Since 2023, the Travaux Suspendus association, born from the Cabestan cooperative, has applied the “suspended coffee” concept to the building sector.
The idea? Help vulnerable households—those poorly housed or facing energy insecurity—access home renovation through collective solidarity. Building professionals and cooperatives step in to fund and carry out work not covered by public programs. A first project with the National Association of Companion Builders helped a single mother escape energy poverty.
👏 Kudos to Travaux Suspendus for their inspiring commitment to dignity, ecology, and mutual aid!

EXTENDAM & VICARTEM have acquired the Atlas Hotel Brussels, located in the dynamic Dansaert district near the Grand Place. The project aims to transform the site into a 4-star independent boutique hotel that will elevate Brussels’ hospitality scene.
🔑 88 rooms in a cosmopolitan hub, offering a unique blend of comfort, elegance, and local flair.
EXTENDAM’s Inès de l’Aulnoit and Alexandre Guérin shared: “The Belgian market has always intrigued us. Since the pandemic, the hotel industry has bounced back, with RevPAR up 13.6% from 2019 to 2023. This acquisition fills a gap in the boutique hotel segment in Brussels.”
🔨 Next steps: major renovations to make the hotel a go-to for travelers seeking authenticity and style.
