Building future cities
Building future cities doesn’t always mean more buildings. On the contrary, space is often limited. Therefore, it’s mainly about managing existing assets more efficiently and effectively. Addressing the embodied carbon in building materials and present in the building process is vital. After all, this amounts to 11% of global emissions.*
Future cities are also not just about having the latest technology and digital know-how. It’s about reducing carbon emissions, helping create safe and social places to get together and live prosperous, happy lives. It’s about making cities more resilient to future environmental, social and technological changes. This is more than just improving the communities that live or work in one of our assets. Rather it’s about supporting and sustaining the wider community for the long term.
That's why we are providing the capital to develop sustainable urban ecosystems to unlock the associated financial and social benefits. Investing in future cities is a smart decision driven by our environmental, social and governance values and goals that underpin what we do and why we do it. We’re reimagining and repurposing Brussels’ landmark office building, The Louise, to meet the needs of a post-pandemic workforce.
We’re stripping down the facade and technical installations but maintaining the superstructure and concrete slab – saving around 8,500 tons of embodied carbon. This reduces the carbon footprint by 50%, compared to an average office build of the same size. We’re also recycling all materials where possible, saving a further 1,500 tons of carbon emissions. The project will also create 1,500 square metres of new green space. Smart systems will run all of The Louise’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing and security functions. This will reduce energy consumption to 90 kilowatts (kW) per square metre, compared to 200 kW per square meter.

Creating new sources of value
Reimagining buildings and entire developments for smarter investors looking to unlock the value of tomorrow's cities today. There is untapped potential in existing buildings. All too often constructing new offices and apartments is not sustainable or practical due to high costs and a lack of space. Yet refurbishing and adding value to existing assets can meet modern living standards.
At PATRIZIA, we are fully focused on adding value rather than just extracting it. By identifying opportunities like the refurbishment of The Louise in Brussels, we are helping to establish higher-quality spaces and create new sources of value from existing buildings.
- Creating higher-quality, more sustainable spaces
- Empowering people to live and work
- Refurbishing can reduce the carbon footprint up to 50%
- Flight to quality – rising demand for less but better space
- Greener properties demand higher values
- Delivering better returns to smarter investors
- Time for value-add investing is now
We are totally invested in creating superior, sustainable assets to support how people live and work in the future. With on-the-ground expertise and esteemed innovation partners, we are reimagining buildings and entire developments – creating the sustainable workplaces, homes and communities we all need. At the same time, delivering higher returns to smarter investors who are looking to unlock the value of tomorrow's cities today.
Key Fact:
- Refurbishing buildings is more carbon efficient than replacing them because new build materials and construction processes are often more carbon intensive. *
- Around 50 metric tonnes of CO2 are used to construct the average house in the UK
- 5 times more than the annual carbon footprint of a UK citizen **
