Uplace Launches Capital Raise for BROEKLIN Brussels with KBC Securities

Strombeek-Bever, 29 May 2026 - Uplace, the developer behind BROEKLIN Brussels, today launches a targeted capital raise for the BROEKLIN Brussels project. In this context, it has mandated KBC Securities to guide them through this transaction.

BROEKLIN Brussels is a project of exceptional scale and ambition: a 12.5-hectare development, more than 150,000 m² of leasable space, and one of Belgium’s most innovative mixed-use destinations. A project of this magnitude requires not only a strong vision, but also a robust, future-proof financial structure capable of sustainably supporting this ambition.

BROEKLIN Brussels represents a distinctive investment opportunity, underpinned by an exceptionally strong location, optimal accessibility and a prosperous and extensive catchment area. The project combines a well-considered commercial strategy with an experienced technical and real estate team, supported by a high-quality partner network and a clear, integrated sustainability vision.

KBC Securities’ role is to connect Uplace with investors — both domestic and international —who are genuinely aligned with the vision and long-term strategy of the project. Uplace isseeking partners who believe in innovation, sustainable development, and the societal andeconomic impact that BROEKLIN Brussels can deliver.

The choice of KBC Securities is a deliberate and logical one. As a locally rooted player within the KBC Group, they bring deep knowledge of the Belgian market, a strong investor network,and proven expertise in complex real estate and development transactions. They understand not only the financial dimension of this project, but also its broader significance for the region and the Belgian economy. This combination of market knowledge, trust, and strategic insight makes them the right partner at this stage of the journey.

The impact of this capital strengthening is clear: it makes the project’s financial structure more robust, strengthens financial ratios, and reduces dependency on external bank financing. As a result, Uplace is today better positioned than ever to deliver BROEKLIN Brussels as intended: ambitious, innovative, and fully on track for an opening in 2029.
