What is built‑to‑suit?
A built‑to‑suit construction is a partnership in which a developer designs and builds a building tailored to one specific company. From the outset, the buyer works with the developer to find a site, determine the layout and define all technical requirements. The result is a property that perfectly fits your company's activities and growth ambitions.
Step-by-step example
- Needs assessment – a company needs a 5,000 m² logistics hall with an office. Together with their architect or adviser, they draw up a detailed brief of requirements.
- Choosing a developer – the company presents its request to a project developer such as Hexagon. The developer looks into available plots or redevelopment sites and prepares an estimate.
- Design and contract – a concept is developed that meets all wishes and complies with planning regulations.
- Construction phase – the developer delivers the project, coordinating the various contractors to achieve a finished whole.
- Handover and occupancy – ready for a fresh start in the finished building!
This approach means the client can rely on the expertise and network of an experienced construction partner to arrive at personalised, custom-built business premises.

Why choose built‑to‑suit?
- Custom design – the building is fully tailored to today's and tomorrow's needs. That means efficient logistics flows, modern offices and room for expansion.
- Fewer development tasks – the developer takes care of finding the location, the permits and the construction. The company can focus on its activities.
Points to consider with built‑to‑suit
A built‑to‑suit is custom work and requires planning. Bear the following in mind:
- Lead time – developing a new-build project can take 15 to 24 months or longer. The timing must be aligned with your future accommodation needs.
- Cost level – new construction and custom work often come at a higher price. This is offset by the comfort and efficiency of a tailor-made building and the opportunity to deploy capital elsewhere.
These points are not obstacles, but they help you set realistic expectations and make the right choices.
Built‑to‑suit at Hexagon
Hexagon is a West Flemish project developer that redevelops existing business estates into sustainable business parks. The company builds SME units as well as custom projects for entrepreneurs. Built‑to‑suit fits perfectly within this approach:
- Years of experience - Hexagon now has years of experience in building business premises that fully meet companies' wishes and needs. Think of straightforward SME units, but also offices and cross-dock logistics buildings. A reliable partner, in other words!
- Sustainable development – every project uses sustainable construction techniques and takes biodiversity into account.
- Redevelopment of existing sites – Hexagon deliberately chooses to redevelop abandoned industrial brownfields and uses space efficiently.
- Its own philosophy and architecture – buildings are designed with an eye for an inspiring look and a dynamic atmosphere.
- Collaboration with the client – the team works closely with entrepreneurs, listens to their needs and develops a project that matches their ambitions.
With more than 427,000 m² of business space developed and 98,265 m² of green space created, Hexagon has the experience and network to bring a built‑to‑suit project to a successful conclusion.
Space is scarce in Flanders, which is why Hexagon focuses on redeveloping existing sites. Built‑to‑suit is always combined with sustainable development: an old site is repurposed into a modern business estate with plenty of green. The result is a future-proof working environment that respects people and their surroundings.
Who is built‑to‑suit for?
- Growing SMEs that need specific logistics or production space.
- Companies with unique requirements such as cold storage, a warehouse, showrooms or a combination of office and storage space.
- Businesses that value sustainability and an inspiring environment.

Sustainable development
A sustainable approach is reflected in every aspect of a Hexagon project. From construction techniques and partnerships to the purpose of the project: everything is geared towards a thriving future for people and their surroundings.
Respect for the surroundings
Because we oppose urban sprawl, we select our locations carefully and leave open and green areas untouched. We invest in sustainable initiatives to give nature back its well-deserved balance and to encourage biodiversity.
Optimal use of space
Space is scarce in Flanders. That is why we focus on redeveloping existing sites and use the available space as efficiently as possible, with as many facilities as we can offer.
Our own philosophy and approach
We build forward-looking places with striking architecture and an eye for vibrant business activity. Not anonymous sites, but welcoming projects that act as incubators, so that companies can build a network and naturally strengthen one another.
