Separate parkings & storage

Not all buyers want an apartment right away. For City Gate residents or investors we also offer 72 parkings (€25,000–26,000) and 54 storage units (€4,000–4,500) for separate sale, spread across the underground parking garages under Block 1, Block 2 and Block 3.

72
underground parkings — €25,000 (Block 1) to €26,000 (Block 2 & 3)
54
storage units — €4,000 (Block 1) or €4,500 (Block 2 & 3)
Investor? Two advantages.
1. 6% VAT instead of 21% — since 1 July 2025 also for investors who rent out their unit for a minimum of 15 years to a tenant who establishes their primary residence there. On a unit of € 420,000: ~€ 49,500 advantage.

2. Parking yield — residents typically rent parkings at € 90-100/month → gross yield ±4-5%/year. Full price list on request.

Green within cycling or walking distance

Directly from City Gate lies the 46 hectare Three Fountains Estate in Vilvoorde, about ten cycling minutes away — castle park, ponds, walking paths and playground. Closer to home, you'll find Floris Hofkens park in Machelen centre and the historic Hof ten Berg in Diegem. The green belt around Brussels-North starts here — both commuter and walker get their share.

What's changing around you — future value

City Gate already holds a strong position today. But more is happening in the neighbourhood — investments that add medium-term value to your home.

Retail hub on the Makro site

On the former Makro site (Woluwelaan, ~2 km) a retail cluster opens with Colruyt Professionals, Albert Heijn, Delhaize and Hubo. Daily shopping in one place.

Under construction

Broeklin — convenience without the bustle

On the other side of the E19 viaduct rises Broeklin: 55,000 m² of retail, a 3,500-seat theatre, an urban farm. Construction starts autumn 2026, opening Q3 2028. For City Gate residents: everything within cycling distance, the bustle on the other side of the viaduct — a natural buffer that preserves your tranquility.

In progress

Wetland park (Kerklaan Master Plan)

Behind City Gate lies the Kerklaan Master Plan, designed by the same architect (Binst). Core: reopening of the Woluwe brook with a wetland park as a buffer between living and working. Works on the Woluwelaan are ongoing (completion September 2026) — the Woluwe has already been reopened, cycle paths are in place.

Approved

Multi-year plan Machelen 2026–2031

The municipality invests € 48 million (of which € 28 million own funds) in liveability: redesign of Diegem centre into a human-scale village core, more public nature in collaboration with landowners, focus on well-being for the growing population. Approved 17/12/2025.
