The project developed by Befimmo and Open Minds consists of renovating towers 1 and 2 of the World Trade Center Brussels. Once the project is completed, the multi-functional buildings will house 110,000 square meters of offices, co-working spaces, apartments, and hospitality services.
One of the project’s key goals was to integrate the circular economy concept. In order to achieve this, the team inventoried the majority of the materials from existing buildings, reused them for the revitalization work, and certified them in accordance with Cradle to Cradle ® (C2C).
Drees & Sommer supported the World Trade Center (WTC) project in Brussels with funded Cradle to Cradle consulting.
The WTC Brussels project is one of our Wall of Fame projects. These are projects we are particularly proud of. They have not only helped our respective clients, but also us as a company.
Why the WTC Brussels project deserves a place on our Wall of Fame:
- Comprehensive integration of Cradle to Cradle aspects: Drees & Sommer managed to show that buildings can be revitalized by comprehensively integrating C2C aspects in accordance with the standards of a genuine circular economy
- Realization of innovative sustainability solutions: A material passport ensured maximum transparency regarding the materials used in the WTC Brussels project
- Creation of a material passport: The multi-functional building with offices, co-working spaces, apartments, and hotel rooms is an example of sustainable inner-city redevelopment
