The two projects share remarkable similarities. Focused on the wider environment the successor to Forges de Clabecq aims to make the future of Tubize more attractive. Spanning about 12 hectares and housing around 80 shops, TOM-Tubize Outlet Mall is envisioned as the flagship of the Quartier des Confluent. This green retail outlet, with integrated residential spaces and urban farming on the shopping centre’s rooftop, is part of a newly named residential neighbourhood that seeks a stronger connection with the water of the canal and the Zenne River, rather than with the city’s industrial legacy.
