Smartflats

Smartflats is the number 1 in Belgium in the “apart-hotel” segment: they fit and rent out extremely well-located flats in the city center and offer them for short stays. They currently manage more than 250 flats (+ 70 since start of negotiation in June 2020) and their growth is accelerating (75 in the Pipeline).

With their accommodation for business and tourism 2.0, guests are independent, everything is digitalised and flexible, and the model has proved its effectiveness against traditional hotel systems, with Smartflats achieving 70% occupancy in a full year of covid. We believe that Smartflats is a rare gem in Belgium in the smart living sector.


Their current model of management mandate (Opco) has proved its relevance, but this does not exclude to study the purchase of real estate (Propco). TCD Capital, in agreement with the management, considers that the critical size will be reached with 400 apartments in management, which should be reached before the end of 2022 in Belgium, Luxembourg and France only in organic growth.


We have already identified the potential partners or buyers of Smarflats and believe that the milestone of 1,000 apartments under management will be the starting point for a possible exit (2024-2025).

Finally, we would like to point out that there are still a few places left for the co-investment amounting to €2.1m for which around 50% have already been reserved.
