Asset managementUnparalleled degree of flexibility
A unique aspect of the Axis Parc is the high degree of flexibility both in terms of leasing possibilities as well as in terms of office space and layout.
Leasing
Leasing possibilities range from 1 month to as long as 15years
As one of the few office parks in Belgium, the Axis Parc allows its tenants to move their offices within the park before contract maturity at the same lease conditions as long as they increase their needs by 50%.
Offices and laboratories
Office space and laboritares can host start-ups , freelancers, SME’s and multinationals.
Buildings are designed so they can be adapted to all tenants needs.
University proximity
The nearby University of Louvain-la-Neuve offers a unique interaction with Axis Parc
The proximity of the University attracts talent and results in the creation of many spin-offs that ultimately can find an easily accessible work space with a campus mindset close to the university itself.
