New SME Park Rises in Genk, Offering Prime Space for Local Businesses
A prominent figure in the Limburg entrepreneurial scene, Carlo Vanlingen, is not only renowned for his successful car recycling business but is also making waves in the real estate sector. Vanlingen’s company, currently located along the Grote Baan in Houthalen-Helchteren, boasts an impressive recycling rate of nearly 98%, processing approximately 6,500 vehicles annually.
However, due to its location on the planned route for the North-South connection, Vanlingen’s recycling company is relocating to a new site in Genk’s Zwartberg district. This move presents an opportunity to significantly expand operations, with plans to more than double the company’s capacity and dismantle up to 15,000 vehicles per year. This ambitious project will focus on sustainable practices, transforming scrapped vehicles into valuable raw materials.
Beyond his recycling ventures, Vanlingen has established a real estate company, which is actively developing several notable projects. One such undertaking is a brand-new SME park situated near the company’s new location on Kompellaan in Zwartberg (Genk).
This state-of-the-art park will offer 21 units ranging in size from 194 to 753 square meters, providing exceptional opportunities for local businesses looking to establish themselves, expand their operations, or relocate. With the most affordable unit priced at 230,918 euros, the park anticipates strong interest from a diverse range of enterprises.
Construction of the SME park is well underway, with Lommel-based contractor Derdaele+ entrusted with bringing the project to fruition. Final delivery is slated for the second quarter of 2025. Jansen Real Estate in Zonhoven has been appointed as the sales partner, ensuring a seamless experience for potential buyers.
A Hub for Growth and Innovation
The SME park is poised to become a vibrant hub for entrepreneurial activity in Genk. By providing modern, well-equipped spaces tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, the park aims to foster a thriving business ecosystem.
The strategic location in Zwartberg, close to Vanlingen’s new recycling facility, further enhances the park’s appeal. It offers businesses the advantage of proximity to a leading-edge recycling operation, potentially opening doors to collaborative opportunities and resource sharing.
Sustainable Design Meets Business Needs
The SME park reflects a commitment to sustainable design and construction. Derdaele+ is incorporating eco-friendly practices into the project, ensuring that the buildings meet the highest environmental standards. From energy-efficient systems to the use of sustainable materials, the park aims to minimize its environmental footprint while providing a comfortable and productive work environment.
As the project progresses, anticipation is building among local businesses eager to secure a presence in this dynamic new space. The SME park promises to be a catalyst for economic growth and innovation in the Genk region.
