When will the Boerentoren open?
We’re eagerly looking forward to what comes next. Keep an eye here for our latest updates on the Boerentoren.
What work is being carried out on the Boerentoren?
Early 2021 marked the start of the first works. The tower had to be completely stripped, as asbestos had originally been used in the concrete floors. Once this was addressed, reconstruction of the interior spaces could begin.
Only after the renovation is fully completed will the relocation of the artworks commence.
