ESPACES FERROVIAIRES is the SNCF's urban planning and real estate development subsidiary, part of SNCF Immobilier. We develop and renovate the Group's railway assets that are no longer needed for operating purposes, transforming them into low-carbon, sustainable and desirable neighborhoods capable of responding to social and environmental change. As a project owner, we favor a collaborative, citizen-centered ecosystem that brings together all intelligences in each development project: local authorities, developers, social landlords, investors and users... In consultation, we design and develop neighborhoods focused on the well-being and comfort of their users, anticipating conditions of health, life and use, in a restored natural ecosystem.
ESPACES FERROVIAIRES is developing the Messager office building in Paris: office, retail and urban logistics. Designed by Franklin Azzi and Hame, it is reversible into residential units.
ESPACES FERROVIAIRES has launched "Immeuble de Demain" in partnership with the Institut Français pour la Performance du Bâtiment (Ifpeb) and the CSTB, and with the support of Builders & Partners.
Adapted to the specific characteristics of its assets and its commitment to urban regeneration, this benchmark is designed to measure the environmental and social performance of the buildings that will be built in line with the post-carbon neighborhoods developed by ESPACES FERROVIAIRES.
"The special feature of this integrated, holistic approach is that it involves a methodology for measuring urban benefits right from the design stage. We want to monitor the quality of the building and its performance over time, with tangible data and indicators to analyze its robustness, in order to offer a sustainable, attractive and responsible future for our neighborhoods," explains Fadia KARAM, Managing Director of ESPACES FERROVIAIRES.
The "Building of Tomorrow" initiative illustrates ESPACES FERROVIAIRES' strategy of environmental and social performance: promoting energy and carbon sobriety, bringing nature back into the city, making the most of resources and deploying a new range of services and uses. By initiating such a virtuous loop, the repository will be able to build up a database covering all stages of a building's lifecycle, from design through construction to operation.
