The Île-de-France region is at the heart of real estate development in France, concentrating the largest urban projects and the main players in the sector. As the capital region, it stands out for its exceptional population density, a wide variety of uses (residential, tertiary, logistics, public facilities), and a very dynamic economic fabric. Developers of all sizes – both national and regional – are active in the region to meet the needs of housing, urban development and modernisation.

BNP Paribas Real Estate, a national and European leader in commercial real estate, is one of the main developers in the Paris region. According to the 32nd edition of the Innovapresse ranking, the group recorded a record turnover of €2.2 billion in 2019, making it the leading French developer in this sector. This performance represents an increase of +91% compared to the previous year. This exceptional growth was particularly evident in the office segment, with 162,000 m² sold and a 392% increase in sales. At the same time, BNP Paribas Real Estate continues to position itself strategically in the residential market, in line with a policy of measured diversification. At European level, the group is continuing its development in the logistics sector: in 2025, in partnership with Cushman & Wakefield, it launched the co-exclusive marketing of a modern logistics platform in Subirats, near Barcelona, demonstrating its active commitment to major cross-border operations.
