Usquare

Usquare.brussels is a transformative real estate development project situated in the heart of Brussels, Belgium. Its primary objective is to repurpose the former Ixelles military barracks into a dynamic and sustainable urban neighborhood. The project encompasses a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and public spaces, all designed to foster a vibrant community atmosphere. A key component of this initiative is UR Square, a transitional occupation that reimagines the Usquare site as a creative, sustainable, and innovative hub. This collective project places the community at its core, driven by the energy and collaboration of its members. UR Square promotes the sharing of resources, skills, and human energy, creating an environment conducive to inspiration and creativity. Regularly, UR Square organizes activities open to the public, providing opportunities for residents, visitors, and the academic community to engage and connect. These events contribute significantly to the social and cultural vitality of the neighborhood. More than just a temporary occupation, UR Square serves as a genuine crossroads of ideas and encounters, encouraging individuals to rethink common uses in a responsible and supportive manner. Each building within UR Square becomes a space for expression and residence for sustainable, circular, innovative, social, educational, cultural, and creative initiatives. The initiative is managed by the non-profit organization WonderMei, reinforcing community involvement in the project's management. UR Square is, above all, a space open to all, where projects and communities thrive together. Visitors are encouraged to explore the richness and diversity of the programming through the agenda and resident sections or via the project's Facebook and Instagram accounts.
