Realex will host the future European Union Conference Center After a few unforeseen administrative upheavals, the building permit procedure should be completed in 2023.

In January 2021, the OIB and ATENOR signed an agreement for the acquisition of the new Conference Center proposed by ATENOR as part of its REALEX project, in the heart of the European district, following the call for tenders launched by the European Commission. This is certainly emblematic recognition for Brussels in its role as the Capital of Europe. The REALEX project was the subject of an application for planning permission submitted in November 2018 and duly amended in 2020 to take into account the wishes of the European Union and the impact study.
Following a change in policy within the Brussels Region, it was agreed between the Secretary of State, the OIB and ATENOR that a new permit application would be resubmitted framed within a height of 55 metres. This request will be submitted in the first half of 2022 and will be supported by the administration so that an authorization can be issued in the course of 2023.
This project will include a part dedicated to high environmental quality offices following the latest objectives of the European Commission in terms of sustainability, in order to address the deficit of such an offering in the European district.
