Realfort strengthens internal Uplace leasing team with international expertise.

BROEKLIN Brussels, the future-ready city destination where sustainability, experience and innovation are key, announces the appointment of Cushman & Wakefield Retail as exclusive broker for the commercial leasing of the project. Kurth Marissens, Head of Shopping Centers in Belgium, and his team will oversee the strategic implementation of the retail ecosystem.

In order to realise BROEKLIN Brussels' forward-looking vision, the internal Uplace leasing team was already reinforced with Realfort in the last quarter of 2024. Partner Olaf Hoff became Uplace Director of Leasing Retail and Oscar Mastwijk joined the Uplace leasing team as Retail Leasing manager. They bring on board deep international experience in retail development and placemaking. Among other things, they were responsible for leasing the highly successful Mall of the Netherlands in The Hague.

BROEKLIN Brussels is not a classic destination. It is a revolution in real estate - a place where brands, consumers and communities are building a better future together. Here, shopping experience takes on a new meaning, fully attuned to the expectations of tomorrow's consumers.

The master plan covers 150,250 sq m of lettable space and brings together a progressive mix of functions:

  • Retail (55,000 sq m) - 200+ shops connecting international brands with local creativity
  • Food & Beverage (11,500 sq m) - 50+ dining concepts, including a farm-to-table urban farm
  • Leisure (12,500 sq m) - Entertainment and immersive experiences for all ages
  • Hall of Entertainment (11,000 sq m) - An iconic temple of culture with 1,600 seats
  • Workspaces (25,000 sq m) - Flexible offices for modern, future-oriented companies
  • SME Innovation Hub (32,250 sq m) - An ecosystem for entrepreneurs, makers and growth companies
  • Urban Farm (3,000 sq m) - Local production for on-site catering

Jan Van Lancker comments : “BROEKLIN Brussels is not a classic development - it is an ecosystem in the making. We are building a place that lives, inspires and thinks ahead. With Cushman & Wakefield as broker and Realfort as a reinforcement of our own team, we have the right partners on board to make this future story a reality. ”
Commercial pre-leasing was kicked off in March 2025. Construction will start in Q1 2026 and opening is scheduled for autumn 2028.
