THE EMERGENCE OF A PRIME+ SEGMENT AT LA DÉFENSE

THE EMERGENCE OF A PRIME+ SEGMENT AT LA DÉFENSE

It is in this context that prime values are increasingly diverging from the average first-hand rent, and that within the leading segment a "Prime+" tier is emerging, projects with highly qualitative intrinsic features positioning themselves as an alternative to the Parisian offer. The advent of this Prime+ supply is a key factor in attracting companies to La Défense who wish to combine an attractive environment with cost optimisation.

Companies' requirements for office space are rising, but does the supply at La Défense meet their criteria?

First-hand availabilities are plentiful (170,000 sqm new and restructured within a year), but their location, sometimes off the parvis and far from transport access, does not always satisfy users. Buildings that genuinely meet their criteria are in fact fewer in number.
