Urban Capital Group – The 5 living trends of 2018

Levi Dewaegenaere (CEO, Urban Capital Group) gives his vision on the living trends of 2018.

Het Laatste Nieuws published an article on 22/02/2018 about the 5 living trends of 2018 in Belgium. It may be said, with our most recent projects and current developments, we as Urban Capital Group are perfectly in line with these trends. Our CEO, Levi Dewaegenaere gives his own vision on the 5 living trends of 2018.

1. Smaller living

The concept of “living smaller” has been a major point of attention at Urban Capital Group for several years now. Not only because of the smaller sizes of families, more singles and the aging population. But also because of budget, more and more people opt for a smaller, but very efficiently furnished house or apartment.

With our interior finishing, we respond more and more to custom work and flexible spaces that meet the different needs of residents.

An example within Urban Capital Group is The Glass House in the old city center of Antwerp. We launched the concept of the “City Flat”, modern and qualitative living units of around 60m2. Fully equipped with custom-made cloakroom, closet, bedroom unit, kitchen and integrated shower room. Hyper modern and design as a common thread.

In Depot Cadix on the Antwerp Eilandje we developed highly efficient residential units. Perfect for young starters and families with children. Here too, a lot of customization was added to create the feeling of space. Moreover, the small shower rooms formed the ideal link between the different children’s rooms.

To top it all, Urban Capital Group is currently developing a site in the Brussels Tour & Taxi environment and is also focused on small residential units. The beautiful outdoor area and common areas give the concept a unique and modern character. Co-living & co-working at the top!

2. Back in the city

More and more people are moving back to the city. The provision of attractive projects, with sufficient facilities in the immediate vicinity, is decisive in this aspect.

With Depot Cadix we target young starters and families who believe in the city and want to live and work there. We have therefore focused strongly on mobility, by providing for, among other things, electric charging possibilities, a large number of easily accessible above ground bicycle places, and even specific storage places for cargo bikes.

As icing on the cake Urban Capital Group provided each apartment and house with a limited edition Depot Cadix folding bike or a personalized cargo bike.

In addition, the project was developed in a beautiful communal garden. As a result, we brought the added value of living in the green outer edge to the city.

By providing this project with commercial spaces on the ground floor, the proximity of shops and daily facilities was also considered.

3. The best of both worlds

The mix of space in a safe and livable environment and the proximity of shops, squares and play facilities is often decisive for buyers in the city.

With Depot Cadix, Berckendael and UniTUrban Capital Group responded perfectly to this living trend. A number of upcoming projects in both Brussels and Limburg are also being developed according to the same concept.

4. Living by the waterside

Living by the waterside has inspired many buyers for years. Whether as a daily home or as a seaside retreat. The success of our Depot Cadix project is partly due to its location (on the Antwerp Eilandje), the view of the Antwerp docks, and the vibrant energy of the area (with the MAS, the marina and the Scheldt quays nearby).

Urban Capital Group has not been idle for the past few months and is currently developing a beautiful residential project along the Willemsvaart in Maasmechelen. Living by the waterside is being elevated to a new living experience on the old industrial shipyard site.

5. Neighborhood feeling is important

As soon as a project is large enough, you have the opportunity as a developer to – as it were – create a neighborhood in a city or area. The communal green zones and public spaces enhance this neighborhood feeling. Clear success factors in projects such as Depot Cadix in Antwerp and UniTBerckendael in Brasschaat.

Urban Capital Group is fully focusing on this trend for its future projects and will soon be launching two beautiful new projects in the market with its new developments in Maasmechelen and Brussels, which are in line with the wishes of the Belgian buyer.

Urban Capital Group – Vision on sustainable building methods

CEO Levi Dewaegenaere gives his vision on sustainable building construction.

Sustainable development within Urban Capital Group

Urban Capital Group, the real estate development company of Levi Dewaegenaere and his wife Inge Caes, has specialized more and more in low energy projects. In addition to sustainability in terms of E and K values ​​(ie insulation and use of renewable energy), Urban Capital Group also has a sustainable vision for every new construction project that it develops.

Personal guidance, advice and inspiration

With Urban Capital Group, we have been working very strongly for years on personal supervising, advising and inspiring the customer. Through our Customer Guidance & Interior Design Service, we focus on a more sustainable living environment. All this is tailored to the individual needs and personal lifestyle of each client. Both today and in the future.

Urban Capital Group has specialized more and more in low energy projects in recent years.

Sustainable building within Urban Capital Group, more than a low E level

“Building Sustainable”. In the first instance, Levi naturally means sustainable or ecological construction and the implementation of sustainable technologies, but Urban Capital Group also goes one step further and focuses on sustainable living in all its facets. In other words, Urban Capital Group literally aims on the sustainable functioning of the resident in his / her new home, today and tomorrow. An example of this is, for instance, the installation of electrical sockets at a better reachable height for elderly residents. As well as integrating a cozy dining island in the kitchen. This is useful for people with small children where it has to go fast in the morning

Urban Capital Group – Not just bricks but a real home feeling

CEO Levi Dewaegenaere gives his vision on personal guidance.

Not just bricks, but a real home feeling

Every project is selected and finished with great care by the building developers Urban Capital Group. That is why the focus is strongly on personal guidance, with a lot of attention for interior choices. ‘We provide a feminine touch in the sector, with more lifestyle.’

