ION Residential Platform (IRP) | Innovative residential platform

Why IRP?

IRP was set up in response to several key challenges in the Belgian property market:

Owning your own home is becoming unaffordable for many people, leading to growing demand in the rental market.
There is an urgent need to make the housing market more sustainable.
There is a lack of institutional landlords, who take a large-scale and professional approach to affordable housing.

We founded IRP to tackle these issues and manage affordable rental housing in the long term.

IRP is a joint venture between ION, Bouwinvest Real Estate Investors and CBRE Investment Management. Together, we aim to invest in affordable and quality rental housing in Belgium's largest cities. With an initial investment capacity of 280 million euro, IRP aims to become an established value for tenants by offering quality and professionally managed housing.

Besides tenant affordability, IRP focuses on sustainable buildings that contribute to the greening of the housing market in Belgium.
