19 new student rooms again in Hasselt's Demerstraat: "A solution for shops without a future"

Three vacant commercial buildings in Hasselt will be demolished to create 19 new student rooms. The project, led by developer Happykot, aims to address the growing demand for quality student housing. Construction is set to begin after the summer break in July 2024, with completion expected by February 2029. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to combat urban vacancy and transform the city center into a mixed-use area. Local officials emphasize the importance of monitoring housing supply to maintain balance in the city.
