HIGHLIGHTS

Everything you need to live and study comfortably.

In the heart of Mechelen

Live in Mechelen’s historic centre, on what is officially known as “Mechelen’s most charming street”: the newly redesigned and vibrant shopping street Onze-Lieve-Vrouwestraat.

The Bruul, IJzerenleen and Vismarkt are all within walking distance, with cafés, shops, food spots and public transport close at hand. The campuses and railway station are also easily accessible, both on foot and by bicycle.

In short: everything nearby, without the hustle and bustle of a major city.

Safe and worry-free living

The Fifty One has been completely renovated in line with today’s student housing standards. Fire safety, smoke detection, evacuation provisions, acoustic comfort and sustainable building systems were all integrated into the design from the outset.

So you can enjoy a home that is not only stylish, but also safe and worry-free.

Premium comfort

Each unit has been designed with comfort, privacy and ease of use in mind. You will have a high-quality room or studio with private bathroom facilities, high-speed Wi-Fi and a thoughtfully designed interior.

If you choose a studio, you will also have your own kitchenette, equipped with a hob, microwave and refrigerator.

Intimate and full of character

No anonymous residential block with endless corridors, but a boutique residence with just 13 student units. This makes The Fifty One a more personal, peaceful and pleasant place to live.
