Atenor Group (ATEB BB)

The activity of Atenor Group is real estate development. For 15 years, Atenor Group has linked together results while continuing to create know-how recognised by the market.

The strategy of Atenor Group in this activity is quite specific: it aims at contributing appropriate responses to the new requirements imposed by the development of urban and professional life through its urban planning and architectural approach. Today, it is going still further, by proposing mixed projects that provide solutions to the wider problems that concern every city dweller, such as mobility, pollution, lack of safety and respect for the environment. Within this framework, Atenor Group invests in large-scale real estate property projects meeting very strict criteria concerning the choice of the site ("prime location"), the technical quality, the costs of investment and the conditions of rental and sale.

Responding to the growing concerns about respect for the environment and especially sensitive to sustainable development, Atenor Group does not shy away from being a precursor in the application of new technologies and the use of specific materials in its new real estate projects. Atenor Group devotes a non-negligible part of its resources to the development of its projects to contribute appropriate responses to the new environmental concerns and in proposing for each project a more ecological approach.

The activity of Atenor Group is currently being exercised in Belgium in Brussels and beyond, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, but also in the countries of Central Europe, such as Hungary and Romania, with a concern for international diversification. With its varied experience, when analysing real estate projects abroad, takes care nonetheless to take its place only in cycles of development that correspond to its risk and profitability criteria.

Recently, responding to the multiple trends of the real estate market, Atenor Group has shown an interest in the residential and commercial markets, widening its area of competence at the same time. The distribution of projects currently in portfolio is 65% offices, 31% residential and 5% shops, adding up to nearly 300,000 m².

Atenor Group intends in future to maintain this assignment diversification in the light of the fundamental market trends.

Atenor Group is interested in particular in the major projects of urban planning currently being implemented by the Cities and the Regions. To the effect, Atenor Group will continue its policy of constructive dialogue with the authorities and local governments and will analyse any opportunity that conforms to those projects, with a view to investment.

Atenor Group is seen as a reliable economic player in the necessary adaptation of the urban structures in the light of economic, demographic and sociological developments.
