Vilvoorde: Northern Gateway to Brussels

With 48,040 inhabitants (2025) over 21.57 km², Vilvoorde is one of the largest towns in Flemish Brabant. Located directly north of Brussels along the Brussels–Scheldt sea canal, the municipality (postal code 1800) groups the main section and Peutie, plus the hamlets of Houtem, Koningslo and Het Voor.

Sections and profile

Vilvoorde centre : Historic core with the Notre-Dame de Bonne-Espérance church (14th century) and the Basilica of Notre-Dame of Consolation. Commercial density around the station and the road towards Brussels.

Peutie : Peripheral south-east section, quieter and residential.

Koningslo, Houtem, Het Voor : Residential areas mixing family homes and subdivisions.

Industrial zone and housing

The proximity to the canal and industrial past (the former Renault factory operated here from 1935 to 1997) left behind converted office and logistics zones, often equipped with secured doors and access-control systems. The centre retains 19th-century workers’ and tenement houses with period mortise locks, while the new neighbourhoods along the canal feature modern apartments with European cylinders and multipoint locks.

Daily interventions in Vilvoorde

37.7% French speakers live alongside Dutch speakers and Moroccan and Spanish communities — our team works in Dutch and French. The location at the junction of the R0 ring road, railway line 25 (Brussels–Antwerp) and the canal generates a dense flow of commuters and logistics, leading us regularly to intervene in centre apartment buildings, business-park offices and homes in the peripheral sections.
