Evere's New Tram and Road Upgrades Attract Fresh Capital Investment

Property listings in Evere posted an average sale price of 3850 euros per square metre in the second quarter of 2026, up 11 percent from the same period last year, according to figures compiled by the Brussels-Capital Region land registry.

The increase coincides with the final stages of the STIB-MIVB tram line 62 extension that links the suburb directly to the NATO headquarters campus and the planned widening of the Chaussée de Haecht. Both projects are scheduled for completion before the end of 2027 and form part of the regional mobility plan adopted in 2024.

Transport upgrades reshape daily access

Evere sits on the direct route between central Brussels and Zaventem airport, yet until recently its rail and tram connections lagged behind neighbouring municipalities such as Schaerbeek. The new tram stop at Place de la Paix now sits 400 metres from the municipal offices, while the reconfigured Chaussée de Haecht junction at the border with Neder-Over-Heembeek cuts peak-hour car travel time to the European Quarter by nine minutes, according to a June 2026 mobility study released by the Brussels-Capital Region.

Local estate agents report that two-bedroom apartments within 300 metres of the new tram alignment have moved from an average of 265000 euros in early 2025 to 295000 euros this spring. The same study notes that commercial vacancy rates along the Chaussée de Haecht fell from 14 percent to 9 percent over the same interval.

Buyers weigh timing and location

Investors looking at Evere are advised to verify proximity to the final tram stops before signing, as the price premium is concentrated within a 500-metre radius. The regional housing agency, Logement Bruxellois, has also flagged 180 subsidised units scheduled for release on Rue Colonel Bourg in the first half of 2027, which may cap further price growth in the immediate catchment.

Prospective purchasers should request the latest STIB-MIVB construction timetable and review the municipal land-use plan for any additional green-space requirements before committing funds.
