The construction of the Iris Tower by property developer Ghelamco began in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode at the end of 2018. It will have 32 floors reaching a final height of 137 meters, delivering 40,000 square meters of office spaces. Ghelamco sold its shares last year to German fund Deka Immobilien. The Brussels Region has entered into a lease contract with the owners for a period of 18 years.

"This skyscraper will become a meeting place for many employees and citizens and a new icon in the Brussels skyline", argued Sven Gatz.
