Investors & Property Owners
Acquisition of tenanted or vacant retail premises, buildings and portfolios — and discreet representation for owners wishing to sell or lease.
Expert advice, off-market access, rigorous support through to closing.
Buy — Invest in Paris Retail
We run confidential buy-side search mandates for international investors seeking retail assets in Paris — private buyers, family offices, property companies, French REITs (SCPI) and German institutional investors. Most of the assets we transact never reach the open market.
Acquiring tenanted retail premises means rent flows from completion. No vacancy period, no tenant search: the lease in place secures your income the day the deed is signed.
The French commercial lease ("bail 3-6-9") gives landlords a minimum nine-year term with statutory renewal rights, annual rent indexation on the ILC retail rent index, and a structured legal framework in case of default — security deposit and termination clause included.
Well-located retail premises appreciate with market rental values. In prime high-street locations — Saint-Honoré, western Paris — scarcity and indexed rents are natural drivers of long-term asset value.
Before recommending any acquisition, we examine tenant covenant strength, quality of location, remaining lease term and renewal conditions. Your investment rests on verified fundamentals, not on a brochure.
Asset Types
Ground-floor retail units with a tenant in place under a commercial lease. Neighbourhood shops, national retail brands, restaurants, services.
Vacant units to reposition or re-let. An opportunity to optimise rental value by choosing your tenant and setting the lease terms.
Single-let or multi-let retail buildings, mixed-use assets, arcades. Larger lot sizes for property companies, French REITs (SCPI) and institutional investors.
Acquisition and disposal of several assets, en bloc or unit by unit. Portfolio arbitrage, restructuring, larger-scale operations.
Retail parks and out-of-town retail units at city gateways. Attractive yields, strong tenants, long leases.
Offices, warehouses and showrooms, tenanted or vacant. Commercial or mixed-use business assets across the Paris region and beyond.
Yield Indicators
Yields observed in the market depend on location, tenant covenant, remaining lease term and the condition of the property. These figures are indicative only and do not constitute a commitment of any kind.
Our Method
Budget, location, asset type, target yield and tenant profile. We agree the selection criteria together before any search begins.
Access to our network of sellers, partner agencies and off-market owners, built over a decade in Paris retail real estate. We identify the opportunities that match your criteria.
Tenant covenant, lease compliance, condition of the property and consistency of the price against market evidence — all verified before you commit.
Drafting the offer, negotiating price and conditions precedent. We defend your interests through to the written agreement.
Support through to signature before the notaire. We coordinate with legal counsel, banks and every party involved — in English.
Sell or Lease — Entrust Us with Your Property
A shop, a retail unit or a building — often inherited, or held from a distance for years. Whether you wish to lease it to a quality tenant or sell it at the right moment, we act as your representative in Paris and handle everything on the ground.
A decade of transactions in western Paris and the city centre gives us real comparables — actual rents and prices achieved, not asking figures. You receive a documented opinion of value before deciding whether to lease, sell or hold.
Your property is presented off-market or to a shortlist of qualified retail brands and investors from our network. No public listing unless you want one; your name and your asset stay confidential throughout.
The "bail 3-6-9" lease, assignment of lease rights (droit au bail), statutory diagnostics, coordination with the notaire: we navigate the French framework for you and explain each step in plain English before you sign anything.
From the first valuation to completion, you deal with one advisor — visits, negotiations, paperwork and reporting included. Wherever you are based, you stay informed without ever needing to be in Paris.
