Marquis Building Brussels
The take-up of this prestigious tenant represents almost 3,000 m² on the 7th floor, and this for a fix 9 years lease agreement.
The 30,000 m² of the Marquis knew a large esthetic and technical metamorphosis presented during the opening in May 2009.
From its re-designed façade to the impressive glass roof in the reception area, the Marquis has charmed its new tenant thanks to its great visibility besides the Cathedral of Ste Gudule and its exceptional localization. Being at walking distance from the central station and the many possibilities of public transport allowing a wide connection towards the national and international networks contributed to the choice of Fortis Holing.
Moreover, the building offers its tenant a full optimization of the office spaces through flexible, effective and naturally luminous floors.
With this transaction, AEW Europe, a leading European real estate investment adviser, confirms its intention to propose the "Marquis Building Brussels" to potential tenants as from 1,200 m² onwards. At the present time, the owner is confident and confirms that offers are emitted for new interested potential tenants and hopes to conclude the ongoing negotiations successfully within a near future.
The commercialization of the building was entrusted to the care of Catella Property and Jones Lang LaSalle.
