Europea* aims to build 70,000 m2 of housing on the Heysel Plateau as part of the NEO Brussels project
70,000 m2 of housing is the equivalent of around 700 new homes of all types. Of which 15 to 25% are public housing (between 105 and 140 units).
The housing dimension of the Neo project is crucial given the current (public) housing crisis in Brussels.
As part of the 15-minute city concept, neighbourhood residents will be able to get to their homes, the shops, childcare, a care home, a sports park, existing structures on the site, etc., in under 15 minutes by bike or on foot.
The aim is to create a green, ultra-modern urban district. A city with a good mix of functions, cutting-edge mobility, social connections, trades and leisure, etc.
The project aims to set a new standard in terms of architecture and sustainable development.
As such, the partners of the NEO project are laying the foundation for a modern, connected urban district in Brussels.
*Europea is the consortium that will build and operate this multi-purpose district, one of the components of the NEO investment programme (in addition to the sports park, a convention centre, new roads, etc.). The partners of this European consortium are URW (Unibail Rodamco Westfield), Besix and CFE.
