaar) and Vishay(Brussels). Several construction and renovation works are already planned for 2013.

2. Offices

Tervuren 270-272, Brussels

Middle-scale renovation significantly improving the energy performance of this building.

Livingstone I-II, Brussels

Cofinimmo will renovate this 35,000m² building site comprehensively in 2012 to convert it into a mixed project (residential/offices). For the residential part (Livingstone I, 16,000m²) Cofinimmo endeavours to obtain K-level 30 and E-level 60. The functional structure of the property, its energy performance and environmental targets led this project to the nomination in the competition for 'the conversion of inoccupied offices into residential properties' organised by the Region of Brussels.

Woluwe 34, Brussels

Cofinimmo had decided to carry out the complete renovation of the Woluwe 34 office building, located on Bd de la Woluwe in Brussels. The office building will be reconverted into appartments, leaving the option of creating retail outlets and limited office space on the ground floor. Delivery is scheduled for Q3 2014.

 

3. Public-Private Partnerships

Prison, Leuze-en-Hainaut

Cofinimmo is part of the consortium Future Prisons which will build the new prison in Leuze-en-Hainaut (expected delivery date at the end of 2013). The consortium aims BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.

Student residence, Brussels

Cofinimmo has undertaken to carry out major renovation works on a student residence located in Brussels and rented to the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Brussels university) for 27 years. Delivery is scheduled for Q3 2013.

4. Future development projects

Science 15-17, Brussels

Cofinimmo has decided to completely redevelop this property. The company has opted for a mixed project in order to make it a flagship property in the rue Belliard.
Objectives amongst others are obtaining a 'Very Good' BREEAM certificate and participating with this project in the IBGE contest 'Exemplary Building 2011'.
