AN INSPIRING PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND RELAX

Tour & Taxis is a place where past and present meet to create an exciting environment for all of Brussels to enjoy. 

Development of the site

It is the vision of Extensa, a Brussels-based real estate developer, to make Tour & Taxis an attractive and inclusive multipurpose environment.  

A UNIQUE VISION FOR BRUSSELS

Tour & Taxis will offer the optimal balance of diverse accommodation, next-generation workspaces, and state-of- the-art conference and seminar venues. All will be complemented by retail and leisure facilities, as well as publicly accessible open and green spaces. 

BRINGING HISTORY TO LIFE…

During the redevelopment process of Tour & Taxis, Extensa has prioritized giving a modern interpretation to the historic buildings on the site, while respecting their authenticity and architectural heritage.  The original character of Tour & Taxis is intrinsically linked to its history. It was here, between 1902 and 1907, that one of the world’s first multi-modal freight transport platforms – incorporating water, road and rail – was constructed, along with the associated buildings.

…WITH RENEWED PURPOSE

The industrial era origins of these buildings are reflected in the innovative use of wood, glass and metal in the new constructions. Reinterpreting the past in this way, while retaining its charm, adds to the character of what could be described as a multi-modal communication platform, fit for the 21st century.
