New builds in Pajottegem (Gooik): former mill makes way for 7 houses

Name: Skinn Agency
Price range: $

In the heart of the Pajottenland region, in the municipality of Pajottegem (Gooik), Potrell will soon breathe new life into an outdated industrial site. A residential development with 7 new-build houses will soon take shape where a mill with grain silos stood for many years. The site on Oude Heerbaan will therefore undergo a major transformation.

“Locations like this offer a strong opportunity for quality redevelopment,” says Florence, land acquisition specialist at Potrell. “This is a spacious plot in a strong location in the Pajottenland region. By opening up these old, paved sites and making them green again, we improve the quality of life in the area and give the neighbourhood room to breathe again.”

Demolition of industrial site creates openness in Gooik

Today, the site is characterised by paved surfaces, enclosed structures and a predominantly industrial appearance that no longer fits the residential character of the street. Removing the old structures will restore a sense of openness to the streetscape of Oude Heerbaan. Views towards the rolling landscape of the Pajottenland region will become visible again, reinforcing the open character of the surroundings.

Soil remediation as the basis for sustainable property development

Due to the mill’s industrial past, the soil at this location has become contaminated. Before the new-build houses are constructed, the land will be fully remediated. This means addressing the contaminated soil and restoring the soil quality. Professional redevelopment starts with healthy soil. The remediation will make the site suitable again for safe and sustainable living in Gooik.

This approach highlights how property development can benefit the entire neighbourhood: it is about restoring the surroundings and structurally improving the quality of life.

“The redevelopment of sites like this has a positive impact that extends beyond the development itself,” says Florence, land acquisition specialist at Potrell.

Living in Gooik: greenery, tranquillity and easy accessibility

The site will accommodate 7 houses, carefully designed to reflect the scale and rural character of Pajottegem and the Pajottenland region. The development focuses on more greenery, fewer paved surfaces and preserving open views, creating a peaceful, high-quality living environment.

Living in Pajottegem (Gooik) means enjoying expansive fields and village charm, combined with easy access to Brussels and the surrounding municipalities. In this way, the former mill on Oude Heerbaan will make way for a contemporary development offering new housing opportunities.
