In Gentilly, the property arm of Caisse des Dépôts bought a 13,000 m2 scheme from an investment fund managed by Oreima, formerly known as Ofi REIM, for €50 mln.

The building is entirely leased.

In Clichy-Batignolles, Icade has agreed to sell the Twist office development project to Groupe des Assurances du Crédit Mutuel for an undisclosed amount.
