Press release
Paris, 23 October 2015
Lyon Confluence: Real Estate AG
signs purchase commitment with Icade on office building.
AG Real Estate announces that it has just acquired, off-plan, a mixed shops and offices
building. The "FACTORY" building, to be built by Icade to the design of Swiss architect
Christian Kerez, with 6750 m² including 4 ground-floor retail premises, will be delivered in late
2017.
The building will form part of the Ynfluences Square city block, the first in Phase 2 of
Confluence. This positive energy city block, which Icade is developing, consists of 28,100 m²
of mixed real estate programmes across 8 buildings (2 office and 6 residential - 234 units),
2,000 m² of shops and activities, and utility areas (crèche, janitor, meeting room). Ynfluences
Square revolves around two secure inner courtyards, shared by all users of the buildings
making up the city block.
Ideally located on the Cours Charlemagne urban artery at the foot of the Tramway, 'FACTORY'
will offer high quality premises with top energy performance. The building will carry NF HQE
Tertiary certification (targeted level: Excellent), with the EPOS Effinergie Label sought for the
entire block, and have a high density photovoltaic roof.
‘The "FACTORY" is our first office investment in Lyon. We selected this project as meeting all
our quality and architecture requirements. We are convinced that this programme, which we
are launching on a speculative basis, will soon find users looking for an efficient building in a
recognized office area’, says Thibault Delamain, Head of Investment and Asset Management
at AG Real Estate France.
AG Real Estate France was advised by Théret consultants and by Objectim. Consultants
ALCAIX & Associés advised the seller.
