Following the success of Babel Belleville, EXTENDAM and MyHotels Group open a new address in Lille. The two partners acquire, in property and funds, two adjoining hotels (Hôtel de l’Univers and Hôtel des Reignaux, previously under the Première Classe and Kyriad brands) to renovate and restructure them.

Located between Lille Europe station and the city center, the two assets have a prime location in the heart of the Flanders Capital. Once the two establishments are combined, the 71-room hotel will be intended for a business or leisure, international or domestic customers. Babel is committed to highlight the city and its inhabitants. It will thus call upon local artisans as well as initiate a dialogue with the Lille non-profit fabric to ensure authenticity, cultural influence, and meet the specific needs of the territory!

Maud Caubet spoke yesterday at the seminar “Long Live Housing!: Transforming the existing in line with climate challenges” organized by the CAUEs of Île-de-France and the DRAC Île-de-France, on the occasion of the presentation of the work of the CAUE Observatory of Île-de-France.

This day of exchanges and sharing of experiences made it possible to address two very important subjects: rehabilitation and housing quality for all. A great opportunity for Maud Caubet Architects to present, alongside Iain Hutton, the ongoing work she’s leadinf on the site of the Château de Levallois-Perret: the restructuring of a maternity hospital into a building of housing units near a historical monument, the Hospice Richard Wallace

As ALTEV’s arrival within the REDMAN Group was announced, Julie Le Bolzer painted the portrait of Nicolas Ponson, co-founder of REDMAN, a low-carbon developer, a mission-driven company, certified as BCorp. Since 2007, Nicolas Ponson and his partner Matthias Navarro have shaped REDMAN into a force for change, with a clear vision: the development of low-carbon urban projects with a strong transformational lever.

His recent activity demonstrates REDMAN’s commitment this year to further strengthen its dedication to rehabilitation rather than construction for a future with low environmental impact and high social impact, which the group intends to develop with its peers. “Everyone needs it, but no company can do it alone… especially if it doesn’t dare,” emphasizes Nicolas Ponson.

While office and residential assets are going through turbulent times, the hotel real estate sector is holding steady and not only in anticipation of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Several long-term trends are indeed driving this sector: the lack of short and long-term accommodations, the strategic role of hotels open to their neighbourhoods in revitalizing city centers, and the permanent establishment of telecommuting leading to an increasing demand for hybrid forms of rental housing, as stated by Jean-Marc Palhon, Chairman of EXTENDAM, to Laurence Boccara for Les Echos Week-End.

The Redman Group is adding Altev’s real estate expertise to accelerate real estate rehabilitation and urban regeneration. Founded five years ago by Adrien Long and Anne-Laure Camilotto, Altev has developed more than fifteen rehabilitation and/or conversion operations for housing, offices, hotels, or managed residences. REDMAN thus confirms the strategic priority given by the group to intensify its activity towards asset conversion, expanding the scope of its interventions both in terms of building size and location, and establishing itself as a key player in this market.

“Given the climate emergency and the imperatives of environmental transition, urban regeneration emerges as a major challenge for the real estate sector,” emphasizes Matthias Navarro, co-founder of Redman.
