Onze klant is een vastgoedvennootschap gespecialiseerd in verhuur en beheer van perifeer winkelvastgoed in België en Nederland. Ze is marktleider in de 3 regio’s waarin ze investeert (Vlaanderen, Wallonië en Nederland). Zij verwerft deze onroerende goederen van derden of bouwt en commercialiseert winkelpanden voor eigen rekening.
Het bedrijf is genoteerd op Euronext Brussels en Amsterdam, met een beurswaarde van circa 850 mio euro, en heeft het statuut van openbare gereglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap (GVV).
Onze klant had per 31 maart 2022 987 panden in portefeuille, gelegen in België en Nederland, met een totaal verhuurbare winkeloppervlakte van 1.177.577m². De bezettingsgraad van deze panden, gemeten in verhuurde m², bedroeg 97,83%.
De reële waarde van de geconsolideerde vastgoedportefeuille werd per 31 maart 2022 door onafhankelijke vastgoeddeskundigen geschat op 1.759,88 mio euro.
De belangrijkste doelstelling voor onze klant is het samenstellen, beheren en uitbreiden van een gediversifieerde portefeuille perifeer winkelvastgoed, die door locatiekeuze en de kwaliteit en diversificatie van de huurders op lange termijn een bestendige groei verzekert. De vooropgestelde groei betreft zowel de waarde van het patrimonium als de inkomsten die uit de verhuring gegenereerd worden.
Op korte termijn worden de bovengenoemde doelstellingen nagestreefd door de bewaking van de bezettingsgraad van de portefeuille, het huurincasso en de onderhoud- en beheerskosten. Door het selectief aankopen en bouwen van winkelpanden op zorgvuldig uitgekozen locaties (zgn. retailclusters en retailparken) wordt beoogd het beheer van de portefeuille te vereenvoudigen en de waarde op te drijven. Op dit ogenblik hebben zij 78 clusters geïdentificeerd waar het zijn investeringen systematisch opdrijft. Deze vertegenwoordigen 68,55% van de portefeuille.
Sinds 2017 breidde onze klant zijn investeringen uit naar Nederland waar ze marktleider zijn met een portefeuille van ongeveer 500 mio euro. Dit heeft een belangrijke groei en verhoogde interesse van buitenlandse investeerders met zich meegebracht en het is de ambitie om de komende jaren in te zetten op verdere expansie, mogelijks internationaal.
