Negotiations with Proximus for move to Tour & Taxis enter final stage
Nextensa is pleased to announce that following the successful completion of its ‘request for proposal’, Proximus has selected Nextensa as preferred bidder to conduct exclusive negotiations for the development of its Brussels campus and the acquisition of its towers at the Brussels North Station.
Proximus' decision to move its headquarters to the Tour & Taxis site is part of the 'request for proposal' launched at the end of summer 2024 by Proximus in its search for a new Brussels headquarters, either in its towers or in a new location.
Nextensa announced today that it has managed to convince Proximus to establish its headquarters on the Tour & Taxis site in the new Lake Side project and to sell the towers at the North Station in Brussels to Nextensa.
Further negotiations will now be initiated on the final transaction documentation. These final contracts are expected to be signed by Q2 2025, after which further details on the lease and sale terms will be announced.
Campus Brussels
The Proximus Campus Brussels will largely be located in office buildings to be developed in the Lake Side project, the final zone of the redevelopment of the Tour & Taxis site. Further information on the Lake Side project can be found at https://www.lakeside.brussels/.
Nextensa's proposed office buildings on the Tour & Taxis site meet the conditions Proximus set for its new headquarters. The Proximus Campus Brussels will be more than just a workplace. The campus is designed to promote collaboration, innovation and human connections. In addition, this project fits perfectly with Proximus' sustainable and forward-looking vision, which aims to strengthen digital ecosystems, maximise the well-being of employees and partners and realise positive social and environmental impacts.
The move of Proximus employees based in the Boréal building to Tour & Taxis is scheduled for the first half of 2027. By the end of the first half of 2029, all services and workplaces of the Proximus Campus will be in place.
"We are extremely pleased that Proximus has chosen Nextensa and Tour & Taxis as the new home for its employees. Proximus' arrival is a gamechanger for the site and confirms our vision to develop Tour & Taxis as a vibrant ecosystem where working, living, innovation and sustainability come together. We look forward to working with Proximus to create a workplace that encourages innovation and well-being." said Michel Van Geyte, CEO of Nextensa.
