Brussels commercial real estate market, fall 2025

Mesh-immo Analysis

Brussels remains a key location for commercial real estate in 2025. The capital attracts institutions, regional headquarters, and players in commerce or logistics seeking to establish themselves in the heart of Europe. The market today shows a clear evolution: companies prioritize the quality, flexibility, and sustainability of their spaces.

Offices: The Rise in Quality of Professional Spaces

The Brussels office market is moving towards renovated, certified, and well-located properties. Demand is no longer focused on quantity but on quality: energy performance, flexible layouts, and brand image. The most active areas remain the European Quarter, Central Station, Louise, and Léopold, where modern buildings display high occupancy rates. In contrast, obsolete buildings require renovations to remain competitive.

For Mesh-immo, the priority is to support companies in finding solutions tailored to their organization: modular spaces, flexible leases, and sustainable work environments. This approach allows for a combination of economic efficiency and attractiveness for teams.

Shops: Selective Revitalization and New Expectations

The Brussels retail sector is undergoing a transformation. Main thoroughfares maintain their appeal, while some peripheral neighborhoods are reinventing themselves with local shops and hybrid concepts. Brands are now seeking visible, easily accessible spaces capable of accommodating multiple uses: sales, showrooms, light storage, or dining. Average spaces between 80 and 150 m² remain the most in demand, and leases are negotiated with more flexibility to encourage new establishments.

At Mesh-immo, we emphasize the value of location above all: pedestrian traffic, visibility, and coherence between the type of space and the target audience.

Warehouses and Urban Logistics: Scarcity Creates Value

The logistics segment remains one of the most dynamic in the market. Demand for warehouses of 500 to 3,000 m², close to the ring road or major routes, often exceeds the available supply. The rise of e-commerce and the need to bring stock closer to delivery areas reinforce the importance of intra-urban and peri-urban locations. Users primarily seek heavy vehicle access, functional parking, sufficient usable height, and flawless technical compliance.

For owners, this represents a real opportunity: a modernized logistics property, even of average size, finds tenants quickly.

A More Selective but Promising Market

The Brussels professional market is now structured around three essential criteria: location, technical performance, and contractual flexibility. Assets that meet these requirements appreciate quickly, while outdated properties experience increasing depreciation. Investors now favor transformable buildings capable of evolving with market needs.

This selectivity creates a favorable environment for players capable of anticipating changes: energy modernization, modularity of spaces, and adaptation to new uses.
