TRANSFORMING BROWN ASSETS INTO BRIGHT COMMUNITIES
REVIVE WORLD aims to connect innovators, entrepreneurs, universities, policymakers and researchers with investors to co-invent and leverage the transformation towards community and environmental-driven real estate development. Here you will get insights into the strategy, results and ambitions of Revive, a value and purpose-driven Belgian project developer on a mission to build more liveable and lovable cities.
At Revive we look at project development as an opportunity to tackle environmental
and societal problems and provide tangible answers to some of the world’s biggest
challenges: climate change, environmental degradation, housing inequality and
loneliness. It is about taking the lead and doing better for all.
15 years of Revive
Revive is a value and purpose project developer with a mission to build vibrant places for better lives, respecting planetary boundaries. Since 2009 we have built a diverse portfolio of projects across a range of scales and with a mix of functions. Founded and based in Belgium we have a track record of completed and scheduled projects in our domestic market, with exciting ventures in Poland and Portugal as well.
We believe that nothing is more sustainable than using what is already there. As such we only redevelop old industrial sites and vacant buildings and land, creating quality, sustainable and affordable new-build and renovation projects that become vibrant and integrated neighbourhoods. Through innovation and energy-efficient technologies, we build with a minimal ecological footprint.
SEG AT HEART
From day one it was never about being the best of the world, but the best for the world. To become an example in creating urban ecosystems that will improve our cities, making people happier and healthier. Systematically focusing on solutions for people and the planet through regenerating abandoned and contaminated sites into sustainable communities is the only respectful answer for our future society.
As a community-driven project developer, we have always prioritised the application of SEG principles over ESG, so no, the title here is not a typo. Our baseline “We build society, not real estate” has been at the core of everything we do since the very first day. While we have always acknowledged the significance of environmental stewardship, it is our belief that social impact carries an equal if not greater weight, creating lasting value for communities. With growing numbers of loneliness and social isolation throughout European cities, and no or little indication of change, our commitment to creating connected communities, and securing the well-being of society, the environment and the economy, is now more relevant than ever.
We know that we cannot achieve our goals alone, so we are committed to collaborating with our stakeholders, partners and communities to drive positive change. Together, we can create a better future for all. Join us as we continue to create a major impact in people’s lives.

The values of Victrix and Revive are very similar and the ambitions to realise impact together was the trigger to take this important step. Victrix has acquired 15% of Revive World, the top holding of the Revive group, and is subscribing to a hard commitment of 40 million euros. In doing so, we want to further support and strengthen the great story of the past 15 years
