SME zone: the place for your business

For many entrepreneurs, there comes a time when their current business premises become too small. Perhaps your team is growing, your stock is increasing or you need a professional location to receive customers. In that case, an SME zone can be the perfect solution.

An SME zone is specially developed for small and medium-sized enterprises that need a strategic and efficient workplace. Here you will find modern business units, excellent accessibility and an environment where entrepreneurship takes centre stage.

For SMEs that want to buy their own SME unit, an SME zone offers not only practical advantages, but also attractive long-term investment opportunities.

What is a business estate for SMEs?

An SME zone is a business estate designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises. Instead of large industrial sites, these zones are laid out with flexible business units that perfectly match the needs of SMEs.

These zones often combine different functions: storage space, warehouses, workshops, office space and logistics facilities. Many SME zones consist of modular business units, allowing companies to grow without having to move straight away.

Why do businesses choose an SME zone?

More and more entrepreneurs deliberately choose an SME zone instead of a conventional business building. There are several reasons for this:

  • Strategic location: most SME zones are close to motorways, logistics hubs, economic centres and more. This makes the location easy to reach for both staff and customers.
  • Professional image: a modern SME zone offers quality architecture and well-maintained infrastructure.
  • Flexibility for growth: many units are modular, so you can buy extra space or combine units. That makes it easy to adapt your work and storage space.

The benefits of buying your own SME unit

Many entrepreneurs face the choice: rent or buy? More and more SMEs are choosing to buy their own SME unit in an SME zone. First and foremost, it gives you financial stability. When you rent business premises, the rent keeps rising. You also have much more freedom: you decide on the fit-out of the space and the layout of office and warehouse yourself. This gives your business more freedom in the long term.

What to look out for when buying a unit in an SME zone

Buying a unit in an SME zone is an important decision. That is why it is important to take a close look at a few factors:

  • Location: consider proximity to motorways, accessibility for customers, logistics options and future developments in the region.
  • Size of the unit: don't choose based on your current needs alone. Think about the future too: is your team growing? Will you need extra storage? Do you want to expand later?
  • Parking and logistics facilities: check whether the SME zone offers sufficient infrastructure for lorries, deliveries, visitors…

Frequently asked questions

An SME zone is a business estate specially developed for small and medium-sized enterprises. In such a zone you will find business units suitable for various activities such as storage, production, logistics or office work.

An SME unit is a compact business space within an SME zone. These units often combine different functions such as warehouse space, a workshop, office space and storage space. This combination allows businesses to organise their activities efficiently in one location.

That depends on your business strategy. If you buy a unit, you build up your own capital, you are protected against rising rents and you invest in business property. You can also sell or let the unit later if you wish.

The price of an SME unit depends on its size and level of finish. But the most important price factor in any type of property remains the location. Guide prices (excl. VAT and costs):

  • 60-80 m²: from €125,000
  • 100-150 m²: between €150,000 and €220,000
  • >200 m²: from €250,000

This is how we make our mark

At HXGN, we believe in sustainable development with respect for the surroundings. Our SME zones are built with an eye on the future.

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.
