New-build industrial and logistics facilities
- The plant for Japanese battery manufacturer Envision AESC, which will supply Renault, near Douai (northern France). Designed for an initial annual output capacity of 9 GWh (enough to power 200,000 electric vehicles), the new plant is the first step in the development of a European energy industry cluster.
- Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB)’s new French head office complex, including a 16,000 sq. metre storage and logistics facility, in Aubagne.
Education and research
- The new faculty of economics and management at Aix-Marseille university in Aix-en-Provence (south-east France), where VINCI Construction incorporated its Exegy® low-carbon concrete solutions.
- The conversion of the former premises of the Télécom Paris engineering school, carried out as part of a comprehensive energy performance contract. This large-scale project is an example of heritage repurposing to accommodate contemporary needs (one building was converted into a student residence, the second into a research and teaching centre, and the last two into housing units). It gives pride of place to green areas, with a landscaped inner courtyard, rooftop vegetable gardens and biodiversity reserves.
Arts, culture and heritage
- The new venue for the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain in Paris. This 16,000 sq. metre complex includes generous exhibition space (6,500 sq. metres) spread over three levels. Five large mobile platforms form a flexible display system that redefines exhibition layouts by enabling multiple configurations and making the venue fully adaptable.
- The Centre Pompidou Francilien – fabrique de l’art, in Massy. More than 70% of the building’s almost 30,000 sq. metre surface area will be devoted to workshops and ultra-modern storerooms equipped with purpose-built air handling units, capable of housing 155,000 works under strictly controlled conditions.
- VINCI Construction’s specialist heritage renovation teams continue restoration work at Mont-Saint-Michel (Normandy) and Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica in Marseille. Following several cleaning and conservation campaigns completed since 2001, they are now restoring the bell tower, its stone cladding and sculpted angels, as well as the statue’s pedestal. They have also begun maintaining and renovating the eastern facades of the Capitole building in Toulouse (south-west France).
Sports and leisure
- The future La Stella cultural venue in La Trinité (south-east France), a multifunctional 1,000 sq. metre building that will house a multipurpose modular hall with a seating capacity of 1,100.
- The renovation of Strasbourg’s Stade de la Meinau, combining renewable energy, regional expertise and locally sourced or reused materials. Fuselage sections from the equivalent of 20 to 25 decommissioned Airbus A340 aircraft have been reused in the south stand’s main façade sunshades, covering more than 4,000 sq. metres.
In the 13th arrondissement of Paris, the Télécom Paris building was restructured into three parallel lots. The three sites presented common issues, such as a narrow footprint and difficulties related to working in a dense urban area.
Hotels and luxury real estate
- A tourist residence in La Salle-les-Alpes, within the Serre Chevalier ski resort in the French Alps. The building, encompassing 164 apartments and 1,550 sq. metres of guest amenities and services, has obtained NF Habitat HQE™ Très Performant certification and is targeting the BiodiverCity® label.
- Le Mas Bellevue hotel in Saint-Tropez (south-east France), showcasing the local teams’ expertise in delivering upscale tourism facilities. Work on this hotel began in February 2025, with the aim of breathing new life into the 78-room, 5-star establishment. The project will also include a spa, swimming pool, restaurant and parking areas.
Housing
- VINCI Construction was involved in numerous projects throughout France, including senior apartments in Dijon (Burgundy) and Belfort.
- It also built several co-living residences, including the Vatea residence in Huningue (Alsace), inaugurated in May 2025 as part of Les Jetées, a large riverside development led by the Constructa group. VINCI Construction delivered 200 housing units, 350 sq. metres of street-level space and communal spaces that provide a comfortable setting for conversations or collaborative work.
- Student residences include the Belle-Beille campus in Angers (western France) and the Îlot des Poiriers 2 in Villetaneuse (near Paris). The latter will comprise 300 student accommodation units and 4,500 sq. metres of green spaces.
- VINCI Construction continued to roll out its Primméa residences for first-time homebuyers with the inauguration of Le Mancel in Le Mans, Ympulsion in Créteil (near Paris) and L’Écrin in Venette (northern France).
- Building France also launched Novologi®, a high-quality, sustainable, resource-lean social housing building programme based on a collaborative approach bringing together housing organisations, future residents and partners.
- At the project preparation stage, the Adim network worked on a variety of real estate development operations, including the Agora complex in Lille, the 937 Bastion Couronné project in Thionville (north-east France), the complete redevelopment of the disused Terrot factory site in Dijon, the Cité des Aînés in Privas (south-east France) and Les Balcons d’Emma in Clermont-Ferrand.
