CBRE exclusively advised on Belgium’s largest, single-brand fashion letting transaction

CBRE Belgium’s Retail team proudly acted as exclusive advisor to Meir Corner, a strategic partnership between Tans Urban Landmarks and Urbicoon, on the letting of their prime, ± 14,500 m² retail property along the Meir to Zara, marking a significant milestone in the retail landscape of Antwerp. The property is set to house Zara’s future Antwerp flagship store and world’s largest store.

Situated along the iconic high street Meir, known for its vibrant shopping scene and historic architecture, Zara’s future flagship store will span approximately 14,500 m² retail space across three levels. The current store is located 200 m away from the new location. The Meir is renowned for its bustling atmosphere, attracting both locals and tourists alike, making it the perfect location for this stunning flagship store. Zara has chosen Antwerp for its renowned reputation as the "city of fashion," where innovative style and cultural richness intersect.

“We are definitely proud and thrilled to bring the world's largest Zara to Antwerp, which will not only enhance the shopping experience on the Meir but also set a new standard for retail in Belgium," said Sébastien Vander Steene, Senior Director and Head of Retail Belgium. "We would like to thank Meir Corner, namely Tans Urban Landmarks and Urbicoon, for their trust and the seamless collaboration on this transaction and look forward to the completed project."

This development will not only feature the largest Zara in the world but will also become one of the largest single-brand textile and apparel stores globally, making it the most significant retail letting transaction ever conducted in Belgium.
