Home Invest Belgium saw a healthy rental market in the first three months of 2025 with strong demand for quality housing in the regions in which it operates. This resulted in a very high occupancy rate. The average occupancy rate13 of the investment properties available for rent amounted to 98.4% during the first three months of 2025.

Home Invest Belgium acquired the Jardin Leopold development project in Brussels (Laeken) in January 2025. The transaction concerns the acquisition of a site with 2 old warehouses and a building permit. Home Invest Belgium will realise a new build project consisting of 56 units. The total investment in the project will amount to approximately € 18.0 million. The gross initial yield is estimated at around 4.7%. The project is expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.

In March 2025, Home Invest Belgium completed the Jourdan 95 residential project in Brussels (Saint-Gilles). The project consists of 48 sustainable rental residential units strategically located between Porte de Halle and Avenue Louise in Brussels.
At the end of 2022, HOMI received a permit to transform an outdated office building into high-quality rental housing.14 The result is a modern complex of 48 units spread across six floors. The units range from efficient studios to spacious four-bedroom apartments, with many having private terraces. In addition, the building offers a communal gym, a laundry room, bicycle storage and 55 underground parking spaces. On the ground floor, residents have a communal garden, while a nursery is already in use, adding to the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
The choice to renovate the existing building instead of demolishing it fits perfectly with HOMI's sustainability objectives. This approach significantly reduces the ecological footprint.
This project was carried out in collaboration with the architectural firm A2RC.
Sustainability and quality of life were at the heart of the renovation of Jourdan 95. The building is heated entirely without the use of fossil fuels. Domestic hot water and heating are produced by 3 collective air-water heat pumps. About 100 solar panels provide green electricity production. The houses have an estimated average primary energy consumption of 42 kWh/m²/year (energy label A).
13 The average occupancy rate calculated as the average percentage over a certain period of time of the contractual rents of the rented spaces, in relation to the sum of the contractual rents of the rented spaces and the estimated rental value of the vacant spaces. The occupancy rate is calculated excluding (i) buildings being renovated (ii) buildings being commercialised for the first time and (iii) buildings being sold.
14 See press release dated 16 September 2022: "Home Invest Belgium obtains building permit for Jourdan project in Saint-Gilles".

In November 2021, Home Invest Belgium purchased from Atenor building plot LOT 4 of the CITY DOX project in Brussels (Anderlecht).
LOT 4 has an ideal location right next to the Vaartdijk in Anderlecht and is part of the large-scale CITY DOX project along the Brussels-Charleroi canal. LOT 4 will be developed into 163 residential units and 2,700 m² of space for production.
Work is nearing completion and final finishes are being carried out before delivery.


Home Invest Belgium has started the thorough renovation of its building Charles Woeste located in Brussels (Jette).
The building, part of Home Invest Belgium's property portfolio since 1999, consists of 2 blocks with a total of 92 units and 30 parking spaces.
The renovation is in 2 phases: block 1 consists of 48 apartments; block 2 consists of 42 apartments. With the renovation, Home Invest Belgium aims to improve both the energy performance of the building and the living comfort in the apartments.

During the first 3 months of 2025, the operational results of Home Invest Belgium have developed positively.
The residential rental market continues to grow steadily in those cities where Home Invest Belgium is active, mostly thanks to:
Home Invest Belgium owns a sustainable portfolio given its young age. More than 50% of the investment properties available for rent are younger than 10 years. Given the quality and the location of the properties in predominantly large urban areas, Home Invest Belgium is well positioned to take on a leading role in the favourable trends of the residential market.

For 2025, Home Invest Belgium expects EPRA earnings per share of € 1.16 (or at least stable compared to 2024).
Home Invest Belgium uses Alternative Performance Measures (APM) within the meaning of the Guidelines issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015 in its financial communication for many years. A number of these APMs are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association, EPRA, while others were established by the sector or by Home Invest Belgium itself to provide the reader with a better understanding of the company's results and performances.
Performance indicators that are defined by the IFRS or by law, and indicators that are not based on items in the income statement or the balance sheet, are not considered to be APMs.
This is the percentage of financial debt with a fixed interest rate compared to the total financial debt. The numerator corresponds to the sum of fixed-rate borrowing plus floating-rate debts after conversion into fixedrate debts via IRS contracts in effect at the end of the financial year. The denominator corresponds to the total amount of financial debt drawn on the closing date.
A significant portion of the company's financial debts are concluded at floating rates. This APM is used to measure the risk associated with interest rate fluctuations and its potential impact on the results.

The interest costs (including the credit margin and the cost of the hedging instruments) divided by the weighted average financial debt over the period in question. The numerator corresponds to the sum of the net interest costs included in item XXI of the income statement, after addition of the capitalized interest. The denominator corresponds to the average amount of financial debt calculated over the period.
The company is partly financed by debt. This APM is used to measure the average cost of the interests paid.
