Good news! Minister for the Environment Zuhal Demir has just signed the environmental permit in Middelkerke allowing the construction of the casino in the same coastal municipality. This paves the way for the realisation of this long-awaited landmark.

We had to wait a while, but the construction of the Middelkerke casino can begin. At the end of January, we will start with the construction of a large shoring for our building site.

The casino of Middelkerke will be an absolute eye-catcher at the coast. Besides the gaming hall, an underground car park and a hotel, this brand-new attraction will also offer space to a restaurant, terrace, foyer and events hall for no less than 1,700 people.

The consortium that was awarded the contract, baptised Bouwteam Nautilius, is a collaboration between our own real estate developer Ciril, the Dutch architectural firms Zwarts & Jansma and Van den Oever and Zaaijer & partners, landscape architect Delva and, for the construction, contractor Furnibo from Veurne and us as Democo. Sister company Demtec Services will be involved in the project in the capacity of maintenance company. Stronger together!

The opening is planned for the end of 2023. We can't wait to get started!
