CHAILLÉ-SOUS-LES-ORMEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker: ALHGR) (“Hoffmann Green Cement” or the “Company”), an industrial player committed to the decarbonation of the construction sector that designs and markets innovative cold produced, clinker-free cements, announces the deployment of its 0% clinker cements throughout “The Batignolles” neighborhood redevelopment project, the largest private housing and commercial building project in the Nantes region, in partnership with real estate developer Ouest Réalisations, the project leader.

A 12-hectare industrial wasteland transformed into an eco-neighborhood

Located in a historic industrial district in eastern Nantes, « The Batignolles » neighborhood redevelopment project is one of the largest private housing and commercial building construction projects in the Pays de la Loire region.

This transformation of an industrial wasteland into a mixed-use, sustainable neighborhood will cover 12 hectares and include:

• 20,000 m² of new office space
• 10,000 m² of renovated industrial warehouses
• 30,000 m² of eco-designed housing

After several years of administrative procedures and the final approval of development and building permits, construction will begin in the second quarter of 2026. This large-scale regional project will make a lasting contribution to the ongoing redevelopment of this Nantes metropolitan area.

Deployment of Hoffmann Green 0% clinker cement throughout the whole project

Within the framework of a supply contract signed with Ouest Réalisations, the real estate developer leading the project, Hoffmann Green 0% clinker cement will be used in all of the project's structures.

The use of Hoffmann Green 0% clinker cement will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the buildings, in line with the project's environmental ambitions. It also guarantees a level of technical performance equivalent to traditional standards, without compromising on the quality of the structures.

This collaboration represents a significant potential volume estimated at around 50,000 m³ of Hoffmann 0% clinker concrete over the duration of the project, confirming Hoffmann Green's ability to support very large-scale real estate operations. It is part of the Company's current sustained momentum.

Julien BLANCHARD and David HOFFMANN, Co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, say: “ “The Batignolles” redevelopment project marks a milestone for Hoffmann Green. The use of our 0% clinker cement throughout the whole site illustrates the change of scale of our model and the confidence placed in us by major players in the real estate sector.”

Yannick Cougnaud Besse, Director of Ouest Réalisations, adds: “ “The Batignolles” redevelopment project is an ambitious transformation project that aims to create a new sustainable neighborhood from a historic industrial wasteland. The choice of Hoffmann cement was a natural one, aligning our environmental ambitions with concrete, operational solutions.”
