(For images, scroll down) On an open space, enclosed by a road junction (E40 motorway & N43 road), at the outskirts of Ghent, a 126m tall office building is soon to be erected. This project is part of a larger plan to turn the grounds of the former airfield of the city into a mix of a CBD and large scale retail development, which will be developed at the rate of the local property market and aims to be finished by 2030.
