2023-09-14 07:49:20

One of the two Proximus towers, on Boulevard du Roi Albert II, transformed into housing. This project is currently under public inquiry (until October 13). Objective: reduce the proportion of offices and bring life to this district, the North district, which still bears the scars of the violent transformations undergone in the 60s and 70s with the Manhattan Project.

The North Quarter was designed at a time of utilitarian visionilitarianism of the city, where the function of offices had a dominant position. As it developed, the Northern district created urban divides, the East-West divide, the North-South divide, the divide between a city of residents and a city where people work. The time has come to reconnect the neighborhood with its residents, to repair the scars and to rethink the city“, estimate the project leaders, Proximus and Immobel. “This is what our project contributes to : transform this monofunctional district 100% offices into a dynamic, accessible, safe, lively district. A neighborhood that creates connections. A neighborhood where we liveut live, work, study, have fun, go shopping and sport, play. And above all, live.
