A-STAY ’s formula offers people a place to stay from one night up to 1 year and will also rent out offices, all in one location, in one project. This evolution where the borders between living and working disappear is new and offers finally solutions for the big mono-functional office districts. Sharing office and staying facilities such as parking, lobby function, laundry is a win-win situation for mobility, energy use and above all social contact. In a complex of 24.000m² business people will mingle with the student on a 6 months course, with the tourist visiting Brussels for a weekend, with the expat on a 1 year project, with the residents of the studios who enjoy all the services and connectivity.

The spine through this new concept is a shared ground floor area. This will ensure a lively fun plinth for the three buildings, where occasional encounters take place, where meeting rooms during the day become event rooms in the evening, where bookings, food, reservations, parking, shared bikes, events, and other needs are managed by the A-STAY network for the entire complex.

The project has 3 distinct buildings and a big shared ground floor. The first is a high-rise building which offers 210 units for short and mid-stay; the second is an existing office building which will be renovated and integrated in the project; the third is a high-rise volume that comprises of long stay units with breath-taking views over Brussels.

Each buildings has their distinct character and shares a large communal ground floor which consists characterized through its canopy and colonnades.
