A joint development project led by Delhaize, Delimmo, and Skyhome is proposing a complete transformation of a local site through total demolition and reconstruction. The plan focuses on integrating commercial activity with recent residential units in a streamlined architectural design.
Commercial and Sustainable Infrastructure
Under the current proposal, commercial operations will occupy nearly the entire ground floor of the new building. To improve environmental efficiency, the rooftops are designed to hold 268 photovoltaic panels.
The project also aims to enclose and cover various technical and logistical areas. This includes the unloading dock, maneuvering areas, drivable paths, and technical installations.
Residential Expansion and Layout
The development includes a housing component consisting of 22 new apartments. The distribution is split between two fronts, with 18 units planned for the chaussée d’Alsemberg side and four units for the avenue Mozart side.
According to the project file, 82% of these residences will be apartments featuring two or three bedrooms. To ensure privacy and convenience, each unit will include a private cellar and a terrace, with residential access kept separate from the supermarket entrance.
Mobility and Parking Logistics
To manage traffic and parking, the project proposes two underground levels of parking. These levels will provide a total of 103 car spaces, with 87 designated for the supermarket and 16 reserved for residents.
the site will incorporate 110 dedicated spaces for bicycles to support alternative transport options.
Next Steps for the Project
The proposal is currently subject to a public inquiry, which remains open until May 29. Depending on the outcome of this process, the project may move forward with the total demolition of the site’s existing buildings.
