UP-site

The Up-site in Brussels' North Quarter is a modern residential complex dominated by a striking 142-meter (466-foot) residential tower. With 42 floors, this skyscraper is considered the tallest residential building in Belgium and also ranks third among the country's tallest buildings. The tower is surrounded by six other, lower apartment buildings stretching to the south. Construction began in 2010, with the smaller buildings completed earlier than the main tower, which was not finished until the summer of 2014. The project was designed by the architecture firms A2RC Architects sa and Ateliers Lion Architectes Urbanistes, which were responsible for its planning and execution.
