‘Het Getouw’ parking building inaugurated

At the U-Connect industrial estate in the Bloemekenswijk district of Ghent, the new parking building 'Het Getouw' was officially inaugurated in the afternoon of Tuesday 5 July by Filip Watteeuw, alderman for Mobility.

Of the 392 available parking spaces, 350 are set aside for local residents, visitors and employees of the industrial estate.

The remaining 42 spaces are for service vehicles of the City of Ghent. On 6 and 7 July, parking was free so local residents could test out the building.

'Het Getouw' has four floors and a rooftop parking lot, providing a total of six parking levels.

Over time, climbing plants will provide a green, flowery façade, allowing the parking building to naturally blend into its surroundings.

Construction was completed at a top pace of just 15 months.
