Chicago Block

The Chicagoblok is a striking residential tower in the Linkeroever district of the Belgian port city of Antwerp. Part of the Europapark complex, the 27-story building, completed in 1970 and standing 81 meters (266 feet) tall, is home to more than 6,000 residents from over 30 countries. As the fourth-tallest structure in the city, it ranks among the most prominent addresses in Belgium. Visitors can admire the tower's architectural presence, which has been kept in good shape thanks to minor renovation work on the entrance area in the early 2000s. The community life of the diverse population inside the high-rise was also portrayed in a Dutch documentary film from 2008.
