First pile ceremony for Brucargo Central

An additional 30% of warehousing capacity and a 20% increase in green areas

About a year ago, the redevelopment of the central and oldest part of our cargo area was kicked off. After the demolition of the old buildings, most of them unoccupied for several years, the first pile was placed, officially marking the start of construction.  The demolished buildings will be replaced by three state-of-the-art logistics buildings with a consolidated warehousing capacity of 34,200 m², as well as a staff car park.

The project will be realised in line with the sustainable development strategy of Brussels Airport aiming for Net Zero Carbon, with a BREEAM-Excellent certification, optimising the use of the area with a 30% increase in warehousing capacity and a 20% increase in green areas. The redevelopment also provides safe bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure which further contributes to making Brucargo Central an attractive and pleasant working environment. 

70 million euros in total will be invested in this redevelopment in the very heart of our cargo operations.

Delivery in 2025

The three new logistics buildings will be occupied by five partners of choice: Nippon Express, DSV, Deny Cargo, EV Cargo and Hazgo. All five of them have been active at Brussels Airport for many years and wish to further expand their activities.  

The five partners were the guests of honour at the first pile ceremony. 

The first building, which will be occupied by Nippon Express, is scheduled for delivery in January 2025. The second (DSV) and third building (Deny Cargo, EV Cargo and Hazgo) will be delivered in the summer of 2025.
