History
On 30 August 1995, “Woluwe Garden D SA” was founded, a subsidiary of the Bernheim-Comofi group (now AG Real Estate), with the mission of buying and letting buildings. The company was originally devoted mainly to the management of a building named "Woluwe Garden D", at boulevard de la Woluwe No 24, Zaventem (St Stevens Woluwe).
The Bernheim-Comofi group then decided to expand its subsidiary's property portfolio, which was then renamed Befimmo and converted into a Société en Commandite par Actions. On 29 November 1995, Befimmo was approved by the Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission: the first Belgian fixed-capital real-estate investment trust (Sicafi) was introduced on the stock market.
In 2012, Befimmo became a Limited Liability Company and by the end of 2014, the Company became a B-REIT.
