Evolution spaciale
At the turn of the year 2000, it was rather a few large complexes (with up to 80 housing units). Then came the time of small buildings in third or fourth line and especially large apartments, which took place on the long band of land between the channel and the avenue Albert Ier, with views of the incoming or outgoing sailboats of the port. Today, it is on the other side of the avenue that Nieuport sees his real estate future.

There are only a few units left for sale.
On the other hand, the Condor project. “A large project on the dike, which is rare enough to be reported, insists Bart Van Opstal. To which are added a number of small projects in the center of the station, very interesting, although more limited in height and in number of apartments.”
Projects that go without saying, against which residents have not really opposed. Unlike the ambitious new luxury residential area (a thousand dwellings, from 500 to 600 boats) which is going on the side of the Marina, on the right bank of the Yser, in the immediate vicinity of the IJZERMONMONDING NATURAL…
