Warehouses and factories have long since left the bosom of the modern city. A guarantee of quality of life in the last century, this movement is now coming up against the reality of new lifestyles in the city: the explosion of e-commerce, the rise of alternative modes of transport to the private car, and the demand for proximity.
The return of logistics and productive activities to the city is therefore a necessity. Adapted, controlled urban logistics, resolutely oriented towards the ecological and social transition, providing sustainable solutions to contain the impacts and nuisances associated with the new uses and lifestyles of city dwellers.
As a property company specializing in real estate solutions for urban logistics, last-mile deliveries and productive activity in the city, Sogaris is developing a mesh network of logistics spaces designed for dense cities and capable of accelerating the reduction of the impact of goods mobility. In particular, Sogaris has contributed to the emergence of a new generation of buildings specifically dedicated to this activity: logistics hotels and local logistics spaces.
The Ardoines logistics hotel in Vitry is a multi-storey production building unique in the Paris region, combining logistics, offices, retail and a green roof, at the heart of a district undergoing transformation.
Logistics hotels
Hybrid, shared buildings designed to accommodate multiple uses, notably logistics or the productive economy. Logistics hotels make it possible to share infrastructure while reducing the carbon footprint and nuisance associated with the activity, all with a strong architectural ambition.
The Ardoines logistics hotel (Vitry-sur-Seine, 94) is the most accomplished example, with its 35,000 sq. m. of parcel delivery space, commercial signs for craftsmen, and 8,000 sq. m. of productive green roofing.
Urban distribution spaces
Local sites, inserted into the dense urban fabric, dedicated to the last mile, in particular for cyclologistics. Urban distribution spaces facilitate rapid, low-carbon deliveries, while integrating harmoniously with public spaces and offering opportunities to optimize vacant land.
Logistics hotels and urban distribution spaces embody the new generation of logistics and production real estate developed by Sogaris.
