The building will accommodate both 47 housing units for home ownership, expected to be marketed at the start of next year, and a shared housing residence, a formula better known under the term “coliving”, which will be in operation. particularly intended for the student population of the territory.
On the program, 81 rooms and studios, organized around common areas, the operation of which will be entrusted to Colonies, precursor of coliving for young workers which until now operated in places with a small capacity.
This young growth raised funds of 180 million euros last spring, and can count on the 30,000 students and the 13 higher education establishments of Cergy-Pontoise, to begin its development in the department. It already has several programs in Seine-Saint-Denis (Bagnolet, Rosny-sous-Bois, Noisy-Le-Grand), in Hauts-de-Seine (Colombes), in Val-de-Marne (Créteil, Villejuif ) and in Seine-et-Marne (Fontainebleau).
Medical home
On the ground floor, a medical center will bring together nurses, general practitioners and specialists, as well as a biological analysis laboratory and an imaging center. The place is intended in particular to relieve the emergency rooms of the hospital center. The shops and activities, covering 800 square meters, will be directly accessible from the forecourt of the SNCF station, served by trains of line A of the RER and those of line L of the Transilien. There must be a pharmacy, a restaurant and a food outlet.
The agglomeration of Cergy is also planning to acquire part of the slab space for artistic and cultural activity. Nothing has been finalized yet, but a reflection is underway to open a music recording studio. The department of Val-d’Oise is already rich in this area.
