Private security in Watermael-Boitsfort
Watermael-Boitsfort is arguably the most rural of the Brussels municipalities. A large part of its territory is covered by the Sonian Forest, and its garden cities, Le Logis and Floréal, are among the most remarkable housing estates in the Region. Around Place Keym, Place Wiener and the Coin du Balai, the atmosphere remains village-like, with markets, shops and neighbourhood festivals. Boulevard du Souverain, meanwhile, is home to large office buildings and corporate headquarters. Securing Watermael-Boitsfort therefore means both supporting extensive office sites on the edge of the green belt and managing a local life that often takes place outdoors.
Sites and security challenges in Watermael-Boitsfort
The office buildings on Boulevard du Souverain occupy large wooded plots, with several buildings, extensive car parks and entrances sometimes far from reception. When a site empties, is reorganised or goes into renovation, monitoring it becomes a challenge in its own right. On Place Keym, the market and shops attract loyal customers, while neighbourhood festivals, car-boot sales and cultural events take over the squares and the areas around the ponds. Schools, community halls and sports clubs regularly welcome the public. Finally, houses and properties on the edge of the forest, isolated and barely visible from the street, may need a presence during works or long absences.

Our recommended set-ups in Watermael-Boitsfort
For a corporate headquarters, a daytime reception security officer combined with static guarding or patrols outside office hours covers the whole site, from the lobby to the car parks. An empty building or one being converted benefits from round-the-clock guarding to prevent squatting and damage. For a neighbourhood festival, a market or an open-air concert, our event security organises access, crowd flows and emergency procedures with the organiser, taking into account the constraints of an open, wooded site.
