Last February, Delhaize announced its departure from the 3.8 ha site it has occupied since 1883. Located at the corner of Jules Delhaize and Osseghem streets in Molenbeek, the site consists of old and new warehouses, offices and commercial space. Being in the land use zone of ZEMU, this zone is in direct synergy with the developments of the Gare de l’Ouest site.In this context, the Brussels Region launches a urbanistic study aimed at reconverting this industrial site in order to develop new productive activities as well as a mixed programme capable of reconnecting the surrounding districts. In order to achieve this last objective, the Delhaize facilities located on the other side of Osseghem Street and the two neighbouring apartment towers and their garages will be included in the study area.
