Solar center, stadium and pharmacy giving way to the housing project: "a diversified offer for investors and end-users" (Heist-op-den-Berg)

The demolition of the tanning center, Goed’s pharmacy, and the former De Monty indoor stadium at the Heist Center will usually begin in April. The pharmacy has already moved into the residence of Frans Zand, near Frans Coeckelbergsstraat. The development of the new residence De Monty is in the hands of Vanhout Projects by Geel.

“The plans are by Filip Opdebeeck of M3 Architecture. Both are very skilled parties,” says real estate agent Matthias Vleugels of Immo Point Vleugels of Heist-Goor. “The design is striking and offers a diverse mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments. So both investors and end users can find something to their liking here.”

A new building of eight apartments will be built along the Bergstraat. “As required there, two new commercial buildings of 114 and 230 square meters will be built on the ground floor,” says Vleugels. “On Franz Coeckelbergsstraat, seven apartments will be built in the car park between Belvius and Het Compass. Behind it, there will be a public crossing between Bergstraat and Frans Coeckelbergsstraat for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users.”

Everything is at hand

The apartments’ spaces reach 179 square meters. They often have a balcony in the front and back, so you can enjoy the sun all day,” Vleugels adds. “The location is excellent for people with a youthful profile as well as for people who like to have everything very close at hand.”

There are seventeen underground parking spaces on the site. To ensure smooth traffic, access is provided via Frans Coeckelbergsstraat. The broker explains: “Entry and exit are prohibited in Bergstraat.” “Storage spaces are underground too. An elevator ensures easy access to the apartments. There are eleven above-ground parking spaces, including commercial parking spaces and a number for Belvius.”

launch extension

The new building on the Bergstraat has an E-20 level. The building on Frans Coeckelbergsstraat achieves level E 30. “The buildings use underfloor heating, heat pumps and solar panels,” says Vleugels. Ample budgets are provided for completion and a VAT rate of 6% is possible. Prices start from 19,500 euros.

According to schedules, De Monty’s residence will be ready by the end of 2023. Interested parties can currently register for the launch event at Immo Point Vleugels in Heist-Goor. “We planned that next Saturday, but because of the great interest, we also added it on Sunday,” says Matthias Fliegels. “Even before a letter was published about the project, three apartments had already been allocated. This says something about the interest. In any case, it would be a great added value for Bergstrat.”
