White Angle is an easily reached office building, located along the edge of the Bruxelles-Charleroi canal, at the heart of Anderlecht and a stone’s throw away from the Bruxelles-Midi international train station. This sustainable office building is part of a large-scale mixed-use redevelopment project being implemented by Atenor.
White Angle, which is a part of City Dox, is one of the pioneer projects overseen by Biestebroeck PPAS. The project’s total surface area comes to 55,000 m² and planning is in place to develop 155,000 m² of mixed-use facilities, including 900 apartments, a school, a rest home, offices, commercial zones and areas for productive activities. The main goal of this ‘Plan Canal’ is to stimulate economic activity and the creation of new mixed-use projects, but also to improve the quality of the public space on both sides of the canal for its end users.

A modular
environment
Flexible, scalable and modular, the upper floors benefit from wonderful light and are fitted with 360 degree windows which can be opened. At the design stage, a combination of modernity, comfort and wellbeing was given priority, in order to offer a healthy work environment to businesses and their personnel.
The floors were designed to accommodate a mix of open and closed spaces, meeting rooms and lounge suites, in order to foster productivity, creativity and the human interaction which is inestimable.
The offices are designed in accordance with the demands of the tenants. Concrete pillars as well as a concrete ceiling, magnificently finished, yet with a natural appearance, provide an impressive ceiling height, which allows the floors to be furnished in an elegant and modern industrial design, in keeping with Anderlecht’s industrial history. Open spaces as well as informal meeting areas can be created and combined with coffee stations and adaptable offices in order to energise the workspace to the maximum.
However, no compromises need to be made. The bright and spacious floors are provided with all the necessary fittings to enjoy more corporate surroundings, containing contemporary suspended ceilings, work stations and partitioned offices.
