- Vastned NV Vastned NV (Euronext Brussels: VASTB.BR), formerly Vastned Belgium NV, operates as a public regulated real estate company (RREC) under Belgian law, specializing in the ownership, operation, and development of high-quality commercial real estate properties throughout Belgium; its core portfolio comprises prime inner-city retail properties located on top shopping streets in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, and Bruges, high-end retail parks, retail warehouses, and smaller allocations to hospitality and residential units, with properties such as Schuttershofstraat addresses in Antwerp, Steenstraat in Bruges, Veldstraat in Ghent, and various sites in Wallonia and Brussels including Louizalaan and Elsensesteenweg; the company targets vibrant city-center destinations emphasizing heritage preservation, sustainability enhancements, and mixed-use spaces blending shopping, living, working, and leisure. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Antwerp at Generaal Lemanstraat 61, Vastned NV focuses exclusively on the Belgian market following its strategic consolidation, maintaining a portfolio valued at approximately 310 million euros in fair value as of late 2023 across Flanders (72%), Brussels (19%), and Wallonia (9%), with nearly full occupancy and a balanced debt structure supporting long-term shareholder value through active management and development pipelines. In recent developments, Vastned NV completed a reverse cross-border legal merger on January 1, 2025, in which Vastned Retail N.V. merged into it, simplifying the group structure, relocating headquarters to Belgium, expanding the combined portfolio to around 1.3 billion euros across Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Spain, and optimizing operations for cost synergies; it secured 345 million euros in new long-term credit facilities from five institutions in December 2024 to refinance maturing debt ahead of the merger; additionally, it acquired Gevaert N.V. on December 24, 2024, and announced an internal merger assimilating Vastned Retail Nederland B.V. and Vastned Retail Monuments B.V. post-cross-border transaction, alongside releasing its half-year report for the first semester of 2025 confirming progress toward objectives.
