Development and construction potential
The 1,649 m² plot offers significant development opportunities, in a mixed-use zone, beyond just the existing building:
- New building on the East side - at the location of the current garages, the land registry and plot configuration allow for the construction of a new building of 250 m² footprint over 14 m in height, for industrial or rental use, with the possibility of an underground garage. Such a project represents a significant value creation lever for the investor in the medium term.
- Conversion of attics into lofts - project plans already exist (dated architectural variant), illustrating the creation of two ~68 m² lofts in the attics (ridge height 3m20, rafter height 1m80).
- External elevator - possible installation on the west side, making the floors fully accessible and significantly increasing their rental value.
CAPEX
