Befimmo welcomes N-SIDE to the "Esprit Courbevoie" project in Louvain-la-Neuve

Befimmo is delighted to welcome N-SIDE to the future offices of the “Esprit Courbevoie” project in Louvain-la-Neuve. In February 2021 Befimmo acquired[1]the office building of the "Esprit Courbevoie" project, in state of future completion. This office building, showcasing Befimmo's hybrid offer, entails 4,300 m² of office space, now fully let to N-SIDE, and 4,000 m² of Silversquare coworking space.

The building is characterised by a very exceptional location in the unique and innovative university zone (UCLouvain), close to the city centre with direct access to the station and the Brussels-Luxembourg motorway. It is scheduled for completion at the end of 2023. 

The Courbevoie office building adequately matches the needs of N-SIDE: “As a fast-growing company, the well-being of our employees is key. Besides the large office space, the location in a green environment at a walking distance from the city center and close to public transportation allows us to offer an improved work-life balance for our teams. The presence of a coworking space in the building offers us additional flexibility and creates a dynamic in the building. For N-SIDE, the office should be a space where people spend time together, share a strong culture, a sense of belonging to stimulate creativity and fulfilment. We are firmly convinced that Courbevoie is the right place for us.” explains Maud Larochette  - CEO ad interim, CFO and HR Director at N-SIDE.

The project has a BREEAM " Very Good " certification. 

BNP Paribas Real Estate managed the transaction between both parties.
