Building flexible and modular environments
A data-driven smart building generates possibilities. Creating a structure with a global vision in mind and daring to be ambitious in its execution allows one to craft an ecosystem where success and ergonomics go hand-in-hand. A building will outlive the technology of its day, and as such, should be built with future upgrades in mind. This can only be achieved by understanding today’s evolving technological and sociological landscape. A large-scale, mixed-use smart-city project can integrate offices and shops with cultural and sporting facilities, and private and social housing. Flexible and modular buildings are capable of communicating with each other and can undergo mid-life conversion, thereby remaining future-forward and flexible.

Residential: Innovation for urban living
The way we live changes constantly, and the homes we live in should reflect that, whether in residential units for first-time buyers, student housing, and tourist or business accommodation. Whoever the end user, our residential real estate teams will guide you through the development and execution of your housing project, at any scale.
As a pioneer in sustainable real estate, we are the first developer with an eco-supplier charter, a commitment bolstered by the certification of our low-energy buildings and the RT 2012 thermal regulation.
