Over the past few months, Ghelamco made world news through the sale of three major office buildings in Poland. This record deal, which has been the largest transaction on the Polish property market in 2014 so far, involved an amount in excess of 200 million euro. The unusual and exceptional sale of three office buildings at the same time is also the biggest contract in the history of Ghelamco. First things first. Ghelamco realiseerde afgelopen maand topnieuws door de verkoop van drie grote kantoorgebouwen in Polen. Met deze recorddeal, de grootste transactie in 2014 op de Poolse vastgoedmarkt, is een bedrag van liefst 200 miljoen euro gemoeid. De uitzonderlijke verkoop van drie kantoorgebouwen in één klap is meteen de grootste deal ooit in de geschiedenis van Ghelamco. All of which is living proof that Dit is het levende bewijs dat property is still an investment Simon, Paul en Michael Gheysens onroerend goed nog steeds that delivers high returns, een belegging is met hoog renparticularly in a climate where dement, zeker in een klimaat savings accounts are yielding virtually nothing and investing on waarin een spaarboekje nauwelijks iets opbrengt en beleggen op de the stock market is often too risky. Consequently, a sustainable beurs vaak te riskant is. Een duurzaam gebouw met een solvabele building with a good solvent tenant is a better investment than ever. huurder is dus meer dan ooit een uitstekende investering. Sommigen vragen zich af of de vastgoedmarkt niet te lijden zal krijgen onder de toenemende digitalisering, waardoor er zogezegd minder kantoorruimte nodig zal zijn. Dat was ook hét gespreksonderwerp op de Expo Real in München, een internationale vastgoedbeurs voor investeerders. De hamvraag was daar wat de invloed ervan zal zijn op de benodigde vierkante meters aan kantoorruimte. Some people are wondering whether the property market is likely to start suffering under the influence of increasing digitisation, which will apparently mean less demand for office space. That certainly was the number one topic of conversation at Expo Real in Munich, an international real estate fair for investors. The key question there was what will the effect be on the required number of square metres of office space. De evolutie naar meer mobiele werkplaatsen zal veel minder uitgesproken zijn dan vaak aangenomen. Een vijfsterrenhotel mag nog zo luxueus zijn, in je eigen bed slaap je nog altijd het best. Dat geldt ook voor kantoorruimtes waarin werknemers een eigen bureau of kantoor hebben. Het is bovendien wetenschappelijk bewezen dat een mobiele werkplaats de productiviteit, teamgeest en efficiëntie van de werknemers naar beneden haalt. But the trend towards more mobile workplaces will be far less pronounced than is often assumed. A five-star hotel can be as luxurious as it likes, but you still sleep best in your own bed at home. The same thing applies to office space, where employees want to have their own office or workspace. It has also been scientifically proven that a mobile workplace actually brings down the productivity, team spirit and efficiency of employees. Naast de recordverkoop in Polen, is er ook het heuglijke nieuws dat Ghelamco geselecteerd werd bij de laatste drie kandidaten voor de bouw van het nieuwe nationale stadion in Brussel. Ook in dit project steekt digitalisering de kop op. Niet als bedreiging, maar als hefboom om een echte verrassingswereld te creëren. Binnen vijf jaar zullen de mogelijkheden immers quasi onbeperkt zijn. In addition to the record sale in Poland, there is also the great news that Ghelamco has been selected on the final shortlist of three candidates to build the new national stadium in Brussels. Digitisation also crops up again in this project. Not as a threat, but as a springboard for creating a genuine world of surprises. In fact, the possibilities will be virtually unlimited within the next five years. Voetbalgerelateerde zaken als training, opleiding, revalidatie, scouting en healthcare moeten bereikbaar worden voor iedereen, volgens de meest geavanceerde technologieën. Dit met de nadruk op ontspanning, gezondheid, opleiding, talentenjacht, paraatheid én excelleren. Talent krijgt immers vanaf jonge leeftijd de kans om zich voluit te ontplooien. Football-related activities such as training, coaching, rehab, scouting and healthcare need to be accessible to everyone, drawing on all the very latest technologies. And naturally the emphasis is on relaxation, health, education, the hunt for talent, being prepared and excelling. This will give talent the opportunity to develop from a young age. In Gent vormt de nieuwe voetbalsite, met de Ghelamco Arena als ankerpunt, stilaan een nieuw stadsdeel. De laatste functies worden er momenteel ingevuld. Een business center van 10.000 m² met auditorium en conference rooms opent in januari zijn deuren en zal nog meer