Thanks.
But what do you mean by "mini la defense" ?

Density, concept,... ?

Great Update!

I've been in Brussels and Antwerp last week and I was really surprised about the large-scale development taking place in both cities! I was particularly pleased by the fact that both cities try to get rid of their postwar urban failures!

@himer

Could you also give some information on low-rise developments?

are the tour martini and rogier tower the same ???

Yes, martini tower and Rogier tower are the same.

Indeed the real name is CIR : Centre International Rogier, but an advertisement (for martini) on the top of the old Rogier tower has given a new name to this tower.

A further name will be “Dexia tower”, through the owner of the new tower.

That’s true and it’s quite amazing for some parts of these cities. There are not only buildings but also urban environment that will be reorganized.
About Brussels: renovation of boulevards in the centre, parks, a new pedestrian in the centre; a new national theatre; new tramways; new undergrounds trains; a new rail network for the suburbs …

The Atomium, the north station, the midi station, the justice palace, several churches, several underground stations, the anspak centre, “the innovation” (one of greater commercial centre in the city), “the administrative city” are going to be renovated or are under renovation.

Many low-rises are under development but I can’t post any pics, practically all architect’s web site have been made with flash, sorry.

Anyway, some pictures from a non-architect's web site.

etc etc…

I can't undersatnd why so little is known about Brussels when there are so many projects as this. I presume the comparison to la defence reffered to the fact that it's a highrise district with a nice progression of heights. The lowrise developments look superb as well, especially the swiss life headquarters.

I love Brussels! :angel1:

The modern lowrise architecture in Brüssel is amazing. It just looks as good as all the prewar masterpieces.

good job!:okay:

Brussels is powerfull!

The rogier tower isreally going to be the most beautifull building in Belgium and in Holland. A building in glass, even the roof, I love it!

WOW That looks very nice! What is the last photo? What is Central Plaza? Another building?

Brussels is one of my favourite cities! :)

Wow, what quality designs there (both high & especially lowrise), i'm jealous...

Madou Tower

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/Dscf1965.jpg
The Madou Tower is renovated to a beautiful skyscraper. I think it's one of the most beautiful skyscrapers in Belgium. It has a height of 120 meters. The top of the building is made of iron and white glass, that counts 10 meters.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/Dscf1968.jpg
The tower dominates the whole area.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/Dscf1966.jpg
This is the top of the tower.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/Dscf1969.jpg
The Madou Tower from closeby. The edge in beton you see on the picture will be covered soon with the same white glass like on the top.

This is the actual roof. You can climb this up with the ladder.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/Dscf1871.jpg
This is the limit! Here you are on a height of 120 meters! What you can see up here is some sattelites and a great view on the skyline of the city! :eek2:

So are the people!

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/1.jpg
This is the building just next to the Madou Tower. I don't think it looks beautiful but remember that the Madou Tower looked exactly the same a few years ago so I think it will also be renovated in the future.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/giergel/Brussel/Madou/2.jpg

The total sq/m office space available in the north space: + - 1.370.200 sq/m
(Projets/constructions are not included)

This is included only buildings in the Espace Nord - Noordruimte . (North Space) which is only a part of the north of the city. The Atomium is situated in the north of this district but the place which atomium is located is not called “North district”.

In reality the “North Space” is in the center of the city and located along the Boulevard Albert II.

The total sq/m office space available in the north space in 2009 : + - 2.406.200 sq/m
(Thurn&Tassis project included).




Towers in project or in construction in the north space:

150m Thurn und Tassis
------ Probably a future never build but nothing is decided yet. 180.000m² are planned.

?m Unnamed – 75.000m² are planned on a very little space.
------ Perhaps more info at the end of the week

+- 150m TBR -- exclusive info ;)
------ 41 floors +- 80.000m²

144m Rogier Tower (CIR)
------ 37 floors 101.000 m²

140m Finance Tower
------ 36 floors 220.000 m²

85m Block 65 (Park Tower)

They will renovate the finance tower very soon! +- 150m TBR -- exclusive info
------ 41 floors +- 80.000m² --> Are they building this tower right now or is it just a plan???

When I was in Brussels last week I saw just across the Galaxy Towers they where also building a office building. Which building is that? More info please.

Just next to the Galaxy Towers they are building something.

Just next to the Galaxy Towers they are building something.

This building is the block 65. (85m)

The constructions works of the TBR will begin next year. (On the other side of the street). In reality this an existing tower (around 20 floors) that will be upgraded.

Nice, I didn' know their were so much projects running in Brussels !
I love Brussels it's my Birthplace and i don't kow enough about it.

Isn't the Rogier Tower actually called Dexia Tower?

The Rogier Tower has been demolished and on the same spot the Dexia Tower is U/C

OK, because on page 1 of this thread it says Rogier Tower. I think I took a pic of the Dexia Tower, I'll look for it later on.

Nice towers! Will Royal Rogier be build close to the Martini Tower? I see already some improvement!

http://users.skynet.be/bs605555/finance134.jpg

As you can see on the pic, the royal rogier is under construction between the dexia tower and the railways. The royal rogier (still under ground level) will be parallel with railways and the botanic building (which is on the right of railways).

