For many years, the NATO district was primarily perceived as a functional office area, benefiting from its proximity to international institutions and Brussels Airport.

Today, the district is experiencing a new dynamic. The presence of NATO Headquarters and the new Belgian Ministry of Defence, combined with the development of the defence, cybersecurity, new technologies and business services sectors, has made it one of the most strategic and attractive business hubs in Brussels.

Many leading companies and organisations have established their headquarters or significant operations there, including Toyota Motor Europe, the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA), Leonardo, Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Thales, as well as several consulting firms and technology companies.

Beyond the prestige of its address, companies benefit from a genuine ecosystem that fosters synergies, talent recruitment and the development of new opportunities. This attractiveness is reflected in growing demand for buildings capable of accommodating headquarters or international teams in an environment offering accessibility, flexibility and high-quality services.

A Rare Opportunity at the Heart of This Ecosystem

At the heart of this strategic hub, just minutes from NATO Headquarters and the Belgian Ministry of Defence, Esset Letting & Sales is currently marketing an office building located on Avenue Jules Bordet in Evere.

The building offers nearly 3,900 m² spread over six floors, with flexible floorplates, numerous collaborative spaces, 69 parking spaces, as well as several services designed to meet the needs of growing businesses.

In excellent condition and currently occupied by its owner, the building is immediately operational. It represents an ideal solution for companies looking to bring their teams together, establish a new headquarters or support their growth in a strategic environment.

The district benefits from a prime location, in close proximity to Brussels Airport, the Brussels Ring and the main motorways, providing excellent national and international accessibility.
