Het Eilandje:
"HET MAS" is more than a museum. It is an impressive warehouse in the middle of the bustling 'Het Eilandje' district. A promenade with meters-high glass windows leads you 60 meters high. On every floor you will be waiting for a new story about Antwerp, the river, the harbor and the world. The collection of 500,000 museum pieces gives you a refreshing look at the city and its centuries-long contacts with the world in permanent and changing exhibitions. And all the way up, on the 10th floor you can enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view of the city, the harbor and the river.
Justice palace from Antwerp:
In Belgium, each judicial district has its own courthouse, where the court sits. The most famous courthouse in Belgium is the Justice Palace of Brussels. Also striking is the courthouse of Antwerp, which is also called the Butterfly Palace because of the special roof construction
Stadsfeestzaal Antwerp:
In 2004, the city council signed a long-term lease with a project developer for the reconstruction of the banquet hall. The works started that same year. On 25 October 2007, the completely renovated Stadsfeestzaal opened its doors again for the general public, this time as a luxurious shopping center. The glass dome with gold leaf, the staircase hall, the original decorations, sculptures, mosaics, wall reliefs and oak parquet floor were faithfully rebuilt on the original under the control of monumental care. The marble in the large room comes from the same quarry as the originally placed marble of the room.
In addition to the shopping center, 40 apartments were also provided and an underground garage with space for 268 cars.

Boerentoren:
is a monumental building in art-deco style in the center of Antwerp. When the big project was completed in 1931, it was the first skyscraper in Europe. [1] The tower was 87.5 meters high and was the highest skyscraper in Europe, in Antwerp only the Cathedral of Our Lady is higher. The tower building got its (spot) name because of the involvement of the then Belgian Farmers' Union that the project developer, the Algemeene Bankvereeniging, controlled. The Boerentoren received, by Royal Decree, on 17 July 1981 the status of 'protected monument'.
Het Havenhuis:
The new Port House, a combination of an old protected one, in 1922 architect Emiel Van Averbeke built fire station and a new building around and above this building, stands at the Siberiastraat or Kaai 63 at the northern head of the Kattendijkdok. It is the successor of the old Port House on the Entrepotkaai 1. The new building has been the workplace for 500 employees since September 2016.
