Highlights
Lage Leieboorden - Renewing the Waregem Waterfront, Belgium
Challenge
Reconnecting Sint-Eloois-Vijve with the River Leie meant turning a former industrial site into a place to walk, sit and get close to the water. The promenade timber had to suit outdoor exposure and daily public use.
Solution
Artes Group built the renewed waterfront with terraces, steps and an accessible ramp linking the quay to the square. AVIDES supplied certified, responsibly sourced Brazilian angelim-pedra and provided technical guidance on the timber for outdoor use. The project opened in April 2026, creating a new public route along the river.
