Regional newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws (HLN) visited Euro Building on the Plantin en Moretuslei in Borgerhout and presented it as an example of how housing for international workers can be done well.

What the article covers

• How a new permit framework of the Flemish government and the City of Antwerp makes quality housing for up to 183 workers possible in the building.
• The history of the project: from the purchase of the former office building in 2018 to the urban planning permit for room housing in 2024.
• A look at the shared kitchens on every floor and the two-person rooms with private bathroom and toilet.
• Safety and supervision: badge access, camera surveillance and a close follow-up of who stays in the building.

The article was published in Dutch under the headline “Hopelijk zorgen wij voor kentering in woonkwaliteit arbeidsmigranten”.
