On August 1st, 2024, the real estate developer completed full transformation of a historic mansion of over 2,700 square meters located at 60B Avenue d’Iéna, Paris 16th. The asset is now renamed Villa Iéna. This project, carried out on behalf of Union Investment under a real estate development contract (CPI), was led by architects Naud and Poux, who successfully combined heritage preservation, contemporary expression and respect for the site’s history.
Built by Léon Chatenay in 1883, this Haussmann-style building has undergone several transformations. The top two floors were raised, with a reconstruction of the wooden framework and dormer windows, while a wooden made new wing was added at the rear of the courtyard. Particular attention was paid to energy performance and environmental impact, aiming for HQE and BBCA certifications for both the renovated and new parts of the building.
Villa Iéna has been fully leased to a single tenant and offers now premium services tailored to the specific needs of its occupant, blending historical elements with modern touches. The courtyard has been transformed into an agricultural greenhouse, and the green terraces, designed by Les Jardins de Gally, bring a touch of nature in the heart of Paris. An artwork by the artist Yzo is also displayed in the porch, highlighting the project’s involvement in the 1 building, 1 artwork initiative.
This ambitious project underscores Redman’s expertise and skill, as the company continues to stand out for its ability to transform historic buildings into contemporary and functional spaces while adhering to the strictest environmental standards.

EXTENDAM, in collaboration with SOHOMA International and 123 Investment Managers, recently acquired Navarra Hotel in Bruges. This 4-star establishment, featuring 94 rooms and remarkable heritage, is ideally located in the historic center of the city, often referred to as the Venice of the North.
Renovation work is planned for 2025 to enhance the visitor experience while preserving the authentic charm of this fourth acquisition for EXTENDAM in Belgium.
Matthieu de Lauzon, EXTENDAM, explained: “This new acquisition, with our partners SOHOMA and 123 IM, completes our hotel portfolio in Belgium. It is our fourth acquisition in this European country, and new operations are under consideration. This establishment charmed us with its unique heritage character and premium positioning within the city of Bruges. Close to the French and Dutch borders, the Venice of the North indeed has an ideal location, just 1 hour from Brussels, 2 hours and 20 minutes from Paris, and 2 hours and 50 minutes from Amsterdam or London. This fourth employment zone of Flanders also has direct access to the port of Zeebrugge, providing a major economic and tourist advantage“.
EXTENDAM thus continues to build a very strong hotel portfolio in Europe.
