In this episode, we talk to Vincent Schobbens, founder and chairman of Growners, a group specialising in the purchase, sale and rental of office buildings.
Key points covered:
- Vincent Schobbens' background: A graduate of the Solvay business school, Vincent began his career in banking in Luxembourg before returning to Belgium to work in real estate.
- The creation of Growners: a company set up in 1999, initially focusing on residential property before specialising in offices from 2007.
- Growners' unique model: buying office buildings and selling them "off". Growners operates in a niche market to enable companies to own their own offices, while offering its investors a much higher return than residential property.
- Changes in the selection factors for office buildings: price, location, condition of the property and the growing importance of energy performance.
- The Riverside in Anderlecht: energy-efficiency renovation of an office building located in a business park in Anderlecht, just on the border with Sint-Pieters Leeuw, to make it more energy-efficient and raise its EPB label from D to B, which will enable the offices to be re-let and then sold off individually or in blocks.
- Loan with capital and interest insured at 7 % gross: An opportunity for BeeBonds investors with capital and interest insurance (gross annual rate of 7.00 % for 36 months).
