Vabeld UK is proud to anounce that it was able to add an absolute prime location to its property portfolio in Liverpool.

The property, located on arguably the busiest pedestrian intersection in the center of Liverpool, is fully let to HSBC.

With this acquisition, Vabeld UK now owns the entire Lord Street block starting at North John Street up to Whitechapel and will focus its efforts in further upgrading this retail pitch over the years to come.

Vabeld has obtained, with one of its strategic investment partners, a permit for the redevelopment of a retail site along the Paalsesteenweg in Paal – Beringen. At the location where JBC and Torfs are currently already present, Vabeld will erect a new complex, which will house both existing tenants as well as one other retailer and a local telecommunications company, which will lease two floors of office space. The project has been in the works for some time and we are convinced that the innovative design by architect F. Jaspers will significantly upgrade the site and the surroundings.

Vabeld has received all necessary permits to build a brand new full size Delhaize grocery store in Geel along the Antwerpseweg. This to be where there was formerly an Aldi and a Blokker store which are to be demolished before the summer holidays.

Vabeld also intends to upgrade the adjacent retail park, with such tenants as Torfs, E5 Mode,  Buitenhof, Kvik, Noba, Pro Duo and JBC  in order to further strengthen the commercial position of the site. All existing tenants remain on site. There is one unit of 636 M2 still to let to date.

After the opening of the first KFC in Wallonia at the end of 2019, Vabeld and the masterfranchisee for KFC in Wallonia have joined forces for the roll out of the brand. A second restaurant was opened in Rocourt end of last year and a third in Namur is to follow in the summer.
