ANTWERPEN-CENTRUM - Exceptional apartment on the Schelde. 2000 Antwerpen

—Ref. 5875595

In the monumental Hansahuis, inaugurated in 1903, one of the key landmarks of the Schelde quays, you will find this spacious area, currently used as an office but also easily convertible into an exceptional apartment.

The impressive building complex, located at the corner of the block formed by Ernest Van Dijckkaai, Suikerrui, and Kaasstraat, was commissioned by Wilhelm Arnold von Mallinckrodt and designed by architect Joseph Hertogs. Hertogs is regarded as one of Antwerp’s most successful architects. His career was dedicated to serving the affluent, predominantly liberal mercantile bourgeoisie. The Hansahuis was meant to reflect the flourishing commercial status of the Antwerp metropolis at the beginning of the 20th century. The corner towers, projecting elements, colossal order pilasters and columns, galleries, and sculptures by Jef Lambeaux, fully embody the prevailing prosperity mentality and vanity of the era. In 1981, the building was protected as a monument.

The office floor retains its authenticity with various types of workspaces: a magnificent reception area, waiting room, a stylish salon with parquet floors, wooden paneling, and a beautiful bar, meeting room, and modern open-plan offices... Double French doors connect the rooms, the parquet floors continue throughout, and numerous authentic elements exude history and give the property a distinctive character.

Parking facilities can be separately purchased with the property.
