Living in an urban gem in the heart of the European capital!

Just steps away from the Sablon, Eaglestone Belgium’s GEM project embodies a refined urban lifestyle that blends aesthetics, functionality and sustainability. Comprising 36 apartments, this development enjoys an exceptional location on a quiet street, in close proximity to Brussels' most prestigious addresses.

A privileged living environment
GEM is located on Rue de la Pépinière, just a short walk from the Royal Palace, the park, Boulevard de Waterloo, the Museum of Fine Arts, the European Quarter and numerous public transport options, shops and schools. Originally a six-storey office building, it is being transformed into a multi-purpose residential space that includes studios, apartments of up to three bedrooms, an aparthotel and two office spaces for liberal professions.

Designed as an open and inclusive place to live, GEM encourages a diversity of uses and encounters. The layout of the spaces is intended to foster connection while ensuring comfort, calm and quality of life.

Sustainability and circularity

The architectural approach is grounded in sustainability. The building’s original structure has been preserved to reduce environmental impact and promote the reuse of materials. Green roofs and an interior ornamental garden further strengthen the project's commitment to ecological responsibility.

Exceptional living spaces
Preserving the original structure has made it possible to create unique volumes, featuring generous ceiling heights and flexible layouts. The apartments, designed to meet the needs of both individuals and families, are inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—a celebration of authenticity, simplicity and the beauty of natural materials such as stone, wood and organic textiles.

Each home is envisioned as a serene retreat, where clean lines, raw textures and soft tones combine to create a timeless and soothing atmosphere. Large windows, terraces, and loggias provide a strong connection to the outdoors, reinforcing the presence of nature within the urban setting.

A green haven in the city centre
At the heart of the block, a private ornamental garden has been landscaped using and enhancing the existing vegetation, offering residents a lush green oasis in the city. Together with the green roofs, this garden contributes to the peaceful ambiance while improving thermal comfort and supporting biodiversity.

Subtle and refined architecture
GEM’s architectural identity, designed by Axent Architects, strikes a balance between tradition and modernity. The front façade, clad in light limestone, conveys understated elegance. Glass railings bring visual lightness, while the top two darker levels host penthouses with open views, giving rhythm and volume to the building.

At the rear, the façade is animated by alternating recessed and projecting elements, creating varied and intimate outdoor spaces. A light-toned finish adds softness, while the sides of the building provide a seamless transition between the building’s two façades through the subtle interplay of textures and colours.

A project anchored in its time
Every detail of GEM has been carefully considered. From architectural features to material choices, each element aims to deliver a high-quality residential experience that respects its environment and meets contemporary expectations. GEM is more than a building—it’s a lasting lifestyle project.

Construction will begin, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of 2027. The first units are currently for sale, starting at €385,000 excluding fees.
