This study examines how the restoration of Baron Empain palace brings about a sustainable and cultural node. It aims to assess the sustainability of the restored palace in terms of environmental, social, economic, and cultural aspects. The methodology depends on two approaches: a review of the case study and survey based on site visits. The cultural impact was mapped on the social media using Data Scraping technique. Results show that social and cultural values are prioritized, and the youth present 71% of visitors/hr amidst COVID-19. The energy audit indicates that annual consumption of the ground, first and roof floors is 69.7, 34.7, 9.6 kWh/m2 respectively, hence, meets RIBA benchmark. For economic sustainability, 38 direct jobs, and 1400 indirect jobs were created. For cultural survey, it shows that the total word counts on Instagram and Twitter are 548 and 3168 respectively. The restoration highlights the significance of the transformation and attains SDGs 4, 7, 9, 11, 12, and 13.
