house for sale in Aalter

In the heart of Aalter is this historic building, which plays an essential role in the rich history of the municipality. Located in Boomgaard 1, precisely on the axis linking the lively shopping street to the soothing green areas of Warande Park, the former city hall is offered for sale as part of a competitive procedure. Built in 1844-1845, the building offers a full volume of character and seeks out investors, developers or entrepreneurs wishing to give it a new future.

The building is located on Boomgaard Square and has a large volume spread over several levels. Upon entering the premises, you can reach a representative central staircase hall, which serves the various areas of the ground floor. It lends itself perfectly to various functions. The first floor includes the old council room, with wooden finishes with walls and ceiling, as well as additional spaces for offices or cabinets. The second floor houses the attic, which, after optimisation, could be perfectly arranged in a meeting center or in a landscaped office. The building also has a basement.

Although the building is listed in the architectural heritage inventory because of its historical and cultural importance, it is not a listed monument. The municipality of Aalter encourages innovative concepts that can bring added value to the neighbourhood. Several possibilities are possible, such as private accommodation (office, firm), but also a dynamic assignment combining horeca, group practice or cultural functions.

The sale of this unique property is also closely linked to the overall redevelopment of the site. The local administration will transform the adjoining Boomgaard Square into a green and welcoming space, conducive to experience and conviviality, where the old underground historic shelters could also receive a new function.

Aalter deliberately opts for a sale based on the quality of the concept, heritage value and societal added value, with a target price of € 204 000. Give this site a new destination and submit your proposal before January 31, 2027. The building can also be acquired under an emphyteotic lease.
