Financial dynamics remain strong despite a slowed real estate market!

Paris Region has been selected as the European region of the future for 2023 and the most attractive destination for foreign direct investments in Europe, according to the European Cities and Regions of the Future 2023 ranking by fDi intelligence from the Financial Times. The political stability, maturity, and liquidity of the investment market make Île-de-France a sought-after destination for foreign investors targeting real estate. It is also one of the most transparent and organized markets in the world.

Europe’s Largest Scope of Real Estate Solutions

Paris Region, with its extensive real estate market of 56 million square meters, is a collection of varied and specialized districts, making it an appealing location for various industries, research, and lifestyles.
The use of our buildings has undergone significant changes, particularly due to remote work and expectations regarding offices or housing are evolving. The real estate market has recently transformed as companies reconsider the traditional office model in favor of more flexible options and third-party locations.

The environmental constraints are strong: "Do better with less!"

The law is advancing for a "low-carbon" building sector and a sustainable future! Environmental regulations like RE 2020, the implementation of Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE), the tertiary decree, and the Zero Net Artificialization (ZAN) policy are compelling stakeholders to excel in construction. We are speeding up the adoption of solutions that combine simplicity, sustainability, and value creation: creating heat islands, combating pollution, inclusive furniture, and smart lighting, among others.

The 2024 Olympic Games will leave a legacy of more than 42 structures for future generations

The developments and constructions made to host the Games will be seamlessly integrated into the operation of the cities where they have been established. As an example, the Olympic Village will be transformed into an urban neighborhood, featuring 11,000 residences, 120,000 square meters of offices, 3,200 square meters of retail space, a 3-hectare landscaped park, 7 hectares of green spaces, and a renovated gymnasium. In the residences, demountable partitions and elevators will be reused in the construction of other nearby urban projects.
