Tosalu
Tosalu operates as the single-family office for the Desimpel family. It was established to handle private investments and financial assets centered in West Flanders. The structure keeps decision-making inside the family with three directors holding formal roles. The office deploys capital through direct co-investments and SPVs. Holdings include residential portfolios under Mare Nostra NV and Zeezicht NV along the Belgian coast plus mixed-use projects via Graaf Jansdijk Invest. Confirmed partners include the Deprez family in Greenyard NV and the Dejonghe family in earlier Pinguin NV transactions. Activity remains concentrated in Europe with no disclosed positions outside Belgium. Team size is not publicly stated. Thomas Desimpel also serves as Chapter Lead for NXT 3 at BeAngels while Samuel Desimpel runs Top Tier Access. No additional offices or philanthropic vehicles appear in available records. No operational events from the last 24 months have been identified. Tosalu maintains a closed governance model in which family members occupy all director seats. This limits external manager mandates and keeps co-investor relationships within a small set of Belgian industrial families.
