Later the building was converted for commercial purposes. It served, among other things, as a Renault garage, as a storage place for the vehicles of the Antwerp Taxi Maatschappij and as a parking garage under the name Garage Leopold. In 2016, the building was demolished for the construction of new apartment buildings. With it, one of the last physical relics of the 1920 Olympics disappeared.
