Tournesol – Sunlit Living in De Nieuwe Dokken, Ghent

For those seeking space, light and views

In the southern part of De Nieuwe Dokken, Tournesol rises as an elegant residential tower that brings summer indoors all year round. With the historic skyline of Ghent as a backdrop and the gently flowing waters of the Old Docks at your feet, this project offers a unique living experience for those seeking tranquility, light and space.

Tournesol comprises 61 residential units with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. Today, only a few apartments remain available, including a final 2-bedroom apartment and 6 penthouses on the upper floors.

Ideal for downsizers from a villa

For those exchanging their villa for a carefree urban living solution, Tournesol is a perfect match. Here, you combine the space and luxury of a villa with the convenience of a move-in ready apartment. Think of:

• living areas up to 136 m²,
• dual-aspect apartments with abundant natural light,
• spacious terraces up to 25 m² with views of both city and water,
• underground parking spaces and bicycle storage.

Thanks to the car-free environment, you enjoy complete peace and quiet, while the vibrant city center of Ghent is just a 10-minute bike ride away.

Architecture & finishing at the highest level

Tournesol is designed by BEEL Architects, known for their modern and timeless style. The terraces are integrated into a refined pergola structure that not only adds aesthetic value but also maximizes the experience of sunlight and views.

Inside, the apartments are finished according to your personal taste. Through the finishing packages offered by interior architects, you can choose the style that suits you: sleek and modern or warm and classic. This ensures your new apartment truly feels like home.

Sustainable living in De Nieuwe Dokken

Tournesol is part of one of Ghent’s most sustainable neighborhoods. The site features a collective heating network, reuse of kitchen waste for urban gardening, water purification systems and electric charging stations.
