An office market under pressure on prime locations

The office market in Brussels remains driven by demand for new buildings. CBRE (Brussels Office MarketView, Q2 2025) reports a stable prime rent of €400/m²/year in the CBD, with the vacancy rate rising to 8.3%. Demand is concentrated on grade A assets: JLL (2025 Review) indicates that 70% of transactions involved new buildings, an unprecedented level in over 25 years. In the periphery, vacancy reaches 19% and upcoming deliveries in 2026 will add further pressure on availability.

Hauts-de-France provides a structural alternative just 35 minutes from Brussels by high-speed rail. The region offers office space available for lease at competitive rates, with direct access to the Belgian market. Companies looking for office space for lease near Brussels will find an accessible and immediately available offer.

Office space suited to every type of project

The NFI catalogue lists offices available for lease for all requirements: new or refurbished office floors, flexible commercial premises, turnkey space with integrated services, and divisible surface areas for growing companies. Available sizes range from a few hundred m² for an SME or a cross-border branch to over 10,000 m² for headquarters or shared service centre projects.

Key commercial property hubs include Euralille, the business district connected to Lille Flandres and Lille Europe stations (35 minutes from Brussels), EuraTechnologies (150,000 m² dedicated to digital), EuraSanté (300 hectares dedicated to health and biotechnology) and Plaine Images in Tourcoing, specialising in creative industries. These sites offer high-end specifications: air conditioning, fibre optics, disability access, parking and coworking facilities.

Office rents significantly lower than in Brussels

CBRE (2025) places new office values in Lille between €140 and €300/m²/year, and between €80 and €210/m²/year for second-hand space. JLL (Q4 2025) indicates a prime rent of €300/m²/year in Lille city centre, compared with €400/m²/year in the CBD. The difference allows companies to lease office space near Brussels of equivalent surface area for a reduced budget, while accessing an available talent pool.

The region has over 70,000 jobseekers in services and the office sector. Premises in the main urban centres of Hauts-de-France also benefit from areas eligible for regional financial incentives, particularly under the Rev3 programme. Nord France Invest provides an online tool to evaluate cost differences to evaluate price differences between the region and key Belgian locations.

Direct access to Brussels, Zaventem and Flemish Brabant

Lille is reachable in 35 minutes from Brussels-Midi by TGV, and the E19 connects both cities in under 1h30 by road. Zaventem airport, an international hub, is under 2 hours away. Office space in Valenciennes, Douai or Lens is also within reach of the Belgian market via the A2 and A21 motorways.

For companies whose operations cover both Belgium and France, this cross-border environment provides a balance between controlled lease costs and rapid access to decision-making centres. The main cities of Hauts-de-France benefit from multimodal connectivity: motorway (A1, A26, E19), high-speed rail and Lesquin airport. The full range of commercial property in the region is available in the NFI catalogue.
