Investment strategy

Building tomorrow’s housing today

At Next Day, we’re attuned to the evolving landscape of the real estate market, driven by demographic changes, societal shifts, and the urgent need for affordable & sustainable living solutions. ​ Our investment strategy is crafted to respond to these dynamics, focusing on creating value through eco-friendly and efficient housing developments. Here’s how we’re positioning ourselves in the face of these trends:​

Population growth and housing demand

Significant population increases are anticipated across Belgium, Luxembourg, and France by 2050, with Belgium needing more than 30,000 more homes annually and France requiring 400,000 new homes per year by 2030. This, combined with an increase in households, highlights a growing demand for sustainable housing solutions.​

Navigating market shifts

The rise in property prices and interest rates is shifting demand towards rental properties, while overleveraged developers present a ripe opportunity for investment in repriced assets.

The stability of Belgium’s real estate market, supported by wage indexation and cautious banking practices, makes it an attractive opportunity for sustainable investments. It serves as an ideal starting platform for expansion within a two-hour radius into Luxembourg and northern France, where there is a high-potential intersection of demographic growth and a shortage of ESG-compliant housing.

Transforming land challenges into opportunities

The scarcity of building land, exacerbated by a 21% reduction in new building space and regulatory measures like the prohibition to convert agricultural land into buildable land and to limit soil consumption because of new construction (like ‘Betonstop’ in Flanders, the north region of Belgium, and soon Wallonia, the southern region) poses a challenge.

However, it also opens up opportunities in less intensely built areas such as Wallonia, in the southern part of Belgium towards Germany, France and the Netherlands, where potential for growth and investment remains high.

Pioneering sustainable and innovative housing

We are committed to reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing energy efficiency in our properties, aligning our efforts with the latest in green technology energy. Our innovative approach includes utilizing wood construction for better insulation, regeneration of materials, and ensuring all new properties achieve a minimum A energy efficiency rating, mostly aiming at A+ and A++.

Innovative green tech for housing

Beyond traditional methods, we are actively exploring various technologies to aid in our goal for green energy efficiency and creation, constantly on the lookout for new green tech solutions to implement in our housing developments.

Fostering resilient and engaging communities

Designs for well-being and community

Our aim is not just to meet immediate housing needs but also to significantly improve living standards through designs that promote mental well-being and foster community engagement.​
