Monumental Redevelopment Site

Some buildings transcend their original purpose. They tell a story, shape the urban landscape and deserve a new future. The former Saint Anthony of Padua Church in Lokeren is one such exceptional property.

This remarkable redevelopment site comprises the neo-Gothic church and the adjoining parish hall, situated on two plots with a combined land area of 1,397 m² and a gross floor area of 1,802 m².

The impressive church forms the heart of the project. With a clear height of 13.8 metres, authentic stained-glass windows, timber rib-vaulted ceilings and an extraordinary sense of space, this landmark building provides an inspiring setting for a high-quality redevelopment. The adjoining parish hall offers additional development potential and creates greater flexibility within a future masterplan.

Subject to the applicable planning regulations and required approvals, the site is ideally suited for hospitality, a boutique hotel or bed & breakfast, an event venue, a cultural or experience-led concept, wellness facilities, offices or a mixed-use development combining multiple functions.

Ideally located in the centre of Lokeren, strategically positioned between Ghent and Antwerp, the property enjoys excellent accessibility. Shops, schools, public transport, the railway station and Lokeren's Market Square are all within walking distance, combining historic character with a prime central location.

A rare opportunity to breathe new life into an iconic landmark and realise a future-oriented project in a unique location at the heart of Lokeren.
