The Arsenaal site is a former workplace of the NMBS (Belgian Railways) of 13 ha in Gentbrugge, next to the E17 highway. The consortium Arsenaal 3PK (consisting of developer Danneels, Monument Group and Quva) acquired this site after a market consultation.

The intention is for what was until today a large closed area to be developed into a multifunctional neighbourhood where economic activity, housing, culture and open space meet all the contemporary standards of sustainability.