mensen samenbrengen op de site. In Ghent, the new football venue, focusing on the Ghelamco Arena, is gradually creating a brand-new part of the city. The final features and functionalities are currently in the process of being completed. A 10,000 m² business centre, with main auditorium and conference rooms will be opening its doors in January, attracting even more people to the site. Tot slot kijken we reikhalzend uit naar de bouw van het hoogste punt van de Warschau Spire. Dit gebouw van 220 meter hoog geeft een uniek zicht op de skyline van Warschau en wordt het nieuwe paradepaardje van Ghelamco op de Poolse vastgoedmarkt. We zijn alvast benieuwd naar de apotheose! Finally, we are eagerly anticipating the topping out the Warsaw Spire. This building, which soars to a height of 220 metres and provides a unique view over the skyline of Warsaw, will be the new Ghelamco flagship project on the Polish property market. We are already looking forward to the climax! 02 03 CONTENTS E D I TO Warsaw Spire, under construction 107,000 m2 office space, Warsaw, Poland BREEAM “Excellent” in the design fase 05 GHEL AMCO POL AND 3 OFFICE BUILDINGS SOLD TO STARWOOD CAPITAL GROUP T-Mobile Office Park, 2013 40,000 m2 office space, Warsaw, Poland 1st BREEAM “Excellent” certificate in Poland Lopuszanska Business Park, 2013 16,500 m2 office space, Warsaw, Poland BREEAM “Very good” certificate W A R S A W, P O L A N D Katowice Business Park, 2011 17,000 m2 office space, Katowice, Poland BREEAM “Very Good” certificate 1 In what marks one of the biggest office transactions of the year in the dynamically developing Polish real estate market, Ghelamco, a leading office developer in the CEE region has finalized the sale of three major office projects to a controlled affiliate of leading global private investment firm Starwood Capital Group. 2 T he unprecedented sale of three office investments by Ghelamco demonstrates the growing dynamism of Polish real estate market and its increasing significance for global private investors as well as the leading position of Ghelamco in the region. The three properties comprise 78,000 sqm of total office space. T-Mobile Office Park and Łopuszanska Business Park, both completed in May 2013, are 3 conveniently located within the business areas of Warsaw’s Mokotów and Włochy, while Katowice Business Point, constructed in 2010, is situated in the very center of Katowice. The buildings have already been a commercial succes, as they are almost 100% leased to prominent tenants including T-Mobile, Citibank, Allianz, Alior Bank, Tauron, PwC and Zywiec. The projects are also distinguished by sustainable solutions, as all 06 07 GHEL AMCO POL AND GHEL AMCO POL AND are certified in BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Methodology). T-Mobile Office Park was the first building in Poland to obtain the BREEAM Excellent certification - one of the factors that helped the property receive several presigious awards, such as Green Building of the Year in Central and Eastern Europe for 2013, Green Building of the Year in Poland for 2013 and the Essa Green Award. Ghelamco, de toonaangevende kantoorontwikkelaar in Centraal- en Oost-Europa, heeft in Polen de verkoop afgerond van drie grote kantoorprojecten aan de private investeringsgroep Starwood Capital Group. Dit is niet alleen dé transactie van het jaar op de Poolse vastgoedmarkt, maar ook de grootste deal ooit in de geschiedenis van Ghelamco. Deze ongeziene verkoop van drie kantoorgebouwen bewijst de groeiende dynamiek van de Poolse vastgoedmarkt en haar belang voor private investeerders wereldwijd. Het illustreert ook de leidende rol van Ghelamco in deze regio. Het T-Mobile Office Park en het Lopuszanska Business Park werden voltooid in mei 2013 en bevinden zich strategisch in de wijken Mokotow en Wlochy, het financiële hart van Warschau. Het Katowice Business Point in het centrum van Katowice werd al in 2010 opgeleverd. Samen beslaan de drie sites liefst 78.000 m² aan kantoorruimte. De gebouwen waren reeds een commercieel succes, met een bezettingsgraad van bijna 100 procent door prominente bedrijven als T-Mobile, Citibank, Allianz, Alior Bank, Tauron, PwC en Zywiec. De drie vastgoedprojecten onderscheiden zich door hun duurzame ontwikkeling en werden hiervoor beloond met een BREEAMcertificaat (Building Research Establishment Environmental Methodology). Het T-Mobile Office Park was bovendien het eerste kantoorgebouw in Polen dat kon uitpakken met een BREAAM ‘Excellent’-onderscheiding. Dat was ook een van de redenen waarom het T-Mobile Office Park in 2013 genomineerd werd voor enkele prestigieuze prijzen. Het kantorencomplex werd verkozen als Green Building of the Year in Polen, Green Building of the Year in Centraal- en Oost-Europa en kreeg ook de Essa Green Award, een onderscheiding van het internationale vastgoedmagazine CIJ.

