Provan Secures a New Production Facility in Genk with Support from Knight Frank

Deal Overview

Knight Frank has successfully advised Provan, part of the Kingspan Group and a long‑established manufacturing specialist in Genk, in securing a new industrial facility at Oosterring 12 (Macbeth – Genk 2). The site totals 11,144 sq m and is now fully let, marking an important milestone for the landlord Whitewood Logistics and their partner Tristan Capital Partners.

The leased accommodation comprises 10,854 sq m of production and storage space and 290 sq m of offices, providing Provan with the scale and technical capability required to support its forthcoming production program while remaining close to its existing operations.

The Challenge

The search involved several constraints typical of high specification production occupiers:

• finding a suitable production environment in a market dominated by logistics units;
• managing a short timeline linked to Provan's new production cycle;
• navigating low availability of large production ready sites, and;
• aligning technical requirements with the landlord's commercial expectations.

Value Delivered

Brenda Goethals led the mandate for Knight Frank, providing market knowledge, negotiation strategy and process coordination that were critical to the success of the deal.

Her key contributions included accurately filtering the market to identify production capable buildings, aligning Provan's operational needs with the landlord's expectations, mitigating risk in a tight market with few alternatives, and maintaining strong momentum and communication throughout the process.

Client Impact

The secured site provides Provan with a production environment suited to its upcoming project and supports operational continuity close to its existing facilities. It also meets the required timing and technical specifications needed to safeguard its production planning. This collaborative approach enabled the landlord to achieve full occupancy at Macbeth – Genk 2 and delivered a future‑proof industrial solution for Provan.

In Brenda’s own words

'This assignment highlights the value of our market intelligence. In Limburg, production ready sites of this scale are rare. By understanding both Provan's technical requirements and the landlord's expectations, we secured a solution that works on timing, and specification.', Brenda Goethals, Knight Frank
