GhentSeaport On the east bank of the canal, in one of the most important economic zones in Flanders. 6business units Two fully renovated industrial buildings and four new warehouses. ## New life for the Balmatt site In October 2019, Hexagon acquired the former grounds of building materials group **Balmatt in Ghent's seaport**, a 4.4-hectare site on the east bank of the canal. In the ’70s, asbestos products were made here. The old factory building was demolished in line with strict legal rules, while the other buildings were renovated and reused. This gave rise to the **Hexaport business park**: a total of 27,000 m² of industrial buildings for storage, logistics and production. Two existing industrial buildings were fully renovated and four new warehouses were built. The new section, some 10,000 m², is located next to the offices of the Shipping Police. The project creates additional jobs close to the city, much to the satisfaction of the City of Ghent. At the end of 2021, the entire site was sold. ![Hexaport AM Hexagon Hexaport EXT02 View01 Final Vs001 20200701](https://dllf5dp7t3bfm.cloudfront.net/transforms/Import-hxgn.be/Projecten/Hexaport/_1068x800_crop_center-center_85_none/28444/Hexaport-AM_Hexagon_Hexaport_EXT02View01_Final_Vs001_20200701.webp) ![Hexaport AM Hexagon Hexaport EXT04 View01 Final Vs001 20200701](https://dllf5dp7t3bfm.cloudfront.net/transforms/Import-hxgn.be/Projecten/Hexaport/_1068x800_crop_center-center_85_none/28445/Hexaport-AM_Hexagon_Hexaport_EXT04View01_Final_Vs001_20200701.webp) ![Hexaport AM Hexagon Hexaport EXT03 View01 Final Vs001 20200701](https://dllf5dp7t3bfm.cloudfront.net/transforms/Import-hxgn.be/Projecten/Hexaport/_1068x800_crop_center-center_85_none/28446/Hexaport-AM_Hexagon_Hexaport_EXT03View01_Final_Vs001_20200701.webp) ![Hexaport AM Hexagon Hexaport EXT01 View01 Final Vs001 20200701](https://dllf5dp7t3bfm.cloudfront.net/transforms/Import-hxgn.be/Projecten/Hexaport/_1068x800_crop_center-center_85_none/28447/Hexaport-AM_Hexagon_Hexaport_EXT01View01_Final_Vs001_20200701.webp) ## Discover the location of the Hexaport business park The Hexaport business park is located in **Ghent's seaport**, on the east bank of the canal.

On the Balmatt site, that meant carefully demolishing the asbestos-containing factory building in line with the legal rules, and giving the newer buildings a second life. No soil remediation was needed. In this way, we created new space for business without taking up additional open space. ![Hexaport AM Hexagon Hexaport EXT03 View01 Final Vs001 20200701](https://dllf5dp7t3bfm.cloudfront.net/transforms/Import-hxgn.be/Projecten/Hexaport/_1068x800_crop_center-center_85_none/28446/Hexaport-AM_Hexagon_Hexaport_EXT03View01_Final_Vs001_20200701.webp) ## FAQ Are there still units available at the Hexaport business park?
