The high-end rental market is experiencing unprecedented growth in Belgium, driven by sustained demand, an increasingly international clientele, and a growing interest in exceptional properties. In 2024, Belgium Sotheby’s International Realty has established itself more than ever as a key player in this segment. Let’s take a closer look at the major trends to remember.
Remarkable growth in 2024
The year 2024 has been a landmark for our “Rentals” department. The prestige rental market showed strong momentum, with significant growth compared to 2023. This favorable context is the result of several factors: Belgium’s and particularly Brussels’ enhanced appeal to international profiles, the scarcity of quality properties, and our recognized expertise in this specific segment.

A largely international clientele
Brussels, as the European capital, continues to attract a demanding international clientele. In 2024, 63% of rental cases handled by our teams involved expatriates or diplomatic missions. This strong expatriate presence reflects the stability of the Belgian market and its appeal to institutions, embassies, and international companies.

Brussels : focus on the most sought-after districts
Certain Brussels municipalities attract particular attention from tenants looking for premium properties. The top three are clear:
- 1000 Brussels (City Centre): for its cultural dynamism and proximity to European institutions
- 1050 Ixelles: a cosmopolitan, elegant, and vibrant district, appreciated for its varied architecture and shopping
- 1180 Uccle: calm, green, and residential, favored by families and embassies for its exclusive living environment
