This small-scale residence comprises a total of four apartments and one duplex apartment.

– ’s Location in Markgrave
The apartment is located on Desguinlei in the Markgrave neighborhood: a popular residential area south of the city center.
The location combines the best of both worlds. You’ll live close to the bustling Antwerp-South and the city center, while Markgrave itself is known for its residential character, stately streets, and green surroundings.
The location is also particularly appealing in terms of mobility. The Antwerp Ring Road and major in- and outbound roads are easily accessible, while you can quickly bike to Antwerp South, Harmonie, and the city center. Antwerp-South Station and various public transportation connections are also located nearby.
A Greener Future with Pomppark Zuid
A key additional asset for this location is the development of Pomppark Zuid, the first subproject of Ringpark Groene Vesten.
Between Desguinlei, Antwerp-South Station, the railroad tracks, and Jan Van Rijswijcklaan, an existing green space is being transformed into a fully-fledged new neighborhood park spanning nearly 7.6 hectares – —larger than ten soccer fields.
The future park will feature new walking paths, grassy areas, trees and other vegetation, gathering spots, play facilities, and a large dog-walking area. Water collection and infiltration will also play a key role in the design.
In addition, noise barriers will be installed along the railroad tracks to make the park more pleasant and peaceful. Pomppark Zuid will also connect directly to the renovated Antwerp-South station, where space is being set aside for shared mobility.
Main construction began in May 2025, and according to the current schedule, the park will be completed in the spring of 2027, provided the work proceeds smoothly.
For residents of Desguinlei, this urban development represents significant future added value: more green space, recreational opportunities, and high-quality public spaces within walking distance of home, combined with the area’s existing excellent accessibility.
Shops, restaurants, schools, sports facilities, and other everyday amenities are also located in the surrounding area. As a result, Desguinlei 218 is an attractive base for those seeking energy-efficient and comfortable living in Antwerp, with the city and future green spaces within easy reach.
