NEXTENSA: ANNUAL RESULTS 2024
BOLD CHOICES FOR FUTURE-PROOF REAL ESTATE
2024 marks the beginning of the realisation of Nextensa’s
sustainable investment strategy
Proximus
This translates into Proximus choosing to establish its
headquarters on the Tour & Taxis site (37,000 sqm), where the
mix of functions and innovative building projects with
high-quality, high-end architecture meets the current
sustainability requirements of amodern company.
Proximus’ decision to relocate its “Campus
Brussels” to Tour & Taxis is part of the “request for proposal”
process launched in late summer 2024 in search for a new Brussels
headquarters. The signing is expected by the end of the first
quarter of 2025.
The Bel Towers
Nextensa will also continue its sustainability journey by acquiring
a prime location next to Brussels North railway station. The
transaction is expected to be finalized by the end of the first
quarter of 2025.
The iconic Proximus towers, soon to be renamed
The Bel Towers, will be given a new, mixed-use destination.
Maximizing reuse and recycling, this outstanding new project will
play an important role in shaping Nextensa’s growth.
Sales of Knauf Shoppingcenters Luxemburg
On 13 February 2025, both Knauf Shopping Centers
(Knauf Pommerloch & Knauf Schmiede) were sold to the Wereldhave
group for a total amount of € 165.75 M. As Nextensa increasingly
seeks to position itself as a mixed developer/investor of
innercity, sustainable projects, these shopping centers became less
and less strategic for the group. In addition, this transaction
significantly reduces Nextensa’s net debt position so that full
deployment can be made on new projects. Part of the sales price
will be paid in shares of Wereldhave N.V., which will, however, be
placed with third-party investors. Nextensa is selling these
Shopping Centers at an average sales yield of 7.60%, which is in
line with the market but which means a minus value compared to fair
value of € 29 M and therefore also has a direct negative impact on
the net result (included in the line “revaluation of investment
properties”)
Divestment programme
During 2024, a profit of € 3.5 M was realised on
the sale of the retail building in Foetz (€ 9 M sales value),
office building Hygge (Luxembourg CBD) (€ 23 M sales value) and the
retail park Brixton Business Park (Zaventem, Belgium) (€ 43 M sales
value) which was sold to 5 different investors at a yield of
approximately 6.15%
Financial management
Nextensa achieves higher rental turnover (€ +1.7
M) in 2024 compared to 2023, representing a like-for-like rental
growth of +4.7%, despite several significant sales of investment
properties. Property costs decrease by € 1.5 M due to higher
occupancy rates.
“The choice made 3.5 years ago to radically
change to a mixed model of forward-looking developer/investor
focusing on mixed-use projects in predominantly urban environments
is proving to be the right one.” (Michel Van Geyte, CEO
Nextensa)
