History
Ghelamco, 100% family owned, was created in 1985 by Mr Paul Gheysens. The company started as a general contractor focusing on industrial real estate. As the company grew, we expanded our operations to small offices and residential projects in Belgium. In the early nineties, Ghelamco Group identified opportunities in the Polish offices, warehousing and residential market. This heralded a highly successful expansion into that Central European country, where we have now gained invaluable experience in obtaining and executing building permits for the best available land plots.
Today, Ghelamco Group is a leading European real estate investor mainly active in the offices, residential, retail, leisure and logistics markets. It maintains a high quality internal control with respect for agreed milestones over all its project development phases: land purchase, planning, coordinating the construction phase and sale or lease. Its projects combine prime and strategic locations with efficient and aesthetically inspiring, sustainable green designs and correct timing. Its successes are generated by the group’s professional and enthusiastic staff that is driven by the vision and passion of its management.
Ghelamco is one of the largest commercial property developers and investors in Belgium and Poland and has realised a steep growth over the last number of years. The group’s market position has been recognized by numerous prestigious awards, collected over several years and granted both to the company and to many of its projects.
