Q-Park will operate car parks in Hasselt and Genk
Q-Park Belgium will operate the Dusartplein, Molenpoort, Parking TT (TweeTorenwijk) and Luikerpoort car parks in Hasselt. And in Genk we will add the Shopping 1 car park the Q-Park Stadsplein and St-Martinus parking facilities. This concerns a total of 3,215 parking spaces: 1,965 in Hasselt and 1,250 in Genk.
For this, Q-Park Belgium has acquired the shares of various companies that had been in the hands of a few Limburg families since the 1970s. This acquisition is an important milestone for Q-Park Belgium. In the coming years, the company will invest in the car parks and introduce the Q-Park house style.
Philip De Brabanter: “We have always maintained good contact with the shareholders of these car parks in Hasselt and Genk. Mutual trust grew gradually and this agreement was realised in a professional and respectful manner. Hasselt, the capital of the province of Limburg, is a very attractive cross-border town and in Genk we can now expand and offer our customers greater parking convenience.”
Q-Park Belgium is currently expanding rapidly and has significantly strengthened its market position.
At the end of last year Q-Park was awarded a contract to build and operate the Bruul car park in Mechelen (350 parking spaces), for which construction has already started.
Earlier in 2016, long-term contracts were agreed in Antwerp for the Handelsbeurs (284 parking spaces) and Century Center (219 parking spaces) car parks.
At the end of November, construction and operation of the underground car parks beneath the Zuiderdokken (> 2,000 parking spaces) was awarded to Q-Park.
Q-Park Belguim concludes a very successful year with the acquisition of the car parks in Hasselt and Genk.
