Financière Saint James has acquired a mixed Haussmann-style residential complex consisting of three typical buildings of the Plaine Monceau area, located at 91, 93 and 93 rue Jouffroy d’Abbans in Paris (75017).
In the immediate vicinity of Parc Monceau and rue de Courcelles, these three independent and adjoining buildings of more than 14,000 sq.m are built on a double basement with 90 parking spaces and are located around vast tree-line courtyards. This exceptionnal complex is made up of 90 apartments and offices.
Financière Saint James has carried out major beautification and renovation works to place these high-potential assets in a high-end segment, in line with its unique location. The common areas have been renovated ; the interior courtyards have been transformed into tree-lined gardens and the parking lot has been optimised for user experiences. Former service rooms on the top floor have been extensively restructured to create lofts with exceptional volumes. This repositioning offers a building reconciling the charm and nobility of the old properties with the accommodations of modern buildings.
Financière Saint James is executing a major restructuring operation at 206 rue Lafayette on behalf of a consortium of three investors of which Financière Saint James is the main partner. It is a real estate complex built around a private interior passage bordered by nine buildings.

It underpins the creation of a living space of 10,000 sq.m, mixing housing, shops and offices, with many outdoor spaces and a private courtyard. The building permit has been obtained and served.

In December 2016, Financière Saint James acquired office space at 45 rue Saint Charles in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The location, which was previously used as a server room, had many technical and administrative issues. The project consisted of converting this complex into a singular coworking space, with spectacular volumes. The building permit, obtained in 2018, envisaged the creation of more than 1,300 sq.m of office space. The building was finally sold at the end of 2018.

The building permit for this project, developed by architect Philippe MAIDENBERG, was obtained in 2017. Demolition work began in 2020.
