From café-side broker to 1.5 million TikTok views

When the real estate market was weathering a storm, David Degroote was busy making new acquisitions. Together with his brother Jan, he leads this family business as the second generation — a company that, thanks to a debt ratio of barely 20%, was able to capitalise on the difficulties faced by fellow developers. 

From a land bank of 2,000 units to their groundbreaking Ever project with 580 square metres of immersive sales space — David explains why they choose continuity over constant change, why both CEOs attend key permit meetings in person, and why the best financing doesn't come from a bank, but from your own customers.
