For a long time, the Old Docks were part of the Ghent port area. But in the second half of the 20th century, ships became increasingly larger and there appeared to be no room for expansion in the area around the Achterdok, the Handelsdok and the Houtdok.

Since the Port Authority decided to move its activities and permanently withdraw from the old port area, the site has been transformed into a new vibrant district with homes, offices and recreational facilities.
