LaSalle leases 69 Boulevard Haussmann in Paris to FLEX-O

Paris (September 11, 2024) – LaSalle Investment Management (“LaSalle”), the global real estate investment manager, has agreed a 10-year lease of its landmark office building at 69 Boulevard Haussmann in Paris with FLEX-O, a provider of premium coworking and office spaces. As part of the deal, the building, which is owned by LaSalle’s flagship pan-European core-plus fund Encore+, will undergo a new fit-out, including the replacement of windows, led by FLEX-O and its parent company Groupe Courtin.

The building offers a total lettable area of 6,700 square meters over seven floors and car parking for 95 cars. Situated in a prime location in the heart of the prestigious eighth arrondissement, 69 Boulevard Haussmann offers views of Rue des Mathurins and Rue des Arcades and exceptional transport connections. It is located just 150 metres from Saint Lazare train station and a few minutes’ walk from metro lines 3, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14, as well as the RER regional express lines A and E. The iconic Haussmannian building is positioned in the capital’s Central Business District and on one of its main shopping streets, close to major department stores.

Scheduled for completion in March 2025, the fit-out of 69 Boulevard Hausmann will transform the building into a modern workspace, combining an outstanding city-centre location with a premium range of amenities, services and technologies. The long-term lease signed with a single tenant reaffirms LaSalle’s ability to provide investors in Encore+ with exposure to high-quality commercial real estate assets in Europe’s leading markets.

David Ironside, Fund Manager, LaSalle Encore+, said: “Hosting FLEX-O at 69 Boulevard Haussmann demonstrates the flexibility of this building to adapt to a variety of uses and layout configurations, as well as the growing tenant demand for centrally located, high-quality offices. FLEX-O’s offering, their eco-responsible approach and experience in creating modern, flexible workspace environments have convinced us to work together to revitalise the attractiveness of this landmark building.”

Christophe Courtin, Founder and CEO of FLEX-O, states: “With this new location on one of the most beautiful boulevards in Paris, within one of its most iconic buildings, we strengthen our presence in the capital and reach a decisive milestone in our development. FLEX-O Paris Haussmann stands out not only for its strategic location but also for its exceptional quality, which reflects our commitment to providing our clients with prestigious and accessible workspaces. We are delighted to be partnering with LaSalle to deliver on our vision of flex-office and coworking, which combines innovation, eco-responsibility and flexibility, meeting the diverse needs of all types of modern companies.”
