The Residance
Investing in student rooms in the heart of Brussels
ION is developing The Residance, just a stone's throw from the centre of Brussels. This area is sought-after by students given the proximity of several universities, universities of applied sciences, and a wide range of amenities.
Rue du Congrès 17 - 1000 Brussels
The Residance is strategically located within the Brussels Pentagon, within walking and cycling distance of several higher education campuses.
With more than 120,000 students a year and a forecast shortage of 55,000 rooms by 2030, the current demand for student housing in Brussels is unprecedented.
This is a hassle-free investment because of the professional property management and a concierge responsible for the rental, maintenance, and management of your property.
Shortage of quality student rooms
We retained the structure of the old office building that we are converting into The Residance, giving it a complete makeover. The cosy rooms have a high standard of finishing and all the mod cons. The communal areas where students cook, study, and relax are also attractively decorated. The courtyard garden is a pleasant green space to unwind. Besides the 42 student rooms, 21 studios, and a concierge flat, The Residance also has 11 car parking spaces and a large bicycle shed.
The student population continues to grow exponentially
Brussels's student population is mainly concentrated in the city centre. The total number of conventional student rooms in Brussels is estimated at 15,000 to 20,000, with a current shortage of 10,000 units. Student enrolments continue to increase year-on-year. By 2030, expectations are that there will be 50,000 additional students in Brussels, with the current shortage of some 10,000 rooms rising to as many as 20,000-55,000 units by 2030.
The perfect investment opportunity
The shortage of quality student housing in Brussels is growing constantly, with rents spiralling as a result. The Residance is a high-end project in a prime location. The site is located within the Brussels Pentagon, within walking and cycling distance of several universities and universities of applied sciences. Thanks to the nearby Congress metro, bus, and tram station, residents of The Residance can easily travel anywhere they want. The perfect development and a secure investment!
