Ney & Partners part of the winning team renovation of iconic tower building, Antwerp (BE)
-
The iconic multifunctional art deco tower from the 1930s, owned by the KBC bank, will be bought by the project developer ION and Katoen Natiegroep, and renovated into a ‘cultural tower’. For a long time, the tower was the tallest skyscraper in Europe.
In addition to its cultural purpose, the renovated 87.5 m high tower building will have a public passageway with a glazed skylight and retail on the ground floor. Remodelled flats are located between the 11th and 24th floors. The upper floors will also become public with a 360° observatory and panorama room. The tower was constructed of concrete, bricks, and natural stone and underwent a thorough renovation in 1968 when it was completely converted into a bank building. Ney & Partners is delighted to be part of this winning team under the leadership of CONIX-RDBM Architects.
