The station's design had to be changed after complaints from residents. [1] The new northern section of line 3, which includes the station, is the most difficult part of the construction project. Completion could take ten years. [2] In June 2023, Beliris asked for help from the Belgian Government, following a series of delays and cost overruns. [3] As of December 2022, construction of the new line was expected to be complete in 2032.

The station's entrance will be a short distance from the Place Eugène Verboekhoven/Eugène Verboekhovenplein. Construction requires expropriation of two large buildings. [4]
