FOR REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENTS

FOR INVESTORS

Structural inbound flows. 65% inbound moves, only 7% departures: La Défense retains its tenants and attracts new ones, notably from western markets, a net positive flow market. Accelerating Prime + demand. Nearly 200,000 sqm of Prime + projects deliverable by 2030, drivers of large- account attractiveness, yield compression, and cash-flow security. Historic rental gap. The Prime CBD / La Défense differential has never been so wide and is expected to widen further by 2029, amplifying the appeal for companies seeking to combine cost optimization with quality of premises and transport access. Value creation through repositioning. Aging assets offer strong upgrade potential: restructuring and mixed-use as levers of revaluation in the face of accelerated obsolescence.

Unmatched accessibility. A multimodal hub at the heart of Île-de-France, directly connected to Paris in less than 15 minutes — and tomorrow improved access to airports and outer rings via the Grand Paris Express. Economic competitiveness. Prime rent at €615/sqm/year vs €1,250 in Paris CBD — a gap multiplied by 5 over 20 years — for buildings meeting the standards required by companies. Tailor-made flexibility. Divisible and modular buildings, full range from entry-level to Prime +, for a broad spectrum of companies and real estate needs. HR attractiveness. 70,000 students, +400 shops and restaurants, premium services: a working environment that attracts and retains talent. A diversifying ecosystem. Tech, Pharma-Chemicals, Schools, Fashion & Luxury — La Défense now attracts well beyond its historical sectors.
