Belgium Investor Survey 2026
February 24, 2026 6 Minute Read
The 2026 Belgium Investor Survey results underscore stability in the market with fresh signs of confidence.
Most investors expect interest rates and debt availability to remain stable, while capital allocation is becoming increasingly diversified, with rising interest in operational real estate.
Logistics continues to lead investor preferences, followed by offices, which maintain their strong position. The residential sector remains on an upward trajectory, and retail is steadily regaining investor attention.
ESG performance is increasingly viewed as a key driver of long-term value creation, with investors prioritising quality improvements to existing portfolios, followed by acquiring older assets to bring them in line with current standards, and investing directly in ESG-compliant assets.
Investment intentions indicate €4.0 billion planned for deployment, €3.0 billion in expected disposals, and €661 million reserved for capex. Prime yields are broadly stable across asset classes, with slight compression in retail and logistics and more pronounced compression in residential.
Overall, the survey reflects a market characterised by stabilising financial conditions, disciplined investment strategies and renewed confidence heading into 2026.
