bout Matexi
Matexi is the current leader on the Belgian residential real estate market with over 70 years of experience and expertise. Over those years the company has grown from a trader in arable land, to a small local land developer, to a housing developer and finally, over the past 20 years, became the Belgian market leader in urban regeneration projects, with offices in every Belgian province, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and in Warsaw.
At the core of Matexi, since it was founded in 1945, is the desire to provide each of its customers with an affordable, sustainable and high-quality home. Matexi’s motto towards customers is therefore “surprisingly a lot for your budget”.
Twenty years ago, Matexi embraced modern ideas on urban planning and started to focus on improving the neighbourhoods where it is active and redefined itself as a neighbourhood developer with as motto "Welcome to the neighbourhood". Matexi wants to do this by not only looking at the project it works on but also by taking into account local requirements and specific needs of the neighbourhood.
As a neighbourhood developer, Matexi has already realized more than 35,000 homes and is currently active in more than 300 municipalities and 600 neighbourhoods. Some renowned large inner-city projects, among many others, of Matexi are the Antwerp Tower in Antwerp, Quartier Bleu in Hasselt, 4 Fonteinen in Vilvoorde, Leopold Views in Evere, Bétons Lemaire in Ottignies and Kolska in Warsaw.
Matexi posted revenues of 350 million EUR in 2017, selling 1,500 homes and apartments. Matexi currently has 350 highly qualified and dedicated employees and indirectly employs more than 3,000 people.
Attention for the environment, social responsibility and profit are the keywords of our way of doing business.
