” Brussels is the capital of the European Union and home to many large multinationals, ‘ says Esa van den Heuvel, spokeswoman for project developer Triple Living. ‘Every year our capital attracts more and more expats and highly educated high potentials. And they will undoubtedly find their way to the Banks.’The state-of-the-art new construction project offers a solution to the acute shortage of quality, affordable housing in and around Brussels. In total, the project brings more than 200 sustainable and quality homes to the city.
The fact that the Banks is eagerly awaited is not only due to the spacious and high-quality housing. The vibrant, green neighborhood, the accessibility and the excellent central location near Tour & Taxis and the bustling Noordwijk also make the appeal of the project all the greater.

This neighborhood has unprecedented growth potential
The neighborhood around the Brussels Avenue is currently undergoing a true metamorphosis. With new bridges and parks, cultural attractions and attractive residential projects (such as the Banks), the old industrial zone is slowly but surely becoming a more than attractive meeting place. The Banks master plan focuses strongly on the quality of life for the residents and is in line with the great Greening and upgrading of the surrounding area.
In front of the Banks buildings now stretches the long-awaited Becopark, a wide green boulevard of 3.2 hectares. The Beco Park is 750 meters long and runs from Sainctelette to the Shipowners ‘ Square at the UP site tower. In total, there are no less than 4 parks in the vicinity, including the large landscape park on the nearby Tour & Taxis site. That park, like the green space of the Banks, was designed by landscape architect Bas Smets. The Beco Park and the Tour & Taxis park are also connected to each other, which has given the project a large expanse of green oasis.
The Sky is the Limit
In the long term, the Banks and its surroundings offer unprecedented growth potential. ” The Sky is the limit for this neighborhood, ‘ says van den Heuvel. ‘Thanks to the development of Tour & Taxis, the neighborhood has already received an incredible boost in recent years. Creative enterprises, cultural events, services, retail and innovative initiatives: they have turned this neighborhood into a vibrant place to live, work and meet, where young people and professionals come in large numbers. In the future, the environment will be much more interesting for investors. For example, on the former Citroën site there will be the Centre Pompidou, a 35,000 square meter art museum. The Old goods station on the Tour & Taxis site – the Gare Maritime – will become a giant market and Event Hall. And if you want to make the crossing to the bustling Noordwijk, you can nowadays just take the brand new Suzan Daniel Bridge. That was the missing link of the neighborhood for a long time.”
