Ardian, one of the world’s leading private equity houses, acquired a 70% stake in the 53,000sqm Pointe Amont de l’Île Seguin project, located on the Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt, in close vicinity to Paris. This is one of Ardian’s largest property investments to date.
The project will be co-developed with Emerige, a developer committed to urban transformation, and AOG, a private investment company. The large-scale development will create a fully integrated, mixed-use environment in the heart of the Vallée de la Culture and the ZAC Ile Seguin Rives de Seine developed by SPI Val de Seine Aménagement – a tertiary, leisure, tourist and cultural zone, located close to the headquarters of major companies as well as to several public transports.
Work began in August 2022 and is expected to be completed by late 2025.
A mixed project designed as an ecosystem generating synergies with its environment
The project consists of 3 buildings:
· A 22,000sqm mixed-use building with a cultural focusdesigned by Catalan firm RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker Prize 2017) and French agency CALQ Architecture. The building will house shops, a Pathé Cinéma Multiplex with innovative and state-of-the-art auditoriums, and a cultural center as well as offices, steps away from the Seine Musicale and the Albert Kahn Museum.
