INNOVATION
As a major player on the Belgian real estate market, Cofinimmo
has a duty to be a visionary and to drive the debate on the
real future real estate needs. The company must adapt to the
world of the future and integrate the society’s major trends
into its strategy or risk seeing its buildings become rapidly
obsolete, endangering its economic sustainability. Innovative
solutions are needed to create new growth opportunities and
sustain the existing portfolio.
With this in mind, a think tank consisting of 13 people from
different business segments began working in early 2015,
focussing mainly on the office segment. Taking into account
the new construction techniques and new, more sustainable
technologies, the group has submitted various proposals in
keeping with the needs of the office tenants-clients with a
view to reducing the portfolio’s rental vacancies, lengthening
the offices’ operating cycle and facilitating their operation.
