Icade, an integrated real estate player, is committed to building the city of 2050. With 70 years' experience in building and developing buildings and neighborhoods, we are a long-term partner to our customers and stakeholders. We provide answers to the changing uses, needs and expectations of our customers.
Today, we're at a crossroads, with three major transitions overlapping and accumulating: the ecological transition, in response to a climate emergency that is binding on us all; the land transition, with land becoming increasingly scarce; and lastly, the transition of uses, which are evolving more rapidly than ever today, around both housing and work issues.
Faced with these upheavals, we need to anticipate the city of tomorrow: meet the housing needs of our fellow citizens, today and tomorrow, identify the fundamental trends that will structure our lives, transform our ways of doing things and transform ourselves to build the city of 2050 today.
We need to anticipate tomorrow's city: identify the underlying trends that will structure our lives, transform the way we do things and transform ourselves, to build the city of 2050 today.

One of the pillars of our ReShapE strategic plan is to build the mixed, innovative and more sustainable city of 2050, by deploying a global approach to developing mixed-use neighborhoods.
Demonstrators are already at work, such as the Icade Paris Orly-Rungis and Portes de Paris parks. Initially 100% office space, these districts are being transformed to meet the new challenges of the city (housing, residences, data centers, shops, etc.).
Icade is also strongly committed to meeting the challenges of low-carbon construction and biodiversity, with a €145 million low-carbon investment plan for 2024-2030, 1/3 of buildings to be constructed using wood and bio-sourced materials by 2030, and 1/3 of operations to be renovated/restructured by 2030.
The Village des Athlètes in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine is a showcase for our expertise and this vision. This district is already adapted to the climate of Paris in 2050, with bioclimatic building design and the use of geothermal energy, a mix of housing, offices, business premises and shops at the foot of the building, and an urban forest at its heart.
La Jallère in Bordeaux is a winning program among the “22 territories committed to housing”, designated by the Government in February 2024. Urbain des Bois has been selected to develop this new 35-hectare neighborhood, a demonstrator of the low-carbon city adapted to the climate challenge.
Finally, we have begun the conversion of an obsolete office asset located in the Parc Paris Orly-Rungis into a 3* hotel and a 4* hotel residence.
This vision of the city of 2050 calls for thinking on a broad partnership scale: academia, local players, start-ups, industrial groups and local authorities.
Some of these players are already very committed to the city of 2050. We are also committed to providing them with solutions that will truly transform the city: new materials, new ways of building and working, but above all, new ways of thinking about the city. A more sustainable city, where soft mobility and nature have their rightful place, and where housing, shops, offices and living spaces blend harmoniously.
