Revitalise the city by generating sense and well being
Wilhelm & Co’s ambition is to contribute to building city neighbourhoods in order to enhance their social, economic and cultural life. To do so, the Group takes into account society’s new social and environmental expectations and strives to bring welfare to all those who visit its urban developments, but also to those who work and reside there.
Peter Wilhelm
“We design urban developments anchored by retail, but whose aim is much wider. Our projects are genuine living spaces that offer a variety of functions, around a strong identity. Médiacité is a good example thereof, as is also L’esplanade in Louvain-la-Neuve. This centre successfully brings visitors from all around the province and even from the capital, even though retail represents only 40% of the whole development. The main component of the project was to develop a vibrant and pleasant urban destination and to allow this university town to access all the functionalities that were missing before. I am very proud of L’esplanade success, but I am also very satisfied when I come across people who go to L’esplanade simply to enjoy a walk, or a relaxing moment, because all of this testifies of the project’s good integration in Louvain-la-Neuve’s daily life."
