Terhills Resort by Center Parcs has been acquired by TwentyTwo Real Estate

May 2026 — Terhills Resort, a premium resort in Belgium combining luxury and nature located near Hoge Kempen National Park and operated by Center Parcs, has been sold by venture capitalist LRM to TwentyTwo Real Estate, an independent real estate investor and operator. Both the real estate and the operations were included in the transaction, and Center Parcs is staying on board as an operational partner.

Once a mining and gravel extraction site, Terhills has been repurposed and redeveloped by LRM into a leisure ecosystem with a luxurious resort operated by Center Parcs. Based in Limburg province, it also serves as a gateway to the Hoge Kempen National Park and offers a wide range of amenities, including a hotel, wellness center and shops. Thanks to the strategic presence of these on-site partners, Terhills attracts numerous international visitors each year. Since opening in May 2021, the park has welcomed more than 400,000 guests, accounting for 1.5 million overnight stays.

TwentyTwo Real Estate manages US$6.1 billion in assets across Europe. Founded in 2012, it combines deep financial expertise with operational excellence to deliver value-creating investment solutions and asset management services to institutional and private clients, with a focus on sustainable impact.
