SFL – A luxury goods company chooses #Cloud.Paris

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

SFL (Paris:FLY) has let close to 10,000 sq.m. in the #Cloud.Paris building to a new tenant, in a benchmark transaction in the CBD.

The 10,000 sq.m. unit, including infrastructure for around 10%, had been let to Exane since 2015 and is being vacated in two phases. It comprises large 3,400 sq.m. floors and terraces with panoramic views over Paris.

The new tenant is making a long-term commitment, signing a 12-year lease with a non-cancellable period of nine years, at an average rent of €940/sq.m.

Its choice of #Cloud.Paris attests to the quality and durability of the asset’s positioning. The 35,000 sq.m. business centre was extensively remodelled and refurbished in 2015 and is ideally located in the heart of the 2^nd arrondissement of Paris, close to the Paris Bourse.

Its architecture and design, very high environmental quality and large floor plates attract tenants that are leaders in their respective markets and expect very high standards of performance.

Virginie Krafft, SFL Marketing Director, said: “Prime offices are still in strong demand among the world’s leading companies that want to offer their employees a unique working environment in the centre of Paris. This deal also shows that leading companies all want the same thing in terms of office facilities, whatever their business sector, with luxury goods joining finance and tech in #Cloud.Paris, which houses Meta's French headquarters”.

Following this transaction, the business centre will continue to be fully let, to five blue-chip tenants (including Coty, Generali Global Infrastructure and Royal Bank of Canada).

Exane was represented in this transaction by BNP Paribas Real Estate.
