About us

Next Day Real Estate, as commercial platform of Next Day Sustainable Holdings SRL, focuses on developing, leasing, and/or selling affordable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly residential properties.

Our projects are built around an overall living concept that includes all essential amenities and services, located in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France.

These three countries are at the heart of the European Union, with an average income per capita higher than most other EU nations. As the population and number of households in these areas continue to grow rapidly, there is a pressing need for affordable, ESG-compliant residential units, which are currently in very short supply.