Only projects in a prime or prime locations in the making at Urban Capital Group

Inge Caes, director of sales and development: ‘We focus on projects in which we see added value for the residents and for the environment. We only select beautiful locations or prime locations in the making. We not only look at the financial picture, but also our gut feeling must be right. The Glass House in Antwerp is a good example of this: it was falling apart and six project developers before us had already pulled out. But we saw many opportunities in that beautiful modernist building, near the old city center. Already when selecting new locations we take into account the future residents. We try to empathize with the target group: how they want to live; what their needs are.’

Urban Capital Group – unique because of its own development approach

‘What is special about our approach is that the commercial team is involved in the development process from the outset, according to Levi Dewaegenaere. Inge Caes is head of the ‘Development’ department, but also commercial head of the company. That is why we constantly keep the interests of our customers in mind throughout the entire process.’

Urban Capital Group sets the bar high when it comes to sustainability

At Urban Capital Group, we set the bar in terms of sustainability ever higher than the legally valid standards, according to Levi Dewaegenaere. The construction sector is a very conservative sector. As a company, we want to take our responsibility. But also for the customer a low energy house is interesting. The statutory energy standards in construction are becoming ever stricter. A low energy house has a much higher resale value.

Urban Capital Group – Passive living is the future

CEO Levi Dewaegenaere gives his vision on passive living.

Passive living is the future according to Levi Dewaegenaere, CEO of Urban Capital Group

The new development project Depot Cadix of project developer Urban Capital Group led by Levi Dewaegenaere shows that design and sustainability can go hand in hand. The building is compact but has something frivolous, while it was built according to strict passive standards.

Depot Cadix, example of synergy between strict energy requirements and creative design.

Building sustainable also means that you sometimes run into limitations, according to Levi Dewaegenaere. The percentage of glass in the façade cannot be too large, the volumes must be compact. The existing passive window frames on the market are still limited today. But you can handle it creatively. According to Levi, building sustainable does not mean sober and dry. Sustainable architecture can also have a contemporary touch. Various types of sunblinds were used for the façade to create a 2D feeling. The white bay windows and wooden elements create frivolity.

Averaging E level of E35, beyond the legally required standard.

When you develop a project in accordance with the applicable standards at the time of the building application, you might have an outdated building by completion. The standards are becoming stricter, also in the long term. In Belgium, we have stood still for a long time, we are in need of catching up. Today, zero energy houses are being built. But we will evolve towards self-supplying systems, where everything is reused and recycled. In Asia, people are already incredibly experimenting with that.

Numerous advantages with Passive living

Passive construction means simplification. There is less heating required, fewer pipes and smoke drains, a smaller boiler. There are numerous benefits. You have a pleasant living environment in terms of light, air and heat. And the outside sounds are also muted. In addition, fossil fuels will only become scarcer and therefore more expensive in the future. Therefore, a passive house is a perfect answer to the ever higher monthly fixed costs associated with a house. According to Levi, sustainable building is an evolution that can not be stopped anymore.

Urban Capital Group – Sustainability certified partners

CEO Levi Dewaegenaere gives his vision on sustainably certified partners.

Urban Capital Group joins forces with sustainability-certified partners for finishing materials

For our low-energy projects, Urban Capital Group, under supervision of Levi Dewaegenaere, offers its buyers only bio-ecological responsible finishing materials. Because Urban Capital Group only works with sustainability-certified suppliers, they can offer this quality. All this for kitchens, sanitary, floors, etc.

The right partners make the difference

The kitchen brand Siematic has been FSC approved, says Levi. In doing so, the control of sustainable forest management, the protection of rare tree species and the prevention of violation of human rights are priorities. For SieMatic, sustainability also means minimizing transport and energy consumption, more efficient use of materials and reuse of waste. They are also pioneers in the kitchen industry, who use water-based paints for wood and veneer. Lacquered fronts of SieMatic are in principle styrene-free. No plastic film is used and therefore there is no PVC in the environment. Employees at Siematic are also supported in their sustainability-oriented thinking and acting.

At Schrauwen sanitary facilities, high use is made of rainwater recuperation, solar boilers, condensation cabinets, sparse cranes and the like. Because the plumbing industry has real development growth in sustainable techniques, Schrauwen follows it closely.

F&T parquet and Ecomat worked with PEFC and FSC labeled parquet and oils that are not harmful to nature.

At RG Tiles & Torfs Tiles too, most of the producers in Europe are obliged to work ecologically: cradle to cradle is the norm, the use of renewable energy is greatly encouraged, as are water treatment plants & the reuse of water.

Urban Capital Group – Sustainable Building Vision

CEO Levi Dewaegenaere gives his vision on sustainable building.

From the practical point of view, we at Urban Capital Group have increasingly felt the need for a new way of developing in recent years, the development of conceptual projects tailored to the customer on the one hand and great attention to sustainable development on the other, says Levi Dewaegenaere.

In our ambition to raise sustainable construction to a higher level, Levi Dewaegenaere is looking for a suitable location with Urban Capital Group for some time. Because it is important to create an affordable, passive new construction project tailored to the trendy, demanding Antwerp resident.

That is why we speak of a very strong vision for the competition site “Building Block C2”. From which a clear ambition grows towards the development of a total vision for the Cadix at neighborhood level. That is why Levi Dewaegenaere likes to work with the city council to develop a new, visionary and innovative living experience for Antwerp. That is missing in our city today.

Urban Capital Group is responding to international trends with project Depot Cadix.

With the Cadix C2 project proposal Levi dewaegenaere and his team in Antwerp want to respond to the international trend of affordable and sustainable living.
