A new life for an abandoned industrial site
In 2025, VINCI Immobilier signed an agreement with Savoie Réfractaires to purchase a disused industrial site in Vénissieux (east-central France) for rehabilitation. The transformation of this abandoned factory dating from the late 19th century aims to both repurpose the land and preserve industrial heritage. Two new buildings and some 100 newly planted trees will turn the 5-hectare site into a modern, functional space. The operation illustrates VINCI Immobilier’s strategy of meeting climate challenges by leveraging its expertise in urban land recycling and rebuilding cities in place. The company has translated its vision into a measurable goal: to achieve no net land take for all of its property development operations in France by 2030.
In France,
the city of Aix-les-Bains (south-east France) awarded a comprehensive energy performance contract for urban lighting, building illumination, sports lighting, festive illuminations, traffic lights and urban video surveillance to Citeos (VINCI Energies). Signed in December 2025, the contract covers a period of 12 years.
In Canada,
VINCI Construction laid the last rail at Westboro station in 2025, marking a milestone in the extension of one of Ottawa’s light rail transit lines. The new sections are now all connected to the existing network, providing Canada’s capital city with a rapid, modern and integrated means of transport. The station will be brought into service in 2026.
