Jean-Marc Palhon, Chairman of EXTENDAM, explained: “The market is lacking rooms to meet demand. Occupancy rates and prices are nowadays very high across Europe. Trends will probably change during the next 12 to 18 months. If interest rates continue to decline, many investors will be less concerned and will have easier access to credit, which will boost asset values“.
To optimize opportunities in this market, real estate private equity funds remain a preferred option. By investing in both property and business assets, these funds offer a dual source of income: regular rental payments and potential capital gains from the business. Expected returns can reach double-digit levels, though they vary depending on the strategies employed.

The renovation of the iconic Ariane Tower in La Défense, is reaching new heights with a fully glass facade. Originally built in 1975, the tower is transformed to reduce energy consumption by 40% by 2030 while preserving the building’s unique design.
Acting as the project management assistant, REDMAN plays a crucial role in this ambitious project. Emilie Gonnot, Program Director at REDMAN, emphasizes: “This renovation is a true technical feat, allowing us to maintain occupant comfort while modernizing the tower’s energy performance“.
Since the work begun in November 2023, REDMAN has ensured effective coordination to minimize the impact on the building’s 85% occupancy. The operation is the first of its kind in Europe for an occupied high-rise building and highlights the group’s expertise and innovation in managing complex projects.
Did you know that only 28% of engineers in France are women? The association Elles bougent is committed to changing this reality by breaking down gender stereotypes and encouraging young girls to consider careers in industrial and technological sectors.
Founded in 2006 by Marie-Sophie Pawlak, a passionate and visionary engineer, Elles bougent was born from a simple fact: companies struggle to recruit female talent in such fields, still too often seen as male-dominated. To reverse this trend, Marie-Sophie Pawlak brought together companies, engineering schools, and dedicated mentors to show young girls that these careers are not only accessible but also fulfilling.
Today, thanks to Elles bougent, thousands of middle school, high school, and university students are discovering the many opportunities available to them in scientific and technical fields. Through inspiring events, testimonials, and meetings, the association works to break down barriers and spark new vocations.
A big round of applause to Elles bougent for their ongoing commitment to gender diversity and for their impact on the future of young girls!
