- 15,200 sq.m in Paris (37%), showcasing the strong retail leasing performance (6,900 sq.m) and the development of the operated office offerings in central assets (122 Reaumur, 155 Haussmann) in a context where available space remains scarce across the portfolio

Rent growth across all locations on a like-for-like basis powered by indexation, rental uplift and improved occupancy in central areas (Paris CBD, Paris City, Core Western Crescent), excluding the adjustments to the size of office surfaces or leases expireries in other locations.
-
On a current basis, the changes seen are linked mainly to the pipeline (impact of assets vacated in Q1 2025 vs fully let in Q1 2024, due to their transfer to the development pipeline (Mirabeau, Arches du Carreau), partially offset by the full contribution from the assets delivered recently in 2024: Mondo, 35 Capucines, Porte Sud).

-
Temporary impact on gross rental income of a moderate decrease in residential occupancy, due to the progressive leasing of the assets delivered in 2024 after redevelopment or refurbishment (Dareau, Ponthieu) as well as the gradual rollout of the furnished, serviced offerings which involve transforming vacated apartments: occupancy is expected to improve gradually over the coming quarters.
| Occupancy: up slightly (+0.2pt) vs end-2024

-
Q1 2025 occupancy on the rise (+0.2pt, at 93.6%) compared to the 2024 average (93.4%), thanks to the strong leasing dynamics achieved recently, despite a moderate decrease compared to Q1 2024 (that includes the impact of the new offering’s gradual rollout on the residential portfolio).
