An A-list location in the heart of Mechelen
Arte Nova is an architectural gem in the heart of Mechelen. A green residential development, it is embedded in a rich historical context. The eighteen apartments and two commercial spaces on the ground floor were sold in no time at all.

Light is a key feature in Arte Nova’s design and many clients appreciated the superb courtyard garden and contemporary architecture with champagne-coloured materials. This development is another great example of Antonissen Development Group’s emphasis on quality and style. Take a look at our current or planned developments.
Respect for architectural history
Arte Nova combines respect for Mechelen’s wonderful architectural heritage with a contemporary design, champagne-coloured materials, harmony and light being its key features. The blue accent adds visual interest. The green residential development has 18 apartments and two commercial spaces on the ground floor. Its selling point? The 2 penthouses, including one with an XL terrace, have unbeatable panoramic views of the city.
Luxurious apartments with windows on both sides
Every residential unit has its own layout, with a luxurious finish, smart living, two bathrooms and a spacious terrace which can double as another room. All the apartments have windows on either side, drawing in daylight and ensuring you can make the most of the morning and evening sun. Once you have had a taste of Arte Nova, you will never want to leave.
Green everywhere you look
A 750-sqm courtyard garden! It’s not often you get this lucky in an apartment building. By day, this green oasis is open to the public while, at night, the lush garden can only be accessed by Arte Nova’s residents. Do you have green fingers? You will be happy to know that Arte Nova has a kitchen garden and greenhouses on its 475-sqm rooftop.
Because of Arte Nova’s prominent location in Mechelen, we have opted for a sustainable design with spacious units. The building blends in beautifully with its historical surroundings thanks to well-thought-out details and a clever use of materials. Arte Nova’s high-quality housing reinforces the urban fabric.
Friends told me about Antonissen Development Group and that is how I found out about some of their developments. I now own an apartment in Zurenborgpoort, which I bought for my children. My contacts with the Antonissen team were transparent and good every step of the way. I also liked that they sent me regular updates about the progress of the works. They even took photos to document the evolution of our apartment and the building.
