The European District: An ideal location for businesses in Brussels

Offices for rent and sale in the European District

The European District, also known as the Leopold District, is the largest administrative district in Brussels, with a 3.3 million square meter office park, accounting for 25% of the office market in Brussels. You will undoubtedly find your ideal office space for rent or purchase in Brussels. Approximately 40% of the park is occupied by European Union institutions, making them the primary occupants of the European District. This sought-after district also houses the majority of country/region/city representations, lobbyists for the European Commission, and companies that want to be located close to decision-makers of the European Institutions.

The offices in the North-East periphery are mainly located in the municipalities of Zaventem, Machelen, Vilvoorde and Sint Stevens-Woluwe. They benefit from the proximity of Brussels Airport, the Brussels Ring Road, an extensive green environment and lower property taxes applicable in the Flemish Region.Originally, the area attracted small and medium-sized companies in the technology and business services sector. Although this is still the case, the recent addition of large office buildings in the Brussels Airport terminal area has attracted large multinationals from different sectors.The airport sub-district benefits from excellent national and international travel connections, shopping malls and hotels, as well as future expansion possibilities on the site.

North-East periphery

North-East Periphery

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;

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. Companies looking for a headquarters with a Brussels address in a green environment with better traffic flow than the city center will find their ideal location in this area.

The Decentralized area

The Decentralized area contains almost one fifth of the office stock in Brussels. It consists of clusters of offices offering a Brussels address at rental levels between 50% and 60% of those in the European Quarter.&nbsp;

The district has three distinct office sub-districts.The first is the Espace Nord.

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.

North District
