ATENOR COMMITS TO SUSTAINABLE RENOVATIONS WITH

NAGELMACKERS HQ PURCHASE IN BRUSSELS

ATENOR SA, via its subsidiaries Highline SA and Soap Factory SA, has purchased the Nagelmackers headquarters on Avenue de l'Astronomie 23, 1210 Saint-Josse-Ten Node in central Brussels and its adjoining land parcel on Rue Potagers 15-29, 1210 Saint-Josse-Ten Node from a subsidiary of Deka Immobilien Investment.

The landmark 8.500 sqm office property is located in the most prestigious corner of the ring road, overseeing the former meteorological institute as well as being a vantage point with outstanding 360° views around Brussels directly onto the Botanique quarter as well as the EU quarter. Highline will become an outstanding fully re-stripped office project once the Belgian Bank Nagelmackers leaves early 2023. Its strategic location faces the quiet and calm Henri Frick park and corners the borders of the EU quarter and Pentagon quarter.

Furthermore, the main classic front building is linked to the annexed property both linked by a serene garden. A heavy green renovation will be foreseen for the office properties, in line with ATENOR's sustainability policy. BREEAM "Excellent" will be a minimum target for Highline whilst material reuse, circular economy, nearly-zero energy-efficiencyand taxonomy alignment will be key principles in the re-design and studies which will be imminently launched for the Highline office project.

Additionally, the acquisition by Soap Factory SA involved the 872 sqm adjacent land parcel backing onto the Rue Potager which currently occupies overground parking and will serve part of a future residential study.

«We are extremely proud to be urban developers and strongly believe in the changes that Brussels is going through. With the acquisition of the Nagelmackers site, a renowned landmark property in this important vantage point, the reconversion and new-build combination was quite rare in today's market, so we knew immediately this deal would tick many boxes for ATENOR» Sheelam Chadha, Country Director for ATENOR commented. «Thanks to Deka, we were able to easily collaborate and conclude this deal together. Additionally, we strongly believe in the Brussels real estate market and this deal will be one of many which shows our commitment to urban regeneration in Brussels» Chadha continued.

Clifford Chance and Treex assisted ATENOR in the acquisition. ATENOR Belgium currently has around 300.000 sqm of development pipeline ongoing. Highline and Soap Factory will be its 10th and 11th project in Belgium.
