Carmila opens the extension of the Nice Lingostière shopping center
Carmila opened the extension of the Nice Lingostière shopping center. A new version shopping center that welcomes 50 new brands in the home, fashion, leisure and restaurant sectors, bringing the overall offer to 100 stores and creating 400 additional jobs. In order to meet both the expectations of residents wishing to have a wider range of products, and to support the strong urban and economic development of the territory, Carmila, owner and manager of the site, initiated, upon its acquisition of the site center in 2014, an extension project in partnership with the Carrefour group and Carrefour Property. Conceived in collaboration with all the local actors, this project aims to make the Nice Lingostière center a real place of life for the entrance to the agglomeration and participates in the urban renewal of the latter. The restructuring of access and exits to the shopping center is part of the PUP (urban partnership project) led by the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis in order to support the extension of the shopping center. Objectives: simplify access from the North and the South, increase access capacities from the M6202, facilitate inter-site exchanges and travel for all users. The design of the project also takes into account the need to fit into a remarkable urban, natural and landscaped environment thanks to the materials used and the site’s revegetation plan. Its ambition is to offer a range of specialized brands, shops and restaurants for all Niçois, the inhabitants of the hinterland, the working people and users of the Eco-Vallée. The centre’s mixmerchandising has grown from 50 brands over 8,000 m² to 100 brands over 20,000 m², becoming a real shopping destination for the whole family. The project, led by Carmila and Carrefour, required 90 million euros of investment.

The Foncière Aalto teams, through the Cap Transactions Group, supported a group of investors in the acquisition of a 2,105 m² business and office building leased to the company Enedis in Bretteville-sur-Odon (14), municipality of Caen la mer.

Independent of the energy suppliers responsible for the sale and management of the electricity contract, Enedis performs connections, repairs, meter reading and all technical interventions. This club deal thus confirms Foncière Aalto’s desire to position itself in first-class service and activity markets while respecting strict specifications. Delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.
AMPERE Gestion launches a new investment fund to strengthen the supply of affordable housing in Ile-de-France
Providing housing adapted to the needs and resources of key workers is one of the priority objectives of the CDC Habitat group, the leading landlord in France. In order to continue in this proactive approach, the Group, through its subsidiary AMPERE Gestion, has raised more than 200 million euros from institutional investors, including BNP Paribas Cardif, the additional pension establishment for the public service (ERAFP ), and Generali, to finance a portfolio of affordable housing assets in Ile-de-France managed by CDC Habitat. Already made up of 700 housing units in operation and with a target size of around 1,000 housing units, this system makes it possible to develop an affordable housing supply where market conditions do not allow the production of intermediate housing. Rented on average 15% below market rents and located in the most tense communes of Ile-de-France (Paris and Hauts-de-Seine), these housing units allow key workers to find accommodation as close as possible to employment pools. The fund has adopted an ambitious socially responsible investment policy, which will involve, on the one hand, the implementation of a plan to improve the environmental performance of existing homes and, on the other hand, the rating of each new asset with regard to demanding social and environmental criteria.
