The Belgian logistics real estate has shown great resilience in the first half of 2024. Demand for semi-industrial and logistics properties has stayed strong in recent months and prime rents are still going up, albeit at a slower rate. But what impact does the greater demand for decentralization have? And how do do floods and other increasingly frequent climate risks influence the value of logistics properties? Read all about it in our new Stadim Focus - logistics real estate in the first half of 2024.

Happy to announce Volume II of StadimFocus, our periodic real estate market analysis. In this edition, we shine a spotlight on the Belgian office market, which is currently undergoing a significant transition to better meet the demands of investors and tenants. We explore prime rents and yields in the country's major cities, with a particular focus on the capital, and delve into the sustainability drivers, frameworks, instruments, and strategies that are revitalising the market after its recent decline. Key topics include reconversion, building certifications, and investments in eco-friendly offices and workplaces that enhance employees' lives. To conclude, we provide an analysis of the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) and a comparative study that clearly demonstrates the value of this innovative carbon reduction tool in protecting real estate from stranding.

We proudly present the first edition of Stadim Focus, a market report that zooms in on a specific real estate market. This inaugural Stadim Focus examines the current logistics real estate world, providing insights into the effects of inflation stabilisation, persistent space shortages, and rising prime rents and yields. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is also becoming an integral part of this real estate sector.

Stadim en DiggitStudentLife publiceren de vierde editie van het Kotkompas. We geven een update van de Belgische studentenaantallen en de top 10 studentensteden, lichten de evolutie in huurprijzen en investeringsmarkt toe, interviewen 3 stakeholders binnen de Belgisch én Europese studentenhuisvestingsmarkt, brengen u een status rond AI en ESG én toetsen alles af aan de resultaten van onze survey met 1500 respondenten.

For the third year in a row, Diggit Studentlife and Stadim release the Kotkompas. The 2022 study shows that the shortage of (affordable) student accommodation remains acute. The Kotkompas 2022 maps the Belgian student housing market and rental price evolution. To obtain a more correct price comparison, we introduce the concept of the COT (cost of tenancy). The ESG theme increasingly dominates debates around student housing.

Last Thursday, at a delightful end-of-year dinner for alumni students of the programme, Philippe was celebrated for his contribution to the curriculum. During 25 years, he has been teaching the ins and outs of real estate valuation in his own inimitable and passionate way - a way that many real estate professionals will remember.

Every Stadim birthday we celebrate not only the colleagues but also the Stadim family. More than 50 colleagues bring their partners and children for a fun day together!

If you have identified a new project in which you would like to shelter your savings from inflation and which offers an acceptable return, here's what you need to know before taking action.

After all, the housing market continues to heat up to the point that a property is simply unaffordable for more and more young people, that real estate speculators are becoming more and more insolent, and that house hunting often becomes an epic undertaking. How did this happen and, above all, where should it go? With Hadisa Suleyman, Béa Vandendael and real estate expert Philippe Janssens, Humo brings together three generations of housing experts under one roof.

Céline Janssens gave an interview for the supplement "Investing in real estate" in De Standaard. An interesting article about investing in different types of real estate!

On 4 December 2019, KBC announced in a press release that it is considering selling the KBC Tower in Antwerp, also known as the 'Boerentoren', to a professional real estate developer.

By 2030 there will be a need for 95,000 more student homes in Belgium. This is one of the conclusions of a market study by Stadim & Diggit StudentLife. Kotkompas 2020 tries to bring greater understanding and clarity to the student housing market.
