Development and construction potential
The 1,649 m² plot offers significant development possibilities in a mixed zone, beyond just the existing building:
- New building on the East side - in place of the current garages, the cadastre and the configuration of the plot allow for the construction of a new building of 250 m² on the ground over 14 m in height, for industrial or rental use, with the possibility of an underground garage. Such a project represents a significant value creation lever for the investor in the medium term.
- Conversion of the attic into lofts - project plans already exist (dated architectural variant), illustrating the creation of two lofts of ~68 m² in the attic (roof height 3m20, rafter height 1m80).
- Exterior elevator - possible installation on the west side, making the floors fully accessible and significantly increasing their rental value.
CAPEX