P.s : the atomium is visible on right top of the pic :)

Thx Himer, very nice pic, i didn't thought the Tour Rogier was rising that fast.
Where did you take it from by the way ? i would bet on the Tour Finance but i'm not sure at all.

Yes your are right. I took this pic on the roof of the tower.

:eek2: AMAZING!!!! Can you go on the Finance Tower????

Brussels North will be so beatifull when everything's finished!

There are still buildings under construction in the North area. Like Royal Rogier, Martini... Wenn all of that is finished it will be a nice place! But still, I think buildings like the WTC need a facelift because all the buildings look the same over there!

I just mean when all the work is done, the north side will have a great look. Maybe the word beautifull isn't the right word but mighty is! When you drive with the train through the north station it's great to see all those buildings but with the dexia and the royal rogier towers finished it will be super!
That's a quite good proposal you got there De Snor but it will stay a dream eh. :)

Nice design for an amazing city. Brussels is fascinating

Thanks for those pics :)

I have a proposal for the WTC towers :

Built the eight tower and then connect all those 8 buildings with a kind of sail on top of them so the square below can be used as a giant pedestrian area to be used all year round !

In 1964 politics planned to build two freeways between the 8 wtc towers. The 2 freways were supposed to cross each other perpendicularly (superimposed) between the 8 towers. One of them to connect Gent-Oostende and liège. The other one to connect Antwerpen and Paris.

Pedestrians bridges were supposed to connect the 8 towers 13m above the street.

:runaway: AMAZING!!!! Can you go on the Finance Tower????

I would like to go there again but I can't.
A visit was organised by the "Pleinopenair" during this summer.

You are so lucky you could go up there! It's like a dream for me! Next time I go to Brussels I will try going UP.

are there any (suggestive) plans to built new WTC towers? :)

Tower 8 could be built but when ??

I don't think it will ever be build. Block 65 will probable be the last big structure at the north station.

This is Block 65. It's u/c
85m

http://img87.exs.cx/img87/1874/BLOCK65.jpg

I don't like Nord. It's dead over there. I don't like the structures. Only the Belgacom Towers look a bit nice.

Dead? The galaxy towers (102m) are just finished, now they nuilding the Dexia Tower (144m), Royal Rogier (100m) , Block 65 (85m) and soon they will renovate the finance tower (120m). You call this dead???

The future plans are quite dead though! This was just a short-term live-up after decades of slow building.

indeed. But I meant now. ;)

You are so lucky you could go up there! It's like a dream for me! Next time I go to Brussels I will try going UP.

I hope that you will carry out your dream.

Is that the height of where the towers exactly begin then ?

Wtc 1 and wtc 2 have been built on a base which is 13m tall. There is the same base with wtc3, the manhattan center and the amelinckx tower. Pedestrian bridges were supposed to connect all bases together and pedestrians were supposed to walk on those bases. On original plan there were no entry at the ground level.

Tower 8 could be built but when ??

The construction of the last wtc has been approved by the belgian governement but there is no money to built it at the moment.

On 1 km² (Projects/constructions) :
Galaxy tower I : 110m, Galaxy tower II : 110m (not finished yet), Dexia Tower 144m, Royal Rogier (100m), Block 65 (85m), finance tower (140m), TBR (+-150m), Block 61 (100m), Bolivard (100 – 150m ?), wtc 4 (105m) …

If there are no other projects it’s because there is no place to build anything more.

On this picture practically everything has been built since 1994… (Excepted Wtc and the manhattan center.)

damn, i was next to Dexia tower construction site this summer and was wondering what it is :D . I love Brussels, the best city to be Europe's capital...

Does anybody has some pictures of the new projects in Brussels like block 61, TBR, ...

Dexia today:
http://img31.echo.cx/img31/234/dexia20050430a9cn.jpg

I found a new drawing of how tour-taxis will look like in the future:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/euroboyarne/aerial.jpg

the tower (at right in the middle) will be between 100 and 150 meters high. :)

I see around 4 high towers, are they all going to be build in the future or is this just a proposal?

Here a few pictures taken from the Tour & Taxis site:

new project : Brussels Tower

http://www.brusselstower.be

Weird, Brussel is easily one of the most active European cities in terms of construction but it hardly receives any replies. So even here on this forum Belgium maintains its image of the traditional underdog. :sleepy:

Anyway, I followed one of the links posted on the first page and came up with this amazing looking project.

http://www.atelier-art-urbain.com/NEW/images/a02_62212_IS.jpg

LA GLACIERE

IMMO CHASSE ROYALE
Brussels (B)
19,244 sq.m.


Does someone here know something about its status?

Has anybody got a picture of Nort Galaxy when it's finished

thanks

Hi Einzelgänger,
I looked at the 'Brusels tower'- link you supplied. Thanks! A very nice project! At last something really contemporary on a high architectural level. Next to the rather boring towers of the architect Jaspers & Co or Montois, it's outstanding and eye-catching! (what a pity that jaspers signed for allmost every project in the 'espace Nord'... He must have pretty good ploitical connections... :ohno: )
Is this project approved ? if yes, when are renvations starting ?
if no, I hope the Brussels region will not be as stupid again to decline it, so another uggly compromise has to be looked for...

but, when real skyscrapers are added next to the half skyscrapers, it makes a skyline..
