Foncière des Régions today announced that it has signed a 6-year fixed term lease with BNP Paribas. This relates to 2,811m² of the Silex1 building located in the main business district of Lyon Part-Dieu. This first lease agreement is testament to the high quality of this 10,000m² construction project developed by Foncière des Régions.

 

A little under one year prior to its completion, Silex1 has attracted its first tenant, BNP Paribas, who will occupy almost one-third of the surface area of this new building. Created and developed by Foncière des Régions, key player in the property sector with a longstanding presence in the city of Lyon, Silex1 is due to be completed during the 1st quarter of 2017. With a view to encouraging synergy within the group, BNP Paribas has chosen to unite its Business and Retail teams in this new building, a total of approximately 200 staff who were previously spread across two separate sites. The premises will also be home to the new head office of its Lyon-based branches. This choice has been made on the basis of the building's convenient location and its high visibility.

 

Silex1, a unique opportunity at the heart of Lyon Part-Dieu.A flagship project for the transformation of the 2nd largest business district in France, Silex1 represents Foncière des Regions' ambition for the offices and cities of tomorrow. The building itself, designed by AIA Architectes, is a vision of spacious, light-filled areas, and offers high flexibility in terms of layout so as to best meet the requirements of even its most demanding occupants.

 

Easy visible from the forecourt of the Part-Dieu train station thanks to its white Corian® facade, located on the corner of Rue du Docteur Bouchut and Rue des Cuirassiers, Silex1 boasts top-of-the-range features and services (double height entrance hall, dedicated parking, etc.). Future users of Silex1 will also be able to enjoy large outdoor spaces which include a 610m² landscaped hanging garden and a variety of terraces that total 100m².

 

Thanks to its numerous assets, Silex1 aims to achieve both NF HQETM certification rating "Excellent" and BREEAM® rating "Excellent" (associated with the BBC-effinergie energy performance label). It will also comply with RT 2012 - 20%.

 

As a key player in real estate, Foncière des Régions has built its growth and its portfolio on the key and characteristic value of partnership. With a total portfolio valued at €18bn (€12bn in group share), located in the high-growth markets of France, Germany and Italy, Foncière des Régions is now the recognised partner of companies and territories which it supports with its two-fold real estate strategy: adding value to existing urban property and designing buildings for the future.
