De Onderneming Sector: Commercieel Vastgoed Locatie: België, brede Vlaamse Rand Onze klant is een vastgoedvennootschap gespecialiseerd in verhuur en beheer van perifeer winkelvastgoed in België 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 1 miljard euro, en heeft het statuut van openbare gereglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap (GVV). Onze klant is marktleider binnen de niche van perifeer winkelvastgoed en had per 30 september 2021 988 panden in portefeuille, gelegen in België en Nederland, met een totaal verhuurbare winkeloppervlakte van 1.176.886m². De bezettingsgraad van deze panden, gemeten in verhuurde m², bedroeg 97,61%. De reële waarde van de geconsolideerde vastgoedportefeuille werd per 30 september 2021 door onafhankelijke vastgoeddeskundigen geschat op 1.725,16 mio EUR. 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.
