Hexagon lays the foundation stone of the Bazuin business park

After the demolition of the vacant business buildings, Hexagon will redevelop the factory site into a vibrant, modern business park, attractive to start-ups, investors and seasoned entrepreneurs alike. The project has received a brownfield covenant from the Flemish Government, and the construction of the new public roads is being carried out with support from Vlaio. The Bazuin business park thus fits seamlessly into Hexagon’s vision of redeveloping business sites into forward-looking business parks with an open feel and a dynamic atmosphere.

"With the Bazuin business park, we are setting a new standard for sustainable business development. We are not only creating space for companies to grow, but also building a community where innovation and collaboration are central. This project is a prime example of how industry and the environment can go hand in hand, to the benefit of the whole region." Jelle Vandendriessche, Director of Hexagon.

The new business park will consist of a number of multi-tenant business buildings, comprising 69 SME units, some combined with a residence, and an office building made up of 6 units. This adds up to more than 19,851 m² of space for business.

Living and working in a strategic location

The strategic location close to the centre of Roeselare and the E403 guarantees optimal accessibility, which not only attracts entrepreneurs but also contributes to the economic growth of the region. Living, working, shopping and relaxing are all possible within walking distance of each other. The live-work units bring more ‘life’ to the business estate outside office hours and at weekends, which leads to social sustainability and smart use of space. This gives residents opportunities to expand their network and strengthens the sense of safety and social cohesion.

Sustainability and biodiversity

Architecture firm Goedefroo + Goedefroo created the sustainable design of the business park. A smart allocation of SME units ensures that every company is optimally positioned. A well-thought-out plan for layout and maintenance ensures that the sustainability ambitions are maintained in the long term. A park manager oversees the site and encourages collaboration and knowledge sharing between companies for maximum synergy. The Bazuin business park places great emphasis on green spaces and biodiversity, striving for a balance between buildings and natural elements.
This promotes a healthy living environment for people and animals and helps preserve local biodiversity. The sustainable character is further underlined by CO2-neutral construction, the use of 100% green electricity, options for solar panels and charging points, and optimised rainwater management for reuse and infiltration.

First phase

Today, Mayor Kris Declercq and Alderman Matthijs Samyn are symbolically laying the foundation stone for the first phase of the project, which comprises the first three buildings, more than half of which have already been sold. The remaining units are waiting for enthusiastic and driven entrepreneurs who want to set up here shortly after the summer holidays. Sales of the live-work units started today.
