In  BIS Review 56/2008  1  this way, the Großmarkthalle will remain visible to its neighbours and those visiting the Ostend area. Let me now turn to the next steps to be taken in the construction of the new premises. As you know, we are currently carrying out the preliminary construction work, having received the required permit in February.
In this context, the following work is currently being undertaken: •  Excavation work has begun for the basement of the office towers and the underground staff car park in the south of the site. •  The remaining ramp in the old railway delivery area and the two four-storey annex buildings at both ends of the Großmarkthalle are being removed.
