De Hoorn expands further with Zuidoever

Movement once again in the Leuven Vaartkom! De Hoorn is expanding its urban energy with the purchase of the Zuidoever building.

 

Zuidoever will be a colorful mix of people and companies that love connection & crossover with other sectors. But above all, Zuidoever will be a cool workplace for people who love urban vibes, located between the banks of the Vaartkom and the Dijle, with green parks, playful water, culture and good food.

A rich history

geschiedenis Zuidoever

A beautiful industrial building, located in the extension of the legendary café De Lantaarn in the Leuven Vaartkom, a showpiece with history and character. In the past, the building housed Brewery De Dijle, which together with Brewery De Hoorn was the birthplace of Stella Artois.

 

Expansion of community based workspaces

De Hoorn is in the cradle of the renewed Vaartkom and is actively building on strong urban development by repurposing iconic buildings into new urban attractions. Authentic places where cross-pollination, innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship go hand in hand. 

Creating urban energy. Need to say more? Yes! Because with the purchase of the Zuidoever building, this inspiring playground expands further, primarily as a unique community-based workspace.

In addition to De Hoorn in Sluisstraat and the Studio Manhattan Ateliers a little further down the Vaartkom, Zuidoever will be the leading workspace that fits seamlessly into this urban dynamic. A new attraction for like-minded entrepreneurs who know how to combine hard work with a good dash of fun. Feel free to call it a network of like-minded souls. Down to earth, with a small edge, but always with a good portion of happiness & joy. Locally anchored with international appeal.

De Hoorn's community-based workspaces are unique in every way. In 3 iconic locations, we support young creative & ambitious startups as well as innovative companies in full growth. De Hoorn offers makerspaces in Studio Manhattan Ateliers, co-working & flexible units in De Hoorn and larger offices in Zuidoever. But above all a community with a welcoming & warm vibe!
