Our story
Nicolas Bearelle
Revive is a boyhood dream come true. As a child, I drew my dream houses, but I also wanted to make a brighter future and I wanted to be an entrepreneur. When I met Piet Colruyt, the entrepreneur and investor, a unique collaboration emerged that would forever change the world of property development in Flanders and far beyond. What started in the attic in 2008 is now an international company with many talented revivers.
Piet Colruyt
As a believer avant la lettre, Piet Colruyt was at the founding of Revive and its totally new vision of project development. Even before becoming a director of Revive, one thing immediately appealed to him: the long-term focus of the company. ‘In contrast to the focus on quick money grab of many developers, Revive attaches just as much importance to social and environmental gain as to financial gain,’ says Piet Colruyt.

As the grandson of a contractor, I literally grew up on construction sites. I really looked up to my grandfather and wanted to follow in his footsteps. I started at Revive in 2013 as the youngest member of the team. I could never have imagined that 7 years later I would be leading the team to bring our meaningful projects to fruition. While my grandfather specialised in concrete, I am proud that with Revive we are leading the way with more sustainable solutions.
Our achievements
The B Corp certificate
Revive was the first Belgian company to be awarded the B Corp certificate – the most objective proof that social and ecological objectives are at least as important as profit. The B Corp certification enables us to show that, as a company and as an entrepreneur, we consider it important to pursue not only financial value, but also value for people and the environment.
