KONS

Blending urban functions to perfection

Situated in a prime location opposite Luxembourg station, the KONS project involves the demolition of the former "Kons" gallery and the construction of a 20,500 m² mixed-use project including 14,600 m² of offices housing ING's Luxembourg headquarters. The project also includes retail space, 32 apartments and a 5-storey underground car park. The building is BREEAM "Very Good" certified. AXA Real Estate acquired the building during the construction phase.

Concept and architecture

The project involved rehabilitating an old, obsolete building into a modern, upmarket complex with green roofs and internal courtyards. In order to re-use the 5 levels of underground parking on the old site, M3 Architects and our engineers opted for a mixed steel-concrete structure. This technical challenge was awarded the "Ingenieurpreis des Deutschen Stahlbaues-award" in 2017. In addition to offices, apartments and shops, KONS also features a 120-seat auditorium.
