Brussels- Dec 4th – JLL BeLux is pleased to announce its official installation in its new headquarters located at 10 rue Montoyer in Brussels. This move marks a return to the roots for the company, which is reinvesting in a building it occupied a few years ago, now entirely redeveloped according to the strictest eco-responsible standards.
The M10 building, certified BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum, embodies excellence in sustainability and well-being. Remarkably, the building is carbon neutral, aligning perfectly with JLL’s ambitions for decarbonization trajectory. Its innovative wooden structure, flexible spaces, and central location meet the current challenges of occupants: ESG objectives, talent retention, brand visibility, accessibility.
Sébastien Giordano, Country Lead of JLL Belux, states: “Our return to Montoyer 10 symbolizes our bold vision for the future of the sector and our commitment to circularity through the choice of a regenerated building. By reinventing workspaces as catalysts for performance, we give ourselves the means to realize our ambitions while establishing new benchmarks for the industry. This project concretizes our vision: maximizing the creation of sustainable and responsible value through collaborative innovation.”
JLL BeLux redefines sustainable real estate with its new headquarters. Incorporating up to 80% reused materials for partitions and coverings, it embodies the circular economy. By aiming for WELL Platinum certification, JLL reaffirms its priority for employee well-being. This innovative project positions the company at the forefront of the sector, merging environmental excellence and professional fulfillment in an exemplary workspace.
This BeLux project exemplifies a collaborative innovation approach by merging the expertise of teams from Brussels, Antwerp, and Luxembourg. From ideation to realization, each step illustrates a remarkable interdepartmental (and cross-border) synergy. The resulting space, fruit of pioneering collective intelligence, embodies the shared aspirations of all JLL BeLux collaborators, reinforcing organizational cohesion and performance.
To promote collaboration between different departments and offer a variety of spaces adapted to different work modes, the two floors have been connected by an open internal staircase. Amandine Chizelle, Head of Tétris Belux, adds: “We have created a dynamic environment where each space has a specific purpose and offers different experiences, from collaborative zones to quieter spaces for focused work. By co-designing with our teams and mapping workplace journeys, we have designed a space that truly meets the needs of all our employees, as well as multiple experiences for our clients and partners. Moreover, technology is at the heart of our new layouts, with immersive screens and meeting rooms equipped to optimize hybrid meetings. These innovations underline our vision of an innovative work environment centered on user experience.”
A surprising feature of the project is the occupation of the ground floor. Sébastien Giordano explains: “This approach embodies a desire for transparency perfectly aligned with our values of openness. It’s a real change in perspective, an invitation to exchange and interaction. By choosing a street-level implementation, we have innovated to maximize value creation where it is often a challenge.”
Emna Rekik, country lead JLL Luxembourg adds: “This project marks a crucial first step in the transformation of JLL BeLux. Our new headquarters in Brussels is a true showcase of our collective expertise, to which the Luxembourg teams have actively contributed. It embodies our vision of sustainable and innovative real estate, serving as a concrete model for our clients. This achievement strengthens our leadership position and demonstrates our ability to create workspaces that combine performance, well-being, and environmental responsibility.”
The return to Montoyer 10 symbolizes our bold vision for the future of work and corporate real estate. This innovative project embodies our expansion strategy and our commitment to maximizing the creation of sustainable value through collaborative innovation. By rethinking professional spaces, JLL BeLux paves the way towards a future where performance, sustainability, and well-being harmoniously combine.
