SmartUnit
Reshaping
Real Estate
SmartUnit is a private investment fund investing in light industrial real estate.
We acquire, develop and reconvert “SmartUnits” in or close to major Belgian cities. We rent out our SmartUnits to various types of companies.
SmartUnits are for multi-functional use, like urban logistic activities, last-mile-distribution, wholesale or assembly.
We offer SmartUnits for rent, starting from 150 m² up to
as many square meters as needed.
Our focus
Reshaping, boosting, revitalizing light industrial sites.
Offering attractive working environments that are catalysts for innovation, collaboration and economic growth.
SmartUnit builds new light industrial sites and reconverts older light industrial sites into modern SmartUnits.
We focus on well-being@work: a green environment, inside day light, bike sheds, solar panels, charging stations, community building and much more!
We help creating a working environment tailored to your needs where you and your employees can be proud of.
We are reshaping light industrial real estate. Creating attractive and sustainable buildings, with a distinctively fresh SmartUnit look and feel for your teams to feel proud of their working environment.
During the reconversion of old industrial property, SmartUnit preserves attractive historical elements such as roof structures, columns and old masonry. Our semi-industrial real estate therefore lends itself to purely traditional-industrial use or storage as a showroom or event location. When developing new buildings, we pay a lot of attention to the Smart look & feel of our sites.
Even in often harsh semi-industrial environments, we provide a typical qualitative and sustainable “SmartUnit Look & Feel” with attention to well-being and quality landscaping. We create a working environment where you and your employees, as well as ourselves, can be proud of.
Just like you, as a young company, we will keep evolving, adapting our offer to our clients demands, to your own demands, with the ambition to rapidly expand our range of buildings where our customers need them the most.

Do you currently own your semi-industrial building, but you wish to restructure your company and free up financial resources to further develop your company ? Feel free to come for a coffee!
SmartUnit is also the ideal partner when you are looking for a solution for your company real estate in the context of a business takeover. If your company buyer is not interested in taking over the property, we can acquire the property and provide a suitable solution for all parties involved.
At SmartUnit, it is always about thinking our future together, because it will only make our mutual development Smarter.
