LBO France signs a 12-year firm lease with Groupama on its West Park building

Paris, 1 March 2017 – LBO France has signed a 12-year firm lease with Groupama for its entire WEST PARK office building, before completion of the undergoing restructuring of the property.

Located along the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line, WEST PARK is an office building of around 20,000 sqm. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location on the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business centre of Western Paris.

WEST PARK is one of the five buildings on the future 55,000 sqm campus where Groupama plans to bring together 3,200 of its employees by the end of 2017.

LBO France acquired WEST PARK (vacated by EDF in 2014) in mid-2015 and, with the help of the developer LINKCITY and the global player Bouygues Construction IDF, is currently leading a programme to fully restructure the building which is expected to be delivered at the end of 2017. This new complex reflects a firmly ecological and responsible approach and boasts dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “Excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, perfectly illustrating the effectiveness of LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments, such as the signing of the energy efficiency charter for private and public tertiary buildings last October.
