A diversified portfolio of assets tailored to the needs of our tenants
With more than 1,900 assets, 10% of which are located in Europe, outside of France, La Française is active across all market segments, and currently has a strong presence in the office sector. In 2021, the group closed 45 acquisitions totalling 2.2 billion euros, of which 69% were offices.
To protect the value of its real estate portfolio, the group regularly and strategically opens up to other sectors. In this respect, La Française was a pioneer in the creation of Groupements Fonciers Viticoles. Our ambitions for diversification are currently focused on segments with a positive social impact, such as health care, as well as residential, managed residences (students and seniors) and last-mile logistics. Geographically, La Française has always favoured the core countries in Europe. The Group will continue to invest in capital cities but will not lose sight of regional markets, where the proximity of the asset to public transport is key.
La Française Real Estate Managers actiely manages its portfolios in order to address new user habits and requirements. To do so the asset manager has a three-pronged approach based on: SUSTAINABILITY, FLEXIBILITY/SERVICES and LOCATION.
In 2022, La Française Real Estate Managers created and launched a new services offer designed to suit tenant’s business requirements and needs for flexibility: Wellcome by La Francaise. The aim of the new service is to facilitate and enrich the tenant's user experience while optimising rental conditions: new innovative lease options and an exclusive benefits programme with “à la carte” services, negotiated with partners of La Française Real Estate Managers. Wellcome by La Française is operational for twelve assets and will be extended to the asset manager’s European office real estate portfolio..
Innovation at the service of our investors
For its retail investor client base, the objective is to simplify and democratise access to collective real estate investment vehicles, by making them more flexible and creating an open line of communication with the end investor.
