In the heart of a mixed-use and green urban space, family homes, student accommodation and studio apartments for researchers will stand side by side in a stimulating environment.
Family homes
As part of the Usquare project, 120 new public-owned family housing units are about to come on stream, ranging from social rental housing (SLRB/BinHôme) to affordable purchase housing (citydev).
Student accommodation
The site of the former barracks will be converted into some 460 university housing units for students and researchers divided over 4 buildings (3 renovated and converted ones and 1 new building). The buildings will also feature auditoriums, a cultural centre, a local cinema and a number of convenience stores. With this project, SAU has firmly taken up the gauntlet in terms of reuse and the circular economy.
