Equilis Belgium announces the completion of the sale of 100% of the shares in the company that owns the retail park Shopping Lessines to a private investor.
Developed on a former brownfield site, Shopping Lessines this project exemplifies Equilis’ commitment to sustainably revitalizing unused spaces and transforming them into vibrant places for living and socializing. Opened in 2024, the retail park features a total of 6,800 m² of retail space spread across 9 units and 150 parking spaces, 8 of which are equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.
Located on Chaussée Victor Lampe in Lessines, the site enjoys a strategic location along the N57, at the intersection of Ath, Enghien, and Silly. This location, combined with excellent visibility from the highway, contributes significantly to the business momentum of the park.
Shopping Lessines is almost fully leased and already hosts well-known national and international brands such as Trafic, Jysk, Boulangerie Louise, Kruidvat, Action, and Go For Price. Since its opening, the site has been a huge hit with the public, with strong sales performance for the retailers there.
The project’s design was conceived to blend harmoniously into its surroundings. The choice of materials and the priority given to the site’s rehabilitation are fully in line with Equilis’s vision of responsible commercial development.
“The sale of Shopping Lessines once again confirms investors’ interest in newer, well-located retail parks supported by a strong and diverse mix of retailers. The success of the site’s retailers demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach: developing projects that are useful and create long-term value,” said Guillaume Beuscart, CEO ofEquilis Belgium.
Building on its expertise in retail development (Docks Bruxsel, Bellefleur, Parenthèse, etc.) and in the creation of mixed-use neighborhoods such as the Papeteries de Genval, Court Village, theEquilis Belgium team is actively pursuing its projects in Wallonia and Brussels. It has established itself as a leading player in mixed-use and complex developments, both in city centers and on the outskirts.
