The commercial building at Chaussée d’Ixelles 63–65 in Brussels is located in Uptown, one of two city centre retail districts in the Belgian capital.

According to Union Investment, this refurbished shopping area, which was pedestrianised in 2018, has a footfall of over nine million visitors a year and is one of the most popular shopping destinations in the city.

The commercial building was completely redeveloped in 2017 and 2018 by the vendor, Redevco, and comprises 9,409 m2 of rental space. The main tenant is discount fashion retailer Primark with 5,959 m2 of retail space split over three floors (ground floor to second floor). Its lease runs until October 2033.

The remaining 5% of the rental space is taken up by six apartments on the third and fourth floors of the building. They are let to a single tenant, Comme chez Toi, for use as social housing until March 2034.

Union Investment was advised by Stibbe, Clifford Chance and CBRE on the acquisition of the property.
