Financial company SOGEPARC was created in 1968, probably under the impetus of Spie Batignolles, which, like GTM, was increasingly interested in parking concessions. By 1974, SOGEPARC managed 23 parking lots. By 1987, the number of lots under management had increased to 37 and the company was listed on the stock market. From then on, SOGEPARC recorded robust growth. In 1997, it was the largest underground car park operator in France, with 78 lots under management, and began stepping up activities abroad.
In 1998, following a successful takeover bid, SOGEPARC became part of the SGE group. VINCI's merger with GTM paved the way for the merger of SOGEPARC with Parcs GTM, which led to the creation in 2001 of the world leader in parking concessions: VINCI Park.
