Playing a central role in sustainable innovation

The development of the Saint-Ouen Docks business improvement area (ZAC) as an eco-community is designed to lead by example in terms of urban quality, architecture and environmental issues.

An integral part of the urban fabric on the banks of the Seine, the Saint-Ouen Docks eco-community occupies 100 hectares at the gateway to Paris and La Défense. In partnership with BNP Paribas Real Estate, Emerige is developing two commercial buildings to design by architects Bécardmap and DGM, which have been appointed primarily for their excellent understanding of the ZAC, and a residential project of 227 homes is being developed by the Group.

Its status as an important focal point has driven the decision by the Île-de-France Regional Council to base itself in this new eco-community. Following completion in 2021, it will offer an attractive opportunity for companies concerned about workplace quality of life and urban dwellers looking for a greener environment, because the finished development will include 2,500 m² of green riverside terraces.

Emerige and its partners have actively embraced the challenges involved in the urban development of this fast-growing area.
