The Genesis

The Genesis is a passive building with an above-ground surface area of +/-  6,100m².

• 1 basement level, serving as car parks, cloakrooms, technical premises and archives;
• 4 above-ground levels;
• 1 technical level (roof). 

The two wings of the building are linked by an indoor area/passage.

Each level can be divided into 2, eventually 3, rental units, each with its separate sanitary facilities and technical equipment. 

The Parc is easily accessible:

• from the ring road, just located at the exit of the motorway (nr 24)
• by busses (TEC local services). Bus stops are at the entrance of the park.
• by rail (Braine-l’Alleud station; 4 trains/hour– 12 min. to Brussels)
   

There will be two RER (regional express network) services every 15 minutes on the Parc de l’Alliance stop:

• the Nivelles-Louvain-la-Neuve line via the stations Brussels Midi/ Central/Nord/Schuman/Luxembourg

• the Braine-Alliance-Leuven line via Brussels Schuman/Luxembourg and the airport.

Between now and then, local taxi men spontaneously organize a shuttle service between the Braine-l’Alleud station and the site in order to serve the park better.

Brussels airport by car is located at only 20 minutes to the North of the Parc de l’Alliance, just as the Charleroi airport (Brussels South), also at 20 minutes’ distance.​
