An enjoyable project in our own city

“As a property developer, we focus on both business property and redevelopment”, says Jelle Vandendriessche of Hexagon. “Here we gave a new purpose to a run-down area with an empty farmstead by building seven flexible new units of 206 to 302 square metres, including 281 square metres of office space. We bought the site in 2021, started work in April and are already able to hand over. It was a really enjoyable project, in our own city and together with lots of local people.”

High demand

Remarkably, the project was never actually officially put up for sale. “There is a lot of demand for space to do business, despite the difficult times,” says Jelle. Soon, one last warehouse of 205 square metres will become available to let. “But precisely because of the high demand, we dared to take on another project in our own city. Along the Brugsesteenweg, behind the Hubo, we are developing Dammekouter, where there will be room for 80 entrepreneurs. Sales will start at the end of this year.”

Events agency Twice plans to swap its current premises on the Westlaan for the new building in May next year. “Our current building is worn out and no longer meets today's standards”, says managing director Peter Huyghe. “We already had a workshop here on the Beversesteenweg. Being able to bring our offices here too can only be good for the atmosphere. Another plus of this place is the location, right next to the motorway. Right now our team is busy thinking about the fit-out. It's almost a team-building exercise. On top of that, it's all hands on deck. We're incredibly busy with the last events that were postponed because of COVID. That's only good news, because our team is back up to 18 people. Due to COVID we were temporarily down to just 12. But lots of new people and a new environment make for plenty of creative ideas.”
