Real estate trends that create value: what we see shifting at Potrell

Published in De Tijd’s 'De vastgoedinvesteerder’ magazine on 18/10/2025.

Potrell has been active as a dynamic property developer since 2007, specialising in residential new-build projects in Flanders. The company focuses on quality and affordable houses and apartments, with an emphasis on sustainability, energy efficiency and contemporary living comfort.

What stands out today? Three distinct shifts are helping to determine property values:

Energy efficiency as a basis

Sustainability is no longer an extra, but a must. Solar panels, heat pumps and a strong E-level are standard, ensuring future-proof homes that both retain and increase their value.

Urban lifestyle as an asset

Residents choose locations close to work, leisure and culture. Projects in vibrant parts of the city boost the quality of housing as well as rental and resale values.

New investment locations

Investors are increasingly focusing on emerging neighbourhoods and cities, with lower entry prices and higher growth potential.
