Realex

At the heart of the European quarter, Realex is emerging: a mixed-use project that will house the European Commission’s future conference center, along with offices and a ground floor animated by shops.

In this densely populated neighborhood, discussions with local residents and stakeholders revealed a need for more greenery and quiet retreats. Realex responds to this need by creating a landscaped public space that connects two strategic streets bordering the building. It’s a place for everyone to pause and meet, in the heart of this intense urban environment. A concrete response to expectations about quality of life and functional diversity.

Realex, built on one of Brussels’ busiest thoroughfares, is a particularly complex architectural and logistical achievement. Perfectly connected to public transport and with bicycle parking, showers, and parking spaces for electric vehicles, the project meets the neighborhood’s mobility challenges.
