Delhaize and Montea presented their plans for the construction of a new home shop centre in Vorst. The site is located in Vorst, a central location on the outskirts of Brussels where Delhaize has a large Home Delivery customer base. The new building is being developed by real estate investor Montea who purchased the former Lipton site back in 2008 as part of a long-term redevelopment program. In the meantime, demolition works of the old buildings on the site have started. It is the partners’ ambition to have the new e-commerce centre operational by early autumn 2024.
"The construction of the new home shop centre in Vorst is certainly not an endpoint, but an important next step towards even further growth," said Chloe Thoelen, Senior Vice President of e-commerce at Delhaize. “We continue to work hard and invest to make it as easy as possible for our customers. We aim to deliver their groceries to their homes in an increasingly efficient and sustainable way."
Xavier Van Reeth, Country Director Montea Belgium: “We are delighted to welcome an e-commerce partner like Delhaize in such a strategic location, on the outskirts of Brussels. This development marks the final piece of the long-term redevelopment project of the former Lipton site in Vorst. The new building fits perfectly with the sustainability policy of our portfolio and forms the basis for a long-term partnership between Montea and Delhaize.”
