De Steiger

The shortage of student accommodation in Ghent continues to grow, whilst demand for high-quality housing remains high. De Steiger addresses this need with modern student rooms and studios, a green courtyard garden and a prime location close to the Watersportbaan, Gent-Sint-Pieters and various campuses. This presents a significant opportunity for investors looking to capitalise on the structural demand for student accommodation in Ghent.

Premium location

Centrally located in Ghent, close to the Watersportbaan and within walking distance of Gent-Sint-Pieters. De Steiger is just a few minutes’ cycle ride from various university campuses, the city centre and the nightlife. With its prime location and green, peaceful surroundings, the project offers an attractive base for students and a unique opportunity for investors.

Quality & comfort

With De Steiger, investors are investing in a forward-looking new-build project that meets all modern standards in terms of comfort, quality and energy efficiency. The student rooms, studios and communal areas will be finished to a sustainable and low-maintenance standard, whilst the fossil-fuel-free heating and cooling system ensures lower energy costs.

A stepping stone to the future

De Steiger brings student accommodation and modern office space together under one roof. This unique combination creates a vibrant atmosphere, encourages natural social interaction and offers students opportunities to connect with businesses, from work placements to their first job.

Rooms, offices and communal areas with added value

De Steiger offers a varied selection of modern student rooms and studios, combined with high-quality office space in the same building. Students enjoy comfortable rooms, spacious kitchen-diners, a laundry room and a green courtyard garden that encourages socialising and relaxation. The presence of offices adds extra dynamism, provides natural social interaction and offers valuable opportunities to connect with businesses, from internships to first jobs.

De Steiger (The Pier) is just a stone’s throw from the Watersportbaan, one of Ghent’s most recognisable and popular spots. Students living there are within walking distance of Gent-Sint-Pieters and just a few minutes’ cycle ride from the main campuses, the city centre and the nightlife. Thanks to the combination of modern student rooms, studios and office space under one roof, a unique dynamic is created here where studying, living and entrepreneurship reinforce one another.

From an office space to a vibrant student and working environment

De Steiger is taking shape in an area that already serves primarily as an office district. The existing office building is making way for a forward-looking new-build project that addresses two clear needs in Ghent: high-quality student accommodation and modern workspaces in an easily accessible location.
The redevelopment will give the site a new significance within the neighbourhood. Where today the focus is mainly on work, a vibrant mixed-use environment will soon emerge where living, studying and doing business reinforce one another. The combination of student rooms, studios and office space creates extra dynamism throughout the day and contributes to natural social control in and around the building.
The green courtyard also plays an important role in this. It forms the connecting heart of De Steiger: a peaceful meeting place where students can relax, entrepreneurs can meet and new ideas can flourish. In this way, De Steiger becomes more than just a student residence, but a place where the next generation literally lives alongside today’s businesses.
