The Bastion Tower: an office landmark between the Leopold Quarter and Avenue Louise
The Bastion Tower stands at 5 Place du Champ de Mars in Ixelles, on Brussels’ inner ring road. With 26 floors above ground, it is one of the landmarks of the skyline between the Leopold Quarter, Porte de Namur and the top of Avenue Louise.
The building
The tower offers L-shaped office floors, with a main wing and a smaller wing that can be split into two parts. Occupants have access to services such as a fitness centre and wellness facilities. A flexible office operator, Servcorp, runs private offices and coworking spaces in the building, so companies can choose between a conventional lease and a turnkey solution. The building also holds a BREEAM certificate.
Access
Porte de Namur metro station (lines 2 and 6) is a short walk away, and many bus routes run along the inner ring road. By car, the tower sits directly on the ring road and its tunnels, and a shared bike station is located nearby.
A district between three worlds
The Bastion Tower occupies a rare position: where the Leopold Quarter, Porte de Namur and the top of Avenue Louise meet. Within a few minutes on foot, you reach the European institutions, the shops of Avenue de la Toison d’Or or the restaurants of Ixelles and Matongé. For a business, it is an address that works for institutional clients and private visitors alike.
Which companies is it for?
The large floors suit teams that want to bring several dozen people together on one level, with open views over the city. The flexible office operator in the building also opens the door to smaller organisations: a consultancy, an international representation or a project team can move in without signing a conventional lease, then grow into a private floor.
What to check during a viewing
As with any high-rise, ask for the energy performance certificate, the condition of the technical installations and a breakdown of service charges, which are often higher in a tower because of the lifts and maintenance. Also check how many parking spaces are available for your team and how visitors access the building.
