Investing in real estate
Investing in real estate is a matter of trust.
And finding the right opportunity in the right place.
Real estate remains a solid investment. You receive monthly rental income, which is indexed annually. And you build long-term capital appreciation.
With ION, you invest in projects we develop ourselves. We select the location, design the product and oversee the construction. Afterwards, we make sure the rental process is taken care of.
From a first student room to an entire building. There is a product for every type of investor.
What should you invest in?
01
Apartments
The rental market is expanding, while the supply of quality rental homes is shrinking. In and around the cities, demand remains high and prices are rising accordingly. You benefit from stable rental income today and added value when you decide to sell later. Or you can move in yourself.
02
Student rooms
Belgium is facing a structural shortage of affordable, high-quality student rooms. Every academic year sees a new influx of students. The rental contract is adjusted annually, unlike the standard 3-6-9 contract. The entry price is low, while returns are relatively high. All our student residences are managed by a specialised partner.
03
Extra-care housing
The ageing population is growing, and demand for real estate for seniors is rising. We develop extra-care housing in central locations, within walking distance of shops and amenities. A local residential care centre and an experienced operator take care of all services. The returns are high and the risk is low.
04
Commercial premises and offices
From a small practice to a full office complex. Businesses commit for the long term, giving you stable tenants and long-term contracts. In some projects, we secure a tenant first, allowing you to purchase with a lease already in place.
05
Bulk purchase
You buy an entire building and become its sole owner. No co-owners, no discussions, every decision is yours. The purchase price per unit is more competitive. If you wish, we will find a partner for letting and all-in management.

Since 2011, ION has been developing real estate for those looking to invest. Affordable studios, student rooms with guaranteed rent, homes for social rental agencies: we always choose a product that appeals to a broad tenant base. This way, we aim for fast, stable letting, with peace of mind for you as an investor.
Guaranteed rent
Certainty for nine to thirty years
With certain projects, you invest in real estate that is leased long-term to a single institutional or professional partner. You remain the owner. The partner is responsible for the use and subletting. Your rental income is fixed in advance and indexed according to the contract. The agreement runs for nine, fifteen, twenty-seven or thirty years. Vacancy and individual defaults are not your concern. Depending on the arrangement, maintenance and repairs are the tenant’s responsibility. Specific arrangements can also be made regarding property tax.
We have partnered with organisations such as UMONS in Mons, VIVES University of Applied Sciences in Bruges, UCLouvain Saint-Louis Brussels and regional social rental partners.

Investing with your company
Real estate as part of your business strategy
Acquiring real estate through a company can be an attractive option. However, the right choice depends on your personal situation and long-term plans. By using a company, you can invest available funds in real estate. Certain acquisition, financing and leasing costs may be eligible for tax treatment. At the same time, you build up assets within the business. Taxation differs from a private purchase and therefore calls for a considered approach. Our experts are happy to discuss the possibilities with you and your accountant.
