CBRE is pleased to announce that it has assisted Crelan in securing a new headquarters at The Arch, a cutting-edge office development in the North District of Brussels. This move marks a significant milestone for the bank as it seeks to establish a sustainable and modern work environment that aligns with its values.
CBRE's expertise in real estate advisory services played a crucial role in identifying and securing The Arch as Crelan's new headquarters. Our Occupiers Hub, consisting of the Advisory Services, Leasing, Workplace Consulting & Design, and ESG & Sustainability Solutions teams, worked closely with the bank to understand its requirements and preferences, providing a tailored solution that met its needs for a sustainable, modern, and accessible workspace.
In addition to securing the new headquarters, CBRE will assist Crelan in designing and building out their new offices, ensuring that the space meets the users’ specific needs and requirements. Earlier this year, CBRE’s Capital Markets team also successfully sold Crelan’s current headquarters in Anderlecht.
"We are thrilled to have played a key role in helping Crelan find a new home that meets its exacting standards for sustainability and location," said Friedel Laperre, Senior Director and part of the Occupiers Hub at CBRE. "The Arch is a truly exceptional building that combines a prime location with cutting-edge sustainability features, making it the perfect fit for Crelan's future growth and ambitions."
The Arch, developed by CORES Development, boasts BREEAM Outstanding and Well Platinum certifications, ensuring occupant wellbeing. The building's adaptable workspaces, green terraces, and state-of-the-art facilities make it an ideal choice for forward-thinking businesses like Crelan.
Crelan's new headquarters will be located at Boulevard du Roi Albert II 5 in Brussels, within walking distance of the North Station and the bustling Rue Neuve. The move is expected to take place at the end of 2026, after the building has been adapted to meet the bank's specific needs.
