Exceptional apartment on the 15th floor

The LUCID building is located in the Tweewaters district on the Vaartkom, the former industrial harbour site that in recent years has grown into one of the most sought-after urban residential locations in Flemish Brabant. The 70-metre residential tower, designed by Belgian architect Xaveer De Geyter, forms a distinctive landmark in the renewed waterfront cityscape. Just outside the front door you immediately enter Tweewaters Park, a spacious green area where the River Dijle is visible again and walking and cycling paths connect you directly to the city centre. The Vaartkom itself is the building’s vibrant backyard: the waterfront, restaurants and cafés, the OPEK arts centre and the De Hoorn cultural hub are all within walking distance. Leuven railway station can be reached on foot in 10 minutes, and the Grote Markt in 12 to 15 minutes. For those who cycle, the centre is less than 5 minutes away. The ring road, with direct access to the E40 towards Brussels and Liège, and the E314 towards Hasselt and Mechelen, is a few hundred metres away. Public transport is readily available via bus line 601, which connects the Vaartkom with the city centre and the station every 10 minutes. The large parking garage at Engels Plein, a 2-minute walk away, offers more than 1,000 spaces and provides a free weekend shuttle service to the centre. The Vaartkom is not an ordinary urban neighbourhood. The mix of historic industrial architecture, contemporary new-build, creative businesses and a lively waterfront gives the district a distinctive character that is hard to match in the region. Restaurants, coffee bars and waterside terraces, the Keizersberg Abbey within cycling distance, and the full range of a university city within walking distance—KU Leuven, the university hospital UZ Leuven, shops, culture and green space—are all available without needing a car. Those who choose LUCID choose a central location without the bustle of the city core, combined with exceptional views over the city and the water.
