What does a finished student room look like to a future student? Lander Van De Maele explores Plein Publiek in Kortrijk with his father Jens Van De Maele, Construction Director Flanders at ION, from the bedroom and shared kitchen to one very important question about the lockers.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
Oh, so beautiful. We are now on the square next to the student rooms at Plein Publiek. It is a beautiful square that we have ultimately created. This is the bathroom. This is the bed, which hasn’t been made yet. This is the table for eating, or a desk for studying. And this is the wardrobe. All my cuddly toys would be in here. Do you agree to live here as a student later? Yes. It would definitely be a good choice. This is the laundry room. Cool, isn’t it? The kitchen. And what is in those cupboards? Those are lockers. Students can put things in there that they definitely don’t want to be stolen. Like ice creams? Yes, an ice cream would be a very good idea to put in a locker, I think, although they might melt. But that’s the risk you take.

The Hive in Amsterdam has reached its highest point.

The structural frame is complete. The heaviest phase of the build is behind us.

To mark the occasion, ION and Green Real Estate raised the flag on the roof. From up there, you see how the building sits in the city: the rooftops of Amsterdam West, and Station Lelylaan right next door.

Followed by a break and a treat for the crew. They have run this site from the start and poured the final floor. 🍟

Now the work moves inside: installations, apartment finishes and communal spaces. Completion is planned within a year.

💬 “From here on, it is about the details residents will live with every day.” — Rik Verwaest, Senior Project Developer at ION

One of Panquin’s most important technical systems is completely invisible once the project is finished. Maarten Wuyts, Head of Business Unit Flanders at ION, explains how around 150 geothermal boreholes help heat and cool the entire site.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
Beneath this square are 150 geothermal boreholes that provide heating for the entire site. We started with a fairly conventional heating system, but over time we realised that we wanted to be much more future-proof. That is why we immediately opted for the best system, namely BEO field boreholes, which is geothermal energy. There are around 150 boreholes spread beneath this square, going down to a depth of approximately 100 metres. The idea is to extract heat from the ground in winter and, in summer, to capture as much heat as possible from the apartments and the hotel and inject it back into the ground, so that the ground temperature always remains at a stable level.

Kids Day gives children more than a day of games and activities at the office. Lies Van Biervliet, HR Manager at ION, explains how the annual tradition lets them discover where their parents spend their working days.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
What do you like so much about this day? Welcome to ION. Today is a special day because there are 33 children here. We are organising our annual Kids Day, where the children can come to their parents’ workplace. While they are working, the children play all day. We really let the children get a taste of their parents’ work. For the younger children, we have organised a craft activity this morning. So there are 23 of them here doing crafts and making things after a small breakfast. Meanwhile, Claude is preparing the macaroni. It is supervised by an organisation that also runs children’s camps. Wow, what are you doing? Hammering. Hammering? Wow. The children love it and they talk about it for the whole year. Every year, they also really look forward to being able to come. What do you like so much about this day? That was clear. Yes, it’s really nice to be here at work with your children for once and to show them what we do here every day. What do you like so much about it here, Lenni?

The chapel at Burenberg is coming back to life. The team behind Optimist opens its second place here: De Kapel.

We restored the chapel first. Together with the City of Leuven's heritage department we had the paint layers examined one by one, to find out which colour hung there first. The stained-glass windows stayed. So did the 19th-century spiral staircase up to the gallery. We added four window openings and a terrace.

Soon you can eat there, have a drink, or take a seat outside in the public garden of 4,600 m² at the heart of the site.

"Restoring the chapel was only part of the ambition. We wanted a door that opens every day, and a building the neighbourhood actually uses."
Sander Plets, Project Development Director at ION

