Antonissen Development Group is repurposing an existing wing of the Vogelzang nursing home in Leuven into a high-quality student residence with 84 student rooms. The site is strategically located near the UCLL and Campus Gasthuisberg, two important campuses for Leuven’s student population. The City of Leuven granted planning permission in record time due to the clear social impact and widespread support from the local community.
For most people purchasing a property is far more than a simple transaction. It is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions of their lives. It is also a decision that involves many layers: financial planning, lifestyle choices, long-term security, and often family considerations. That is why professional guidance throughout the buying journey has become increasingly important. Buyers want transparency, expertise and reassurance that they are making the right decision — not only financially, but also in terms of quality of life. At Antonissen Lux, this philosophy shapes the way we partner with our clients throughout every step of the home-buying journey.
CIB, the association of real estate professionals, has stressed the structural shortage of rental properties for several years already, but recently a historic low was recorded. Financial daily De Tijd remarked that; Anyone who advertises a high-end dwelling online can expect to get dozens and even hundreds of enquiries within 24 hours; in the wake of the publication of the latest rental barometer.
Anyone who has read our case study on SME real estate will know that industrial land is becoming increasingly scarce. Available sites often have an industrial past. The site in Halle, where the outline of De Stokerij will soon become visible, was no different in this respect. With 41 SME units in six buildings, this business park ticks all the boxes for entrepreneurs looking for a strategic location. The flexible units (106 to 390 m², clear height 6.5 m) are suited to a wide range of activities, from warehouse to showroom or workshop. Besides being a home base for entrepreneurs, De Stokerij also has a positive impact on the surrounding area and the environment.
Belval is often called the city of the future. Originally, its skyline was dominated by the blast furnaces of the steel industry. In recent years, however, the area has become a textbook example of future-forward transformation and urbanisation. The district is home to major financial players, while the University of Luxembourg draws thousands of students, academics and expats, with a growing number of start-ups and innovative companies in their wake. A new project, called B-Hive, is now slowly taking shape within this rapidly transforming district.
As we close 2025, we would like to express our sincere appreciation. Our growth and achievements would not have been possible without the trust and commitment of our clients and partners. Thank you for the pleasant collaboration. We remain available to you throughout the holiday season.
