The plans for reconstruction of the headquarters building are also motivated by the Bank’s determination to meet the highest environmental and energy performance standards. The plans are also in line with the Bank’s overall strategy for the regrouping of its main premises in Brussels. The new headquarters of BNP Paribas Fortis will be able to accommodate 4,500 workstations, 70% more than current capacity, with an unchanged overall floor space of 95,000 m². The current building, dating from the 1970s, is no longer able to meet the challenges of providing the best use of space, energy efficiency, effective management of maintenance costs, and standards officially required for new buildings.īNP Paribas Fortis reached the conclusion that the most value would be added by constructing a new building on the same site, which blends in with its urban surroundings, also benefiting from a variety of convenient transport solutions, and whose floor layout, facilities and services meet the most advanced standards in terms of sustainability and employee well-being, both in terms of organising workspaces and providing facilities and services. In April 2012, BNP Paribas Fortis announced plans to build its new headquarters in Montagne du Parc in the centre of Brussels. This investment will provide BNP Paribas Fortis and BNP Paribas with a stronger presence in the heart of the European capital. The future complex will enable the Bank to manage operating costs more efficiently, improve employee quality of life, provide sustainable mobility solutions, while also meeting demanding criteria for socially responsible development. After demolishing the current building, construction of the new premises is expected to be completed towards the end of 2021.
