State Secretary Ans Persoons informs us that the Dockside Tower project, planned for Quai des Charbonnages 88-90, 1080 Molenbeek (Place Sainctelette), has not been granted a building permit.
The project involved a 14-story building. A neighborhood committee, as well as the Municipality of Molenbeek, have consistently lodged serious objections to this excessively tall residential tower project. The objections concerned the intensification of car traffic, air pollution, and the excessive population density that the project would have caused, as well as the precedent it would have set for too many deviations from existing regulations.
Foyer NGO and the neighborhood committee welcome the decision and are grateful to both the Municipality and the State Secretary for taking the objections seriously.
