(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 19-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — SEGRO, a prominent property investment company, has partnered with Bouygues Bâtiment Industrie, a subsidiary of Bouygues Bâtiment France, to undertake the redevelopment of the historic Les Gobelins railway station near Paris. Set to be completed by 2025, the ambitious project will create the SEGRO Paris Les Gobelins Centre, an innovative urban logistics hub designed to integrate seamlessly into the city’s fabric while addressing modern logistical challenges.

The 75,000 m² site will feature approximately 20 modular units, ranging from 1,000 m² to 10,000 m², offering flexible and sustainable logistics solutions for businesses. Designed by Ateliers 4+, the project emphasizes environmental sustainability and innovation, aligning with Paris’s commitment to decarbonizing last-mile delivery and reducing the impact of logistics on urban life.

The redevelopment project is guided by three core objectives:

• Decarbonization: The hub aims to lower the carbon footprint of city deliveries, reducing pollution and noise in line with the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) initiative.
• Innovation: By incorporating cutting-edge technologies, the site will serve as a testing ground for advanced urban logistics solutions, benefiting startups and researchers in a dedicated 500 m² innovation space.
• Community Integration: The project is set to generate jobs and create services for local residents, including a service center on Rue Tolbiac, which will feature a bicycle repair shop, a community café, a concierge service, and more.

The SEGRO Paris Les Gobelins Centre is a winning proposal from the “Reinventing Paris 2” competition and will cater to a diverse range of industries, including food, medical, and urban services. Construction began in June 2024, with Bouygues Bâtiment Industrie implementing advanced site logistics to manage the complexities of building in a dense urban area.

William Nippert, CEO of Bouygues Bâtiment Industrie, expressed pride in the company’s role:
“We are honored to bring our expertise to this transformative project, which not only optimizes last-mile logistics but also fosters local economic growth and strengthens urban connections. By revitalizing the historic Les Gobelins station, we are helping to shape a more sustainable and livable urban future.”

The SEGRO Paris Les Gobelins Centre represents a milestone in urban logistics, combining sustainability, technology, and community engagement to meet the evolving demands of modern cities.
