The office building is going to be delivered and the first tenants are going to move in at the end of this year. Currently, approximately 65% of the office space has been leased to various companies.

This is a partnership we can all be proud of, not in the least in these challenging times.” stated Didier Balcaen, CEO and CO-Founder Speedwell.