Voor het eerst hebben we liefst drie gebouwen verkocht in één transactie” Chris Heggerick, COO Ghelamco Group ”We believe that these properties are well-positioned to benefit from the continued strengthening of poland, one of europe’s fastest-growing economies. This transaction highlights starwood capital group’s expanding presence in europe, as well as our ability to opportunistically invest in markets that we believe are poised to capitalize upon a prolonged recovery across the region” T-Mobile Office Park, 2013 40,000 m2 office space, Warsaw, Poland Keegan Viscius, Vice President at Starwood Capital Group 10 11 GHEL AMCO POL AND GHEL AMCO POL AND TH E R I S I N G O F TH E WA R S AW S PI R E Buidling progress on top of the tower at the Warsaw Spire, Warsaw, Poland 107,000 m2 office space On top of the Warsaw Spire tower, looking down at the two lower side buildings of the project W A R S A W, P O L A N D The Warsaw Spire is the most prestigious office project in the history of Warsaw. This tower of 220 metres high with a spectacular view on the Warsaw skyline offers 107.000 m² of A+ quality of office space and will be Ghelamco’s new flagship on the Polish market. 12 13 GHEL AMCO POL AND GHEL AMCO POL AND Building A Visual of the future reception area at the Warsaw Spire Frontex is moving in at one of the lower side buildings at the Warsaw Spire (building B) Building C Building B T he Warsaw Spire is a dynamic city complex with unique architectural vision and the very latest technologies, which propels the Warsaw environment firmly into the 21st century. The Warsaw Spire offices are ideal for open space, cellular offices or mixed arrangements and were designed to the highest ecological standards. One part of the entire 107.000 m² complex is the Frontex building, which smoothly waded through all procedures required on this fully operating site. The Frontex space of 14.500 m² was delivered and fitted in time. Now it’s time for Frontex’s IT specialists to install the systems and facilities they need to ensure a full operating status for the agency. in January 2015, the entire EU institution will actually move to the Warsaw Spire. At the time we were working on the Frontex fit out, another success was achieved. Only a few weeks ago, building B has been added to the EU Green Building Programme, initiated by the European Commission to unlock energy saving potentials in non-residential buildings. This is already the fifth Ghelamco building that has been invited for a partnership with this important European initiative. While informing you about the Warsaw Spire we cannot miss the status of building A. It is now 127 metres high 14 15 GHEL AMCO POL AND GHEL AMCO POL AND and already dominating the Rondo Daszynskiego area, the new business center of Warsaw. The construction of the tower still grows with one level per week and gains more and more interest from Warsaw’s inhabitants every day. The height of the building is also distinguished by a special cover assembled around the highest currently constructed levels and moving according to the growth of the building. This cover is an RCS system, a very helpful self-climbing platform for the construction of high-rise buildings. This system also offers the opportunity to install corporate branding on it. Therefore Ghelamco and Warsaw Spire logos were placed there, with perfect visibility from all directions. The construction works on the tower building are the most spectacular ones, but we’re also continuing the construction of building C on which the installation of the façade is being finalized. We have also started preparing the site for works connected with the European Square arrangement. S I E N N A TOW E R S W A R S A W, P O L A N D Rondo Daszynskiego is currently the fastest developing area in the Polish capital. With excellent public