A major new development is taking shape on the site of the former Proximus building in Antwerp, where the Meir Corner building is currently under construction. This ambitious project will feature a new Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts campus alongside an exciting retail addition. Zara has secured the commercial space and plans to open a large store spanning 14,500 square metres across three floors.
Zara's move to this new location signals the brand's commitment to creating flagship stores in key cities worldwide. The new shop aims to provide an enhanced, in-store experience as a response to the growing trend of online shopping. This move represents an expansion for Zara and a boost for the Meir shopping street and Antwerp's reputation as a fashion hub.
The Meir Corner building is slated for completion in the latter half of 2026, with Zara aiming to open its new flagship store shortly after. The development is expected to draw more foot traffic to the area, reinforcing Antwerp's status as a major destination for fashion lovers.
