Gent De Porre

quiet residential area near the center of Ghent
60 high-quality housing units in a green setting
attention to sustainable energy supply, water management and mobility
1000 m² of neighbourhood support functions
living in a unique setting with respect for the past and high ambitions for the future
in collaboration with Sogent, Ghent city development agency

In Gentbrugge, we are redeveloping the former textile factory on the De Porre site into a new residential neighborhood over the coming years. Matexi is realizing this new project after winning the competition organized by Gent’s city development company (sogent).

The new development will include 60 family-friendly residential units, 12 of which are budget homes, as well as an underground parking garage for residents and visitors.

In an earlier phase, sogent had already redeveloped part of the former spinning and weaving mill on the site: a neighborhood park was created, the local primary school was expanded, and a new community center was built.

That didn’t stop the team from adding even more community facilities. To preserve and encourage the vibrant character of the area, we are introducing ‘De Knoop’, a lively place full of urban energy.
‘De Knoop’ will be located in a prominent, accessible, and welcoming spot — right along the main cycling and walking axis at the heart of the site.

Together with local residents and other stakeholders, a suitable purpose for this space will be explored.
