Brussels(The Brussels Morning Newspaper): NATO has traditionally provided a luxurious mansion in Brussels for its Secretary General and this tradition continues with the appointment of Mark Rutte as the next leader who will take over from Jens Stolenberg in October.

For ages the NATO Secretary General has had a fancy and safe home at Bossquare on Louizalaan. This tradition makes sure the Secretary General has a nice place to live while doing their job. The new place for the next NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte who starts in October is expensive at twelve million euros. Mark Rutte will be taking over from Jens Stoltenberg as the new NATO boss. The tradition of giving the top NATO leader a nice place to stay continues.It has been said that this home is not just for living but also for important meetings and events, helping the NATO Secretary General with their diplomatic work. The fancy home at Bossquare on Louizalaan shows how NATO takes good care of its Secretary General. It gives them the right place to work well and do their job properly.

Will Mark Rutte known for his simple lifestyle embrace the luxurious NATO mansion at Bossquare?

The big fancy house at Bossquare on Louizalaan has over twenty rooms. It’s in a safe area with security gates for important people. This mansion is not just a home but also a place for important events showing how crucial the NATO Secretary General’s job is. It costs twelve million euros proving how vital it is to give a top international leader a nice place to stay. The fancy neighborhood has some really rich and important people living there. Like Paloma Picasso daughter of the famous artist Pablo Picasso and the Taittinger family known for their champagne. It’s also home to Charles De Paw grandchild of Charly De Pauw who planned Manhattan in Brussels’ Noordwijk. This posh area is safe and prestigious fitting for its wealthy residents and making the NATO Secretary General’s home even more special.

The NATO boss’s house is in a fancy area in Bossquare, Ixelles, near Avenue Louise and Bois de la Cambre. It’s a gated community with 24 big mansions, keeping them private and safe. People in Brussels call it the “billionaires’ quarter” because it’s super secure and luxurious. Even though they call it the “billionaires’ quarter,” not everyone living there has billions. But they are super rich and powerful like big business people, famous artists and those inheriting lots of money. They love living in this top-secret and exclusive part of Brussels where privacy is key.

Even though Bossquare is super safe with secret codes and cameras some say the new NATO boss Mark Rutte might want to stay where he’s comfortable instead of moving there. He’s known for being down-to-earth and liking a simpler life unlike the fancy Bossquare. But the mansion is all set for him with tight security and everything he needs for his important  job in diplomacy.
