Antwerp, January 14, 2025 - Facilicom Belgium, a leading facility services provider, is set to move its office from Noorderplaats to the recently renovated Montevideo project on Het Eilandje in Antwerp, in collaboration with JLL. The relocation is scheduled for spring 2025, coinciding with the project's planned completion.
The Montevideo project is a striking combination of historical heritage and modern architecture. DCA and LIFE have transformed the former warehouse into a multifunctional complex, preserving the building's protected facade while creating a state-of-the-art interior.
Facilicom is another prominent tenant choosing this project, thanks to JLL, where Tomorrowland's offices will also be located.
Steven Peeters, Head of Office Agency Flanders at JLL, commented on the development: "The arrival of Facilicom and Tomorrowland, among others, to the building will bring additional culture and experience to the neighborhood, especially since well-known names like Opera Ballet Vlaanderen and the Red Star Line Museum are already established there."
The Montevideo project offers a unique working environment, combining historical elements such as original cobblestones and cast-iron pillars with modern amenities. The complex includes office spaces, luxury apartments, and areas for retail and hospitality. A two-story underground parking garage provides 300 spaces, part of which is available for public and neighborhood parking.
Facilicom, active in the Belgian market for 50 years, is anchoring itself in Antwerp's business landscape as a local, integrated facility services provider. The move reflects its vision to be part of Antwerp's evolving business environment and to offer its employees a dynamic, culturally rich work environment.
Kris Van Strydonck, General Director of Facilicom Belgium, stated: "For Facilicom, this is a resolute choice for a sustainable future in an environment where innovation and experience are central. These are three elements that closely align with Facilicom's identity as a company."
The relocation aligns perfectly with Facilicom's vision and strategy regarding employee wellbeing and workplace experience. The new office will be designed with an open and dynamic layout, meeting the highest standards of sustainability. It emphasizes workplace experience, sustainable solutions, and flexible workspaces, perfectly matching Facilicom's reputation as a reliable and sustainable facility partner that brings applied inspiration.
As completion nears, the Montevideo project symbolizes successful urban redevelopment, preserving Antwerp's maritime heritage while creating a vibrant new center for business and culture. Facilicom's upcoming move marks an inspiring new chapter for the company and further confirms Montevideo's status as a prominent office building in Antwerp.
