Paris, 26 March 2025: La Française Real Estate Managers (REM), a subsidiary of the La Française group, the multi-specialist asset management division of Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale, has acquired off‑market a mixed-use business park located at the heart of the Athélia V Zone at 390 Av. des Rosiers in La Ciotat (13). The transaction was carried out on behalf of a real estate fund.

Delivered in 2021, the business park consists of two independent buildings, divided into 12 modular units, offering a total of 3,624 sqm of activity space and 1,056 sqm of office space. Each unit provides great layout flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of users in sectors such as industry, mechanics, perfumery, storage, maritime activities and technical services.

The site benefits from a strategic location just 2 km from the A50 motorway, between Marseille and Toulon.

The park will undergo an investment program including, in particular, the preparation of the roof for a future photovoltaic installation and the implementation of sub-meters to improve energy management.

Guillaume ALLARD, President of La Française REM, stated: “This acquisition, covered by a ten-year guarantee, is fully aligned with our investment strategy which focuses on multi-tenant assets that are flexible and well adapted to the evolving needs of businesses. The business park is ideally situated within a hub dedicated to advanced industry and innovation, bringing together more than 50 companies from a wide range of sectors.”

La Française REM was assisted in this acquisition by the Allez & Associés notarial office.
