The authorities in Brussels say three candidate groups have been shortlisted following the initial stage in the tender process for the 300,000 m2 mixed-use Neo development project.
The candidate combines are UK REIT Hammerson, Soficom Development and Codic; French listed retail specialist Klepierre, AG Real Estate and Wereldhave Belgium; and European listed property giant Unibail-Rodamco, CFE and Besix. The three groups will now detail their proposals to the city and regional authorities.
The tender for the first phase of the project - covering the shopping centre, leisure facilities, housing, offices and car parks - yielded submissions from seven candidate groups comprising international and Belgian participants.
The development's backers say Neo has to become a 'shining example of urban planning perception, architecture and sustainable development'.
