Picardstraat 1

Hôtel des Douanes is located in the lively and up-and-coming neighborhood along Avenue du Port and Rue Picard in Brussels. This office development fully meets BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinium standards. In this historic building from 1907 by architect Ernest Van Humbeek, sustainability and circularity will go hand in hand into the future. In addition to an enormous amount of natural light, the central atrium and part of the ground floor offer space for communal services such as reception, coffee corner and meeting rooms. Many original elements such as the steel columns, the metal structures that support the glass roof, the massive granite stairs and the ticket offices on the ground floor have been retained. In addition to the planned solar panels, the building will also be equipped with geothermal energy.

Tour & Taxis is easily accessible on foot and by bicycle, with the regional cycle route 'CK' conveniently walking along the canal. There is a spacious bicycle shed with showers for cyclists. The park connects the banks of the canal to the site and neighboring neighbourhoods, while Brussels-North station is just a 7-minute walk across the Suzan Daniel bridge, greatly reducing travel time between Tour & Taxis and North station. Tour & Taxis is directly accessible by car from the center of Brussels and the surrounding area thanks to its proximity to the inner ring road, the ring road of Brussels and easy access to the main roads of Belgium (E19/A12/E40/E411). More than 1,500 parking spaces are available on this site. In addition, you will also find 13 underground parking spaces with charging points at Hôtel des Douanes.
