Located opposite the Front Populaire metro station in Aubervilliers at the entrance of the Portes de Paris business park, this future easyHotel will be completed in Q4 2022. easyHotel plans to open a 180-room hotel with underground parking in Icade’s soon-to-be- built JUMP building. The hotel lobby and breakfast room will open onto Place du Front Populaire. Icade will also develop an office building of around 14,000 sq.m with a rooftop open to the public in this 9-storey complex designed by KAAN Architecten. Aiming to obtain BREEAM Very Good environmental certification, the building will be nestled against 15,000 sq.m of green space with over 1,500 trees. Situated on Place du Front Populaire and served by metro line 12 leading directly to the city centre of Paris including the Saint-Lazare and Montparnasse train stations, this upcoming easyHotel will be easily accessible thanks to a good road network and public transport services. Through the acquisition of a hotel in the centre of Nice in July 2019 followed by the start of construction on a hotel with over 200 rooms near Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport announced in October and scheduled for completion in 2021, easyHotel has actively pursued its expansion strategy in France. “The site developed by Icade is in every way aligned with our requirements and will contribute to further expanding our chain’s presence in France. The neighbourhood—representing yet another popular spot in the Greater Paris area and arising out of an exemplary urban reconquest project—is easily accessible and well served by public transport. Our hotel will be set amidst a lively, populated area and frequented by business customers, students and tourists drawn by its proximity and easy access to attractive destinations in the area”, explained François BACCHETTA, CEO of easyHotel. “This new agreement will enable Icade to continue its expansion policy for the Portes de Paris business park. Following the signing of a lease with the Organising Committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games for the entire Pulse building next door, we are now very pleased to welcome easyHotel which is a great addition to the range of services available on site”, declared Olivier WIGNIOLLE, CEO of Icade. easyHotel will open its doors in an urban setting composed of offices, homes and local shops. The neighbourhood already reaps the benefit of being host to a thriving and mature office area. Examples include Icade’s Portes de Paris business park (312,000 sq.m of offices, shops and services) and the new Condorcet Campus which, with its 11 buildings set on 6.4 hectares, a large library open to the public, sports facilities, student housing and eating areas frequented by over 12,000 students and researchers, is Europe’s leading centre for training in human and social sciences.
