Serge Hannecart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Serge Hannecart has established himself as a leading name in the world of real estate<\/a> Belgian.<\/strong> In 1989, at the age of 22, with his friend Pascal Struyf<\/strong>he began his career as a developer<\/strong> to build an apartment building<\/a> in Aartselaar. What began as a personal project turned into a profitable sale, leading to more real estate developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their company, Himmos<\/strong>has become a major player in Antwerp, known for its bold business strategy, earning Hannecart the nickname 'Napoleon du quai de l'Escaut' (Scheldt quay apoleon)<\/strong>. With the investment of Fernand Huts in 1994<\/a>Himmos was able to expand its projects, although Huts withdrew in 2001. One year later, Heijmans<\/strong>a Dutch group, has acquired Himmos and Serge Hannecart has assets of over 60 million euros. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the same period, Hannecart explored the world of artistic<\/a><\/strong> working with Panamarenko<\/strong>a renowned artist, through Antwerpse Luchtschipbouw NV, which managed private exhibition space and art sales. In 2011, Hannecart acquired Himmos, which had evolved into a land bank, and launched the 'Life' concept, short for 'Living In Funky Environments'. With projects in Belgium and the Netherlands, 'Life<\/strong>symbolizes a versatile project development company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration with co-investors is a cornerstone of its strategy. Jaap Rosen Jacobson, former owner of VLM Airlines<\/strong>then Limburg-based entrepreneur Mathi Gijbels<\/strong>have taken stakes in various projects. Under their impetus, Life.NL is best known for the renovation of the Stationspostgebouw in The Hague, a property sold to the investment fund Perial Asset Management. The 240,000 square meter project includes a residential and commercial complex with offices, a hotel and apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Belgium, Hannecart and Gijbels hold a share of 50 % in Futurn<\/strong>, une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 se sp\u00e9cialisant dans la reconversion de biens immobiliers d’entreprise, souvent orient\u00e9s vers les PME. Futurn a par exemple revitalis\u00e9 des sites tels que l’ancien terrain de Barco \u00e0 Kuurne et l’ancienne imprimerie Concentra \u00e0 Hasselt. Quant \u00e0 l’initiative Fosbury & Sons, elle cr\u00e9e des espaces de bureaux collaboratifs<\/a>, ce qui met en relief l’int\u00e9r\u00eat de Hannecart pour les environnements de travail modernes et partag\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