Turning protected heritage into a contemporary hotel means working with the building rather than against it. Maarten Wuyts, Head of Business Unit Flanders at ION, shows how historic details at Panquin are becoming part of a new hospitality experience.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
One of the most prestigious coach houses once stood here, and today we are turning it into a hotel. People ask: why is that such a small door for the entrance to a hotel? That is because we could not deviate from the dimensions of the door. It had to be the same size as the other openings in the façade, precisely because it is protected. On the left is the check-in desk and on the right is the bar. The bar also has a large terrace. Today, it is still roofing, but one day there will be a green roof here with a terrace. Here, we created a bridge overlooking the courtyard garden. This was the orangery of the castle. Later, it was taken over by Defence and turned into a large café. The soldiers slept in the Horseshoe Complex and came here to have a drink, and probably more than one drink. The nice thing here is that you can see the original timber roof structure all the way up to the ridge. It gives the building an enormous amount of character. We are standing in the swimming pool. Should I do a bit of swimming? Front crawl. The restaurant also has a magnificent terrace facing directly south along the entire length of the building. It creates a very pleasant experience. Then you walk straight through to the wellness area. The courtyard garden is a very nice place. On the one hand, it accommodates the difference in height, so the lifts are located behind here, but on the other hand, it is a pleasantly designed space. Then you walk through here (this is a temporary wall) to the nerve centre of the hotel, where you can take the lift to the rooms or the stairs to the restaurant and the orangery. This is a room of approximately 22 square metres. Every room also has its own sanitary facilities, so a toilet and, of course, its own bathroom.

For one day, the office looks a little different. Lies Van Biervliet, HR Manager at ION, shows how Kids Day gives colleagues’ children a glimpse of where their parents work — while filling the day with plenty of activities of their own.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
Hello. I’m Elise. Lenni. Richard. Gisèle. Camille. Why are you here? Because it’s Kids Day. My dad does ION. I don’t know. Computer work and paperwork. Customer support. Building. She works a lot with numbers. Er, nothing. What are we going to do today? Eat macaroni. We’re playing football here. Arts and crafts, and we’ve already made an underwater aquarium. Watch a film. Go to the bouncy castles again. Of course, I think it’s very convenient. The last week of the holidays is half a week before school starts, so it’s ideal to bridge those days and be able to make use of the childcare here. It’s also nice for them to see why we enjoy going to work so much. It was fun and the crafts are very beautiful. Now they can come along and experience what it’s like, and they have an idea of where we are every day.

For someone who has lived in Tervuren since 1996, the opportunity to live beside its historic park meant something special. Maarten Wuyts, Head of Business Unit Flanders at ION, meets Panquin buyer Carol to hear why she invested in two apartments and a commercial space on the site.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
We have just bumped into a very good customer here, Carol. You bought two apartments. Tell us, what attracted you to them? I have lived in Tervuren since 1996 and the park is magnificent. It reminded me a little of living in Versailles. There you go. I never thought I would be able to live here. My dream has come true. What the viewers might not know is that Carol also bought a commercial space here, and it is for rent. Wow, it is big. Look, you have a magnificent view. Are there people who are interested? I haven’t put it on the market yet, so you have the scoop. Yes, anything is possible. It would be good for a medical practice, a physiotherapist, an office or a yoga studio. My girlfriend always does Pilates. I’ll ask her. Not here, surely? No, in Ghent. Ah, yes.

Long before Panquin became a military site, the Dukes of Brabant came here from Brussels to hunt and celebrate. Maarten Wuyts, Head of Business Unit Flanders at ION, explores the traces of that history that can still be found around the site today.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
The castle of the Dukes of Brabant once stood here. This complex was built in the 18th century. They had a hunting castle right here on this headland. Every weekend, they came from the Coudenberg in Brussels with their company to the park of Tervuren to hunt and hold large hunting celebrations. One of the last remaining elements is Saint Hubert’s Chapel. It is still used every year for the blessing of the hunting dogs and the animals. When the animals are blessed here, they walk towards the centre of Tervuren, to the church, straight through our site. For many years, that was impossible because the site used to belong to Defence. It was closed off as a military domain. Through our intervention, we have made everything publicly accessible again. Here, you can still see the ruins of what was once the ducal castle, with a large hunting hall. It must have been magnificent: Burgundian dinners with all the nobility from the region and from Europe.

Some projects are difficult to understand from plans and images alone. In the on-site experience room, Nicolas Devolder, Senior Sales Consultant at ION, shows how future residents can explore Catsand Island and experience its connection with nature before construction begins.

👇 English subtitles available below.

(English subtitles)
Welcome to the experience room here at Catsand Island. We created this specifically for this project to give people a sense of the atmosphere already. A container with an interaction with nature. We have tried to create a miniature version of our project here. For this, we developed a tool in which we can display the entire project in detail. On the outside, you do have to comply with the conditions in the building permit, but inside, of course, you can do whatever you want. That is precisely why we have placed an experience room here on the site. You have to experience this in person. This is not a project you can simply read about in a brochure.