transport links, including a second metro line, and a wide range of office, retail and residential projects, it is set to become Warsaw’s new business and residential quarter. Situated opposite the Warsaw Spire, it will also serve as a location for new Ghelamco projects. S ienna Towers is a unique mixed-use office and retail space project. The site will cover an area of 100,000 m², distributed between three towers (two measuring 130 metres and one 90 metres in height) on a common podium. The tallest towers will consist of 31 levels, each of which provides approximately 1,300 m² space. The lower building, with 18 levels, will offer approximately 1,000 m² of space on each floor. As well as 87,000 m² office space, Sienna Towers will include almost 13,000 m² retail space on its basement, ground and first floor. For the maximum convenience of its tenants and customers, the complex will be the first commercial building in Warsaw to have a direct underground link to the metro station on Rondo Daszynskiego. Moreover, the project will have approximately 1,000 parking spaces on four underground levels. This project is another example of Ghelamco’s efforts to transform Warsaw’s Wola district into the city’s cutting-edge office, retail and residential area. Together with the Warsaw Spire and stunning European Square, Sienna Towers and other future projects, the Rondo Daszynskiego will become a perfect and harmonious combination of office spaces and public facilities. At the same time, it will be the most spectacular example of how modern, carefully designed office projects can benefit the city and its 16 17 GHEL AMCO POL AND GHEL AMCO POL AND inhabitants, by creating public areas and providing much-needed facilities. “Sienna Towers is een uniek kantoren- en shopping-project aan de Rondo Daszynskiego in Warschau. Het project zal een verhuurbare ruimte beslaan van 100.000 m2, verdeeld over drie torens (2 van 130 m hoog en één van 90 m hoog) op een gemeenschappelijke sokkel. Om maximaal comfort te verschaffen aan huurders en klanten, zal het complex een directe ondergrondse metro-connectie hebben en een duizendtal parkeerplaatsen. Dit project is opnieuw een voorbeeld van Ghelamco’s inspanningen om het Wola district en meer bepaald de Rondo Daszynskiego te transformeren in innovatieve kantoren, shops, hotels, restaurants, fitness, cultuur en publieke diensten.” WOŁOSKA 24: A BRAND NEW OFFICE PROJECT TOOK OFF IN WARSAW W A R S A W, P O L A N D Ghelamco is currently building its highly sustainable office project ‘Wołoska 24’ on Warsaw’s Mokotów, just a stone’s throw away from our Mokotów Nova site. This office building, with space for retail outlets and services, stands out for its mobility, visibility, functionality and configuration. W ołoska 24 is the name of an office project on Warsaw’s Mokotów, on which recently works have started. It will provide 20,000 m² of office space right next to our successful Mokotów Nova project. It will boast eleven above-ground levels, including ten floors dedicated to offices. Its ground floor, with two independent reception areas, will also offer space for retail outlets and services. Wołoska 24 is another example of Ghelamco’s sustainable vision when it comes to construction, as it was designed and will be built according to the BREEAM certificate requirements. In addition to the highest quality standards and a variety of environment-friendly solutions, the comfort of future tenants will also be enhanced by amenities, including a canteen, kiosk and cash machines. There will also be facilities for cyclists, such as secure parking, changing rooms and showers. Future tenants will be offered useful floor spaces ranging from 1,400 m² to 2,500 m². During the first construction phase, the existing buildings were demolished. We have now started to build the diaphragm wall.

