Future Outdoor Swimming Pool Moves One Step Closer
The project for the outdoor swimming pool on the roof of MANUFAKTURE has reached an important milestone. The selection procedure for a partner responsible for the design, financing, construction and management of the pool will soon be launched. The appointment of this partner is expected in 2028. If the current planning is respected, construction works could begin in 2029. The office of State Secretary Ms. Ans Persoons is overseeing the follow-up of this swimming pool project.
With this initiative, the realization of a permanent outdoor swimming facility in Brussels moves one step closer. At present, Brussels residents do not have access to a fixed outdoor swimming pool. The future pool on MANUFAKTURE aims to change this and create a new space dedicated to sports, relaxation and social interaction. Read more…
The outdoor swimming pool is part of MANUFAKTURE, the multifunctional building currently being developed on the Abattoir site in Anderlecht. This ambitious project combines economic activity, innovation and sustainable urban development with facilities that provide direct added value for residents, visitors and entrepreneurs.
Thanks to its unique rooftop location, Brussels will in time gain a remarkable recreational destination. Together with our partners, we continue to develop a project that not only strengthens the Abattoir site but also contributes to a more attractive and livable city.
