One hundred meters away from the Grand-Place, the Îlot Sacré project originates from the will to revive a well-known urban brownfield from back in the 60’s. The idea is to rehabilitate the network of historic streets in order to recreate a new friendly neighbourhood around the Rue du Marché aux Herbes.

Elegant without ostentation, the new set of 8 buildings offers shops, apartments, flats and individual houses with contemporary architecture. Quiet and well designed, the housing lots give prominence to the noble and traditional materials - white brick, blue stone, slate roofs - to reconnect with the quality that used to exist in the area. They also provide originally designed terraces, spacious and discreet, overlooking the rooftops of Brussels.
