Market research

The CBRE Research team produces market analyses and insights that create value. 

Our reports analyse commercial real estate activity in Belgium at least annually in the office, retail, SME parks, logistics, hotel, senior housing, residential and student housing sectors.

Through our research agency, you will find accurate and correct market information. Our market insight and research methods and technology help you make strategic decisions and future projections. 

And even if you rely on CBRE's other services, from property management, investment management and property development to transaction, advisory and valuation, you will be able to count on our support. 

Mobility studies

CBRE helps developers and public authorities with mobility studies (mobility impact reports, mobility studies, parking studies, accessibility analyses, traffic simulations and forecasts...). CBRE has all the technology to measure the impact of major real estate or infrastructure projects on nearby traffic. Our research office can simulate, forecast and draw out all kinds of mobility situations.

Location analysis

CBRE’s research agency specialises in geospatial calculations, socio-economic GIS studies, smartphone analysis and passer-by counts... Would you like to know the ideal location for handling e-commerce orders, building a logistics distribution centre or where to expand your retail network? Then CBRE has the data and technology to calculate this for you.

Expansion analysis for retailers

CBRE’s research agency uses a socio-economic gravity model (also known as Huff model) to help retailers and retail property owners estimate visitor numbers, turnover figures and rents. 

Home-work traffic analysis

Organisations and companies deciding to relocate like to know in advance what the impact will be on their employees' travel times. With the CBRE Commute technology, CBRE can perform a stress analysis on the home-work travel of hundreds of employees, and of course by complying with European privacy rules.  

Consulting

  • We sell market information on sectors or submarkets, whether on a regular basis (quarterly or annually) or not.
  • We determine the highest and best use of a property or real estate project, being the determination and calculation of the scenario that will generate the greatest value in the given market conditions.
  • We perform real estate market analyses on rents, yields, vacancy and future developments for the office, retail, logistics, SME parks and residential sectors.
  • We explore new property markets, about which there is insufficient transparency.
