La Terrienne du Crédit Social, a financial institution in Belgium, relocated its headquarters from Porte Haute to Boulevard urbain in Luxembourg province.
The company originated as Immobilière Marchoise in 1936 and has expanded through several mergers to serve the provinces of Luxembourg and Namur. Philippe Frère, the director-general, stated the move reaffirms the company’s local presence and commitment to accessible financial services, including those for people with reduced mobility. La Terrienne provides financing for homeownership and energy-efficient renovations.
In 2025, the company processed 350 renovation applications, making it one of the top performers in Wallonia for that type of lending. La Terrienne grants between 100 and 120 mortgage loans annually. Frère anticipates changes in the housing sector with the creation of the Walloon Housing Agency and Local Housing Hubs, which aim to improve coordination and simplify processes for citizens. He believes their new, modern headquarters will support these efforts.
