A commercial centre with 126 stores, including twenty or so which are new to Belgium, a leisure centre and media centre: this 160,000 m2 complex, designed by the famous architect Ron Arad, has now been opened to the public in the Longdoz district.
Médiacité has three main functions, notably the 42,500 m2 retail space with 126 stores of between 150 and 5,000 m2. These boutiques include twenty or so which are setting up in Belgium for the first time.
Médiacité also houses a 15,500 m2 leisure centre, with an Olympic-sized skating rink and a cinema.
Its 25,000 m2 media centre will host 17 businesses connected with the image sector, as well as the RTBF entertainment and fiction production centre, which should be completed in autumn 2010.
