Location
The Lion Office Centre is located at junction no. 25 “Waterloo/Braine” of the Brussels motorway orbital.
Waterloo is internationally renowned. According to CB Richard Ellis, the city’s south-eastern periphery (including Waterloo, Braine-l’Alleud, La Hulpe, and Wavre) has an existing office space stock of about 350,000 m² and is favoured as a location by major international and domestic companies. Tenants in the direct vicinity of Lion Office Centre include Glaxo, Euroclear, Toyota, Europay, Swift and Regus, among others. What makes Brussels’ south-eastern periphery highly attractive is the tranquillity and peacefulness of the surrounding countryside combined with the easy accessibility of the metropolis nearby.
As the building is situated directly next to a motorway junction, it offers superior access from the orbital highway both from the direction of Paris and from downtown Brussels. Lion Office Centre is actually quite conspicuous from the orbital, and its visibility translates into added value for many office occupants. At the same time, the location is easily accessible by train. The stations in Braine-l’Alleud and Waterloo offer frequent service connections to Brussels, and several bus lines stop near the building. The commute to Brussels’ international airport takes 15 minutes, while a 20-minute commute will take you to Charleroi Airport south of town.
Building type
The asset consists of two office buildings and is surrounded by attractive private parklands. The office floor-space totals 4,536 sqm.
The two buildings have identical floor plans and the same gross lettable area. They come with 134 slots in underground and outdoor parking. The building floor plans and the technical fit-out make it easy to partition individual floors to meet the requirements of a given tenant (be it cubicles or open-plan offices).
The buildings’ fit-out is characterised by above-average craftsmanship using high quality materials such as natural stone, timber and metal. Large window expanses provide the buildings with plenty of daylight. Some of the double-glazed windows will actually open. Other highlights of the technical fit-out of either building include:
