About
Revitalizing vacant spaces.
Creating lasting value for owners, cities, people, and the planet.
Creating Value with Vacant Property
RESPACE was created with a mission to revitalize vacant spaces and deliver value to all stakeholders—property owners, city officials, local communities, and end users. By transforming these spaces, RESPACE contributes to the vibrancy of cities, fostering connections and creating opportunities that benefit everyone.
With a tailored methodology that focuses not just on the spaces themselves but on understanding the environment, the context, and the specific needs of property owners, RESPACE ensures that every intervention adds significant value to vacant property and its environment.
Utilizing an expanded network of partners and blending diverse fields of expertise, RESPACE manages properties and transforms them into dynamic spaces for short-term office users, artist residencies and exhibitions, cultural actors, photo shoots, events, and more. Each use is carefully curated to maximize value, tailored to the unique characteristics of each space.
A multidisciplinary team of professionals, each bringing unique expertise, collaborates to transform vacant properties into valuable, purpose-driven spaces, ensuring every project is handled with the utmost care and precision.
Since 2010, RESPACE has invested in, managed, and added value to over 50,000 m² of transitional building space in Belgium.
A Multidisciplinary Team of Professionals.
