LIÈGE PARADIS EXPRESS

In 2018 Matexi and Befimmo pooled their resources for the realisation of the new eco-neighbourhood Paradis Express in Liège. The integrated neighbourhood project benefits from a top location near Liège-Guillemins station, the Paradis tower and a new tramline. In addition to 115 apartments and studios with dedicated parking spaces, Matexi is also realising around 1,600 m² of additional space for hospitality businesses, services and liberal professions. 400 m² is reserved for retail. In Paradis Express our project partner Befimmo has created two office buildings with an overall surface of 21,000 m². In 2016 Paradis Express won the MIPIM Award for best future project. Paradis Express was also one of the winners at the 2019 European Property Awards.

For over 20 years now Matexi has focused on inner-city reconversion projects, redevelopment of both historical heritage buildings and former industrial sites and vacant, obsolete buildings. These transformation projects fit perfectly with today´s emphasis on dealing carefully with the available space.

Matexi encourages neighbourhoods where we can simultaneously live, shop, work, go to school and relax. So we reduce the use of autos and a neighbourhood remains alive long after school is over and offices have closed. Inner-city core reinforcement with sufficient neighbourhood amenities encourages not only the neighbourhood experience, it also brings the people who live there closer to one another.

We strive for a sustainable future. To succeed in this we work from a long-term vision. We proceed from planet, people, profit: we start out from a duty to care for both the world (planet) and society (people). Profit is a result and a means, never an end in itself - although it is necessary so as to be able to continue practicing our profession.