Sub-base works for the third building are advancing well. All of Building A has already been let, while 70% of building B has been leased and negotiations for the letting of building C are looking promising. T he photo shows how much progress has been made with construction over the last few months, as well as buildings A & B, which provide 135,000 m² logistics space for the Moscow market. Building A covers almost 60,000 m² and has been fully let to five different tenants. Building B, with a total surface of 75,000 m², has now been commissioned. 70% of the available space has been leased and final negotiations are taking place for the remaining 30%. The works on building C are progressing as we speak. Preliminary piling has been completed and sub-base works are fully on schedule. Even more good news: a great deal of interest has already been shown in leasing this building and lively discussions are taking place with a potential tenant for a built-to-suit space of about 32,000 m². In the current market context, this proves the skill and diligence of the Ghelamco Russia team. Dmitrov Logistics Park is gelegen op 30 kilometer van het centrum van Moscow en zal 228.000 m² “built-to-suit” logistieke ruimte bieden. De grondwerken van het derde gebouw schieten goed op. Gebouw A is intussen 100% en gebouw B voor 70% verhuurd. De onderhandelingen in het kader van de verhuur van gebouw C lopen bovendien veelbelovend. Bovenstaande foto met gebouwen A en B die meer dan 135.000 m² aan opslagruimte aan de logistieke markt van Moscow toevoegen, geeft de evolutie die de voorbije maanden in het kader van het bouwproces gerealiseerd werd weer. 24 25 GHEL AMCO RUSSIA GHEL AMCO RUSSIA Gebouw A dat 60.000 m² groot is, werd volledig verhuurd aan diverse afnemers. Gebouw B met een oppervlakte van 75.000m² is intussen voor 70% verhuurd. Voor de resterende 30% zijn de finale onderhandelingen aan de gang. De werken aan gebouw C vlotten snel. De paalfunderingen zijn uitgevoerd en de grondwerken zitten goed op schema. Nog beter nieuws is dat er concreet interesse bestaat voor een built-to-suit ruimte van 32.000 m² van een kandidaat huurder waarmee momenteel gevorderde onderhandelingen gevoerd worden. Rekening houdende met de actuele marktsituatie toont dit gegeven des te meer de bedrevenheid en de inzet van het Russisch Ghelamco team aan.

Het project omvat een ondergrondse parking, een commerciële ruimte van 360m2 op het gelijkvloers en daarbovenop vier bouwlagen met ruime zonneterassen. B ij Ghelamco gaan snelheid en kwaliteit hand in hand als resultaat van geoefend en beproefd teamwerk in alle stadia en in alle onderdelen van de bouwwerken. Locarno toont aan hoe Ghelamco de garantie voor een succesvol vastgoedproject ziet. Een strakke timing betekent lagere werkkosten, een kortere financieringsperiode, minder algemene kosten, en een perfecte beheersing van de kwaliteit. Knokke-Heist en de ligging doen de rest. Het project Locarno zit aangenaam vervat in het straatbeeld, het nodigt uit, het voetpad begeleidt de gasten. Locarno is met zijn werkelijk aantrekkelijke, hoge vitrine een monument in Knokke en een anker, een nieuw icoon geheel in lijn met de sterke reputatie van de stad.

Met een hoogte van 55 meter en een totale oppervlakte van 55.000 m² toont het project zich vandaag al in zijn volle grandeur. H et project Waterview maakt deel uit van de herontwikkeling van de Vaartkom in Leuven. Ghelamco is er reeds actief met onder andere residentiële realisatie Waterside en bureel- en retailruimte Vander Elst. De nieuwe studententoren, een ijkpunt in deze prachtige binnenstedelijke ontwikkeling, torent nu overal bovenuit. De laatste betonstort vond plaats amper acht maanden na aanvang van de betonfunderingswerken. De ruwbouw van het monumentale parkeergebouw naast de toren (in nagespannen, ter plaatse gestorte betonvloeren) is intussen ook volledig klaar. De werken aan de vijfde verdieping bovenop het publieke parkeergebouw, waar eveneens studentenkamers worden voorzien, zijn momenteel in volle gang. De ontknoping van dit Leuvense project is niet veraf meer: tientallen technici zijn al gestart met de elektrische en sanitaire installaties. Het plaatsen van de raamconstructies is volop gestart. De karakteristieke gevel van het gebouw is een prachtig samenspel van glas met verschillende tinten en rode bakstenen, gevoegd met moderne dunbedmortel. De studentenkamers zijn luxueus afgewerkt en beschikken over een eigen toilet en douche. Met deze zeer goed uitgeruste kamers kiest Ghelamco voor een nieuwe standaard in deze studentenstad. De verkoop loopt dan ook uitstekend, met reeds 150 verkochte kamers. We zijn ook fier om het Leuvense filiaal van de voedingsketen Albert Heijn te mogen huisvesten op de site. De aanloop net voor de eindspurt is ingezet, de planning staat op scherp, begin maart 2015 zullen Albert Heijn en het publieke parkeergebouw volledig operationeel zijn en worden de eerste studentenkamers opgeleverd.
