The project

Enjoy the sea and the green,at the heart of Ostend.

Petit Paris is rising on Koninginnelaan in the Belle Époque district of Ostend. The North Sea and the Royal Galleries connect with the Japanese Garden, the Thermae Palace, Princess Stéphanie Park and the tennis club. Living between city, park and sea.

The arcades and the grand foyer create a place of repose for residents and passers-by. A place where life, refinement and identity meet. Architecture with attention to people, practical comfort and an eye for every detail.

An address whose value has been proven for decades,and that will carry that value into the decades to come.
