History

The Residentie Royal Ascot was designed by architect Georges Boutelier, who previously designed apartment buildings in the 1950s on the Albert I Promenade. Construction took place between 1978 and 1979/80 by the M&M Ilegems NV.

It is currently the home of Ostend Studio with nearby facilities such as the Kinepolis Oostende and the Renbaan stop.
