Pelican (Century Center)

Pelican is one of four distinctive subprojects within the Century Center redevelopment, a joint initiative by Baltisse and QRF to revitalise Antwerp’s city centre. Located right next to Antwerp Central Station, it offers one of the most accessible and visible addresses in the city.

This building combines high-quality office space with retail on the lower floors, enhanced by abundant natural daylight and surrounding green areas. It is fully fossil fuel free and equipped with 84 bicycle spaces and 220 car parking spaces, meeting modern mobility and sustainability standards.

Century Center, once a historic complex housing a hotel, cinema, and shopping gallery, has been transformed into a vibrant urban destination. Across its four subprojects – Pelican, Novo, Deco, and Arto – the redevelopment delivers 10,000 m² of retail, 22,000 m² of offices, and 8,000 m² of parking. Each subproject has its own architectural identity, yet together they create a cohesive and lively environment that blends heritage, contemporary design, and functionality in the heart of Antwerp.
