Why choose to live in Evere today?

Once a quiet neighbourhood in the capital, Evere is now one of the most promising areas in Brussels.

With its exemplary mobility, sustainable development and new urban dynamic, this municipality appeals to families, young professionals and investors alike.

The Matisse 16 Living project, designed by BESIX RED, symbolises this transformation: a mixed-use, contemporary project that is perfectly integrated into the city and focused on the future.

Why has Evere become an attractive neighbourhood in Brussels?

A strategic location near NATO and major transport links

Located between the European quarter and Zaventem airport, Evere enjoys a strategic location in the north-east of Brussels.

Just a few minutes from NATO headquarters, the district is home to a booming economic fabric: international companies, institutions, start-ups and co-working spaces are multiplying.

This proximity to major employment hubs makes Evere an ideal location for expatriates and international professionals.

Excellent accessibility thanks to the Bordet metro station and public transport

Evere is also one of the best-connected neighbourhoods in the capital:

10 bus lines (STIB/MIVB and De Lijn)

Trams 55 and 62 to Brussels North

S-lines trains to Schuman or the airport in 10 minutes

And soon, metro line 3, whose terminus will be 50 metres from Matisse 16 (scheduled to open in 2032)

Motorists can quickly reach the major roads (E40, Boulevard Léopold III), while cyclists can take advantage of the RER/GEN cycle network, which connects to the city centre in 15 minutes.

What quality of life does the Evere neighbourhood offer?

Green spaces and a pleasant living environment

Evere combines residential tranquillity with urban vitality.

The neighbourhood is distinguished by its tree-lined streets, parks and landscaped areas such as Bon Pasteur Park and Walckiers Park.

Areas such as Terneyveld and Conscience illustrate this friendly and green atmosphere: a peaceful environment, ideal for families while remaining close to the centre of Brussels.

Shops, schools and services nearby

Evere offers a complete and dynamic neighbourhood life.
Residents benefit from:

Local shops and a variety of restaurants

Renowned schools, including the European School and Bogaerts International School

Easily accessible sports, cultural and administrative facilities

Thanks to this diversity, Evere combines comfort, mobility and services, all on a human scale.

Matisse 16: a real estate project that is transforming the former site

A sustainable conversion of former offices

Formerly occupied by the Record Bank headquarters, the Matisse 16 site has been completely redesigned to write a new chapter in the history of the neighbourhood.

The project now includes:

156 contemporary apartments, from studios to three-bedroom flats, designed to the highest energy standards;

A co-living space promoting intergenerational diversity and conviviality

Modern and sustainable offices

Landscaped areas, including an indoor garden and green roofs.

This transformation is part of a regional redevelopment plan covering more than 90 hectares, jointly led by Brussels and Flanders, to revitalise the area around Bordet and NATO headquarters.

Matisse 16 thus symbolises the transformation of a banking site into a new, sustainable and lively mixed-use neighbourhood in the heart of Evere.

Modern apartments and retail and amenity spaces on the ground floor

The Matisse 16 apartments are distinguished by their large bay windows, terraces or loggias, and abundant natural light.

High-end finishes and sustainable materials ensure modern comfort:

High-performance acoustic and thermal insulation

Geothermal heating and cooling

Solar panels to power shared facilities

Secure bicycle storage (more than 500 spaces)

Shared green spaces and footpaths

A harmonious setting where architecture, sustainability and well-being come together.

What are the advantages of Matisse 16 for future residents and investors?

An investment in a booming neighbourhood

Evere’s rise to prominence makes it an area with strong real estate potential.
The presence of international companies, the creation of the future Bordet metro terminus and numerous public projects reinforce its appeal.

Prices remain more affordable than in the centre, while offering excellent prospects for medium-term appreciation.

Another advantage: Matisse 16 Living is eligible for the reduced VAT rate of 6%, a rare tax opportunity in Brussels.

Energy-efficient housing

Matisse 16 takes a 100% sustainable approach, guaranteeing both comfort and savings:

Energy class PEB A

Geothermal solutions

Rainwater recovery and reuse

Triple glazing and optimised ventilation

These features significantly reduce consumption and costs, while adding long-term value to the property.
