New residential project The Fairview: Home Invest Belgium

increases its rental offer with 42 quality homes

Brussels, May 2022 - Home Invest Belgium has delivered The Fairview in Sint-Lambrechts- Woluwe. In doing so, the market leader in residential rental real estate has increased its offer by 42 homes. This new construction project with energy label A also meets the company's ESG objectives. "Our scale and scope enable us to be a sustainable pioneer in the construction sector. The professionalisation of the rental market improves not only the quality of housing, but also the quality of life for all of us," says Sven Janssens, CEO of Home Invest Belgium.

This month, Home Invest Belgium, the market leader in residential rental real estate, delivered its latest residential project, The Fairview in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe. This building has a total surface area of 4,537 m2, of which 3,929 m2 are apartments s and 608 m2 are common areas. With The Fairview, Home Invest Belgium is increasing its portfolio of more than 2,400 housing units with 42 quality rental apartments, including 5 studios, 10 one-bedroom, 20 two-bedroom and 7 three- bedroom apartments. The project was realised in collaboration with the architectural firm Art & Build and the engineering firm IRS Studiebureau. The occupancy rate of The Fairview is already 50 per cent. The building is very energy-efficient, with an expected energy consumption of 44 kw/m2 per year and an EPC A label.

"As a market leader, we are continuously expanding our property portfolio. Half of it is currently less than ten years old," says Sven Janssens, CEO of Home Invest Belgium. "As a building owner, we have every interest in investing in sustainability and living comfort: we always use quality materials, and we focus heavily on the location of our buildings. We make sure that they are all close to public transport or major access roads. This new building project is a perfect example."

A green oasis in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe

The Fairview is located in the residential area of Marcel Thiry, a safe and quiet neighbourhood. As such, the building is a green oasis in the middle of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, an easily accessible area between the bustling city centre and the green outskirts of Brussels. The residential project is located on the same site as The Horizon and The Inside, two other Home Invest Belgium buildings.

The Fairview includes several common areas for its tenants. The building boasts an in-house gym, a laundry room and covered parking facilities. There is also a communal courtyard garden adjacent to the building.

"It is our stated ambition to be the 'landlord of choice'," explains Sven Janssens. "We do this by focusing on several aspects: we always create a close-knit neighbourhood feeling, we offer added value to our tenants through the communal areas and we provide an offer

tailored to each tenant, in every phase of their lives. At The Fairview, we do this by offering studios, one-bedroom flats and multi-bedroom flats."

Professionalisation of the rental market

This new construction project also fits in with the ESG objectives that Home Invest Belgium has set itself. This year, the real-estate specialist made those ambitions concrete with an ESG chapter in its annual report. In the years ahead, it aims to develop a waste management plan, carry out a feasibility study on renewable energy production and further focus on water savings.

"In the coming years, we will set additional targets and report on every step and result," says Sven Janssens. "We are aware that the construction sector has a major impact on the environment. Thanks to our scale and scope, we can certainly make a difference in this view, and we want to be a sustainable pioneer in the sector. The professionalisation of the rental market improves not only the quality of housing, but also the quality of life for all of us."

Preview of projects in Brussels, Namur and Turnhout

Now that The Fairview has been completed, Home Invest Belgium is looking ahead to its next projects. In the RQE complex, in the heart of the European district, the building in Philippe Le Bonstraat has officially opened its doors. The other two buildings, in Stevinstraat and Joseph II- straat, will also be delivered this quarter. The delivery of L'Angelot, a residential project in Namur, is scheduled for the end of 2022. In addition, the delivery of Niefhout, in Turnhout, is scheduled for the first quarter of 2023.
