Activity 15.2 12.4<br />

During the last exercice, ABEB has succeeded to realize a<br />

sensitive increase of its activity and manpower.<br />

In the residential sector, the apartment complex for DCB:<br />

‘De Platanen’ in Vilvoorde has been completed. In Antwerp,<br />

both projects: ‘De Burbure’ and ‘Opera Lofts’ continued<br />

their course as well as the construction of two apartment<br />

buildings in Brussels, named ‘Jacqmain’ and ‘Pelikaan’.<br />

An important construction and renovation project in<br />

Antwerp: ‘Stadsfeestzaal’ is progressing on schedule.<br />

Located on a prime location in the city centre, this complex<br />

consists of a large shopping centre with underground car<br />

park. Additional orders, including the construction of 20<br />

exclusive apartments for BPI-Vooruitzicht, extended the<br />

original contract. The works started in 2005 and the shop-<br />

ping centre is due to open in the autumn of 2007.<br />

In Vilvoorde, ABEB is renovating on behalf of Watersteen,<br />

the former penitentiairy complex that is given a new des-<br />

tination. Started in Brussels, in collaboration with <strong>CFE</strong><br />

Brabant, the construction of three apartment buildings<br />

with retail area and underground car park.<br />

The Province of Antwerp trusted the complete moderniza-<br />

tion of the former city library to ABEB. This building will<br />

accomodate the students of the Plantijn Hogeschool in<br />

2008. For the account of VESPA (independant municipal<br />

company for real estate and city projects in Antwerp),<br />

ABEB started the construction of a residential project in<br />

the city center.<br />

2007 should allow ABEB to increase its revenue and insure<br />

a better coverage of general expense, which have weighed<br />

considerably on its results the past years.<br />
