Districts in Brussels

The office market is the second largest in the capital, although the Brussels city centre also has a commercial, residential and leisure function. The office clusters are located near the new pedestrian zone in the city centre and near the central station (Brussels Central). The Heart of Brussels is home to many large office users, including public sector companies and companies in the financial and service sector.In addition to the presence of 3 main railway stations and access to a wide range of public transport, the historic heart of the city offers a trendy area with high quality new or renovated office space. It is a place known for its dynamism, especially in sub-neighbourhoods such as Marolles or Mont des Arts where you will find many services such as restaurants and shops.

The City Centre

The Pentagon office district was named after the recognisable pentagonal shape of the Brussels inner ring road that surrounds the city centre.&nbsp;

The North-Western Periphery consists of office clusters located just outside the western part of the Brussels ring road, with good motorway access to the E40 to Bruges, the E19 to Charleroi and Paris and the A12 to Antwerp. It is the cheapest office area in the Brussels region, with maximum rents of between &euro;135 and &euro;145 per m&sup2; per annum, less than half the levels applicable in the European Quarter. The North-Western Periphery is mainly home to small and medium-sized companies active in various service sectors.

The office towers and former industrial areas of the Northern Quarter are well-known landmarks in the city and future supply is guaranteed by major projects currently under construction. The district has three distinct office sub-districts.The first is the Espace Nord. It is home to large office towers (such as the Proximus Towers or the Word Trade Center III) known as "mini Manhattan", many of which have been redeveloped into high quality office towers with increased space for mixed use and new ways of working. Then there is the Botanique district with spacious office buildings, a renowned park and a prime location along Brussels' inner ring road. And finally, the Canal district, where old industrial buildings are being replaced by sustainable office buildings and new office concepts in combination with residential buildings.

The Quartier Midi-Lemonnier is at the heart of Brussels and Belgian economic activity thanks to its rich history and the presence of many international companies and organisations. Redevelopment projects planned for the area include a large office tower and a mixed-use area as well as new public transport such as the STIB Metro 3. Businesses in the area include the federal government. If you are looking for an area known for its economic dynamism and strategic location, offering easy access to the city's main transport arteries, come to the Quartier du Midi in Brussels.

The South District

The Quartier du Midi is the cluster of offices around the Brussels-Midi railway station, the main railway station in Brussels. The existing office buildings in this area are modern, mostly dating from the early 21ᵉ century and are centred around the Midi station.&nbsp;

Belgian companies from various sectors, including banking and finance, business services and TMT, are located in this area, as well as decentralized EU nodes. Accessibility by public transport can be excellent in some locations but varies from one sub-district to another.
