Why choose to live in Evere today?<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why has Evere become an attractive neighbourhood in Brussels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A strategic location near NATO and major transport links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excellent accessibility thanks to the Bordet metro station and public transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Evere is also one of the best-connected neighbourhoods in the capital:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

10 bus lines (STIB\/MIVB and De Lijn)<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Trams 55 and 62 to Brussels North<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

S-lines trains to Schuman or the airport in 10 minutes<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

And soon, metro line 3, whose terminus will be 50 metres from Matisse 16 (scheduled to open in 2032)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Motorists can quickly reach the major roads (E40, Boulevard L\u00e9opold III), while cyclists can take advantage of the RER\/GEN cycle network, which connects to the city centre in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What quality of life does the Evere neighbourhood offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green spaces and a pleasant living environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shops, schools and services nearby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Evere offers a complete and dynamic neighbourhood life.
Residents benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Local shops and a variety of restaurants<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Renowned schools, including the European School and Bogaerts International School<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Easily accessible sports, cultural and administrative facilities<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this diversity, Evere combines comfort, mobility and services, all on a human scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matisse 16: a real estate project that is transforming the former site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A sustainable conversion of former offices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

156 contemporary apartments, from studios to three-bedroom flats, designed to the highest energy standards;<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

A co-living space promoting intergenerational diversity and conviviality<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Modern and sustainable offices<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Landscaped areas, including an indoor garden and green roofs.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern apartments and retail and amenity spaces on the ground floor <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

High-performance acoustic and thermal insulation<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Geothermal heating and cooling<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Solar panels to power shared facilities<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Secure bicycle storage (more than 500 spaces)<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Shared green spaces and footpaths<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A harmonious setting where architecture, sustainability and well-being come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the advantages of Matisse 16 for future residents and investors? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An investment in a booming neighbourhood <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy-efficient housing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Matisse 16 takes a 100% sustainable approach, guaranteeing both comfort and savings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Energy class PEB A<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Geothermal solutions<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Rainwater recovery and reuse<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Triple glazing and optimised ventilation<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These features significantly reduce consumption and costs, while adding long-term value to the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guarantee of a recognised developer, BESIX RED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With over 37 years of experience and as a subsidiary of the BESIX construction group, BESIX RED is a leading player in sustainable real estate in Europe.

Each project is designed to combine architectural quality, energy innovation and heritage value

With Matisse 16, the developer perfectly illustrates its mission: to create inspiring, high-performance and responsible living spaces. 

Thanks to its strategic location, efficient transport links, green environment and modern infrastructure, Evere is establishing itself as one of Brussels’ neighbourhoods of the future.

With Matisse 16 Living, you are investing in a sustainable, comfortable and scalable project in the heart of a municipality undergoing a renaissance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":743,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_uicore_block_fonts":"{\"Montserrat\":{\"weights\":[600],\"category\":\"google\"}}","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-857","actualite","type-actualite","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhy choose to live in Evere today? | Matisse 16 Living<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover Matisse 16, an innovative real estate project in Evere.
