ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition sustainable housing project Jardin Leopold - Brussels - Belgium
Home Invest Belgium acquired the Jardin Leopold development project in Brussels (Laeken) in January 2025. The transaction concerns the acquisition of a site with 2 old warehouses and a building permit. Home Invest Belgium will realise a new build project consisting of 56 units. The total investment in the project will amount to approximately € 18.0 million. The gross initial yield is estimated at around 4.7%. The project is expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.
RENOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Delivery of Jourdan 95 - Brussels - Belgium
In March 2025, Home Invest Belgium completed the Jourdan 95 residential project in Brussels (Saint-Gilles). The project consists of 48 sustainable rental residential units strategically located between Porte de Halle and Avenue Louise in Brussels.
At the end of 2022, HOMI received a permit to transform an outdated office building into high-quality rental housing.14 The result is a modern complex of 48 units spread across six floors. The units range from efficient studios to spacious four-bedroom apartments, with many having private terraces. In addition, the building offers a communal gym, a laundry room, bicycle storage and 55 underground parking spaces. On the ground floor, residents have a communal garden, while a nursery is already in use, adding to the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
The choice to renovate the existing building instead of demolishing it fits perfectly with HOMI's sustainability objectives. This approach significantly reduces the ecological footprint.
This project was carried out in collaboration with the architectural firm A2RC.
13 The average occupancy rate represents the average percentage, over a given period, of the contractual rents of the leased premises, in relation to the sum of the contractual rents of the leased premises plus the estimated rental value of the unleased premises. The occupancy rate is calculated excluding (i) buildings under renovation, (ii) buildings that are being placed on the market for the first time and (iii) buildings for sale.
14 See press release dated 16 September 2022: "Home Invest Belgium obtains building permit for Jourdan project in Saint-Gilles".
Sustainability and quality of life were at the heart of the renovation of Jourdan 95. The building is heated entirely without the use of fossil fuels. Domestic hot water and heating are produced by 3 collective air-water heat pumps. About 100 solar panels provide green electricity production. The houses have an estimated average primary energy consumption of 42 kWh/m²/year (energy label A).
Progress City Dox (Lot 4) - Brussels - Belgium

At the end of the leasehold rights, UCL (as the grantor) has the option to:
Either pay HOMI the market value of the structures;
Or extend the building rights for a term of 49 years in the form of a leasehold.
UCL has informed HOMI that it will not extend the leasehold rights and will therefore opt for payment of the market value of the structures. Based on external valuation reports, the market value of the structures is estimated at approximately € 50 million.
On 7 June 2026, the contractual rents from the leasehold rights will lapse and HOMI will have a claim against UCL for the market value of the structures. The annual contractual rents on these buildings amount to € 4.2 million on 30 June 2025.

For the coming years, the board of directors foresees a distribution policy based on an annual increase equal to or higher than the long-term inflation. The Board of Directors bases this on:
the constant indexed rental flow from existing investment properties;
monitoring the operational costs of the company;
the company's hedging policy, which provides good visibility on interest charges and makes them assessable in the medium term;
the existing pipeline of project developments.
The board of directors also points to the significant reserves that the company has built up over the years as a safety cushion for the future.
During the first half year of 2025, the operational results of Home Invest Belgium continued to developed positivly.
The residential rental market continues to grow steadily in those cities where Home Invest Belgium is active, mostly thanks to:
a long-term urbanisation trend, marked by demographic growth in big cities, including both young and older people, leading to increased demand for housing;
an increasing number of tenants in big cities, due to factors including an increasing need for flexibility and a change in attitudes towards private property and concepts of urban sharing.
Home Invest Belgium owns a sustainable portfolio given its young age. More than 50% of the investment properties available for rent are younger than 10 years. Given the quality and the location of the properties in predominantly large urban areas, Home Invest Belgium is well positioned to take on a leading role in the favourable trends of the residential market.
Given this background, The Board of Directors confirms its confidence in the long-term perspectives of the company.
For 2025, Home Invest Belgium expects an increase of the EPRA earnings per share to € 1.20 (compared to
€ 1.16 in 2024).
