Quares Residential Investment and Nextensa announce the successful acquisition of the residential building Imperial on the Tour & Taxis site in Brussels. The notarial deed for the sale of the entire building was passed on 29 December 2023 and its completion is scheduled for the last quarter of 2024.

With this acquisition, Quares Residential Investment strengthens its position as an ambitious investor in sustainable residential real estate and confirms its commitment to provide quality, affordable housing for the Belgian rental market.
