successful set-Up 64

Lyon is one of the top six urban areas in Western europe for real estate investors and is the only city able to challenge Paris as the most enterprising city of the future, according to the ernst&Young city attractiveness rankings for France (entrepreneurship rankings). these two facts neatly sum up the attractiveness of real estate in Lyon.

the office, business, and logistics space occupancy rates and the limited increase in costs per square meter, which are competitive with the rest of europe, are essential assets of the Lyon’s real estate market. In 2010, €384 million were invested in corporate real estate. In addition, active oversight policies for major urban projects ensure that there is a dynamic outlook for the future.

With the Company Welcome scheme developed by Greater Lyon, companies benefit from a proximity-oriented approach to help provide individualized location solutions according to their real needs in order to:

n provide a land and real estate solution suited to their needs

n develop quality services

n prioritize development operations in time and space while taking business conditions into account.

With undeniable dynamic mastery, the city continues its economic growth and attracts entrepreneurs from all walks of life: service industries, business, logistics and industry. Knowing, moreover, that the urban area is well known for its quality of life, we understand why its attractiveness radiates throughout europe and the world.

aN attractive urbaN area

Despite the difficult economic conditions, Lyon confirmed its position in the 2010 version of cushman & wakeman’s annual rankings. Lyon is officially the 19th most attractive european city, thanks to the carefully-managed range of new property that it offers (transparency and phasing, diverse users, competitive rental costs). Lyon’s reputation for business property is growing. Lyon is ranked 6th for the value for money of its tertiary-sector property and 15th for the quality of life of its employees. a significant number of company directors see Lyon as an attractive place to set up business, ahead of geneva, manchester and Hamburg and equal with frankfurt.

n

a resistaNt, Diverse market

Lyon has stood up to the economic climate thanks to a healthy rather than speculative market, and high-quality projects that meet the needs of businesses.

In 2010, €384 million were invested in Lyon. among this total, 53 % were invested in tertiary-sector property (83 % in 2009), with the rest mainly divided between mixed assets (25 %) and logistics (15 %).

a number of major transactions in late 2010, including the sale of two buildings ‘‘off plan’’, demonstrated that Lyon remains an attractive city and a safe bet for investors, on a european scale.

The Lyon urban area is now more attractive than ever to investors

in the corporate real estate market with a varied and quality offering of premises

in line with requirements.

Office space ON tHe iNcrease

service industry activities are an important axis of Lyon’s economic development, and these now account for two thirds of the city’s assets. as the second concentration of decision-making centers and second service industry hub in france after paris, the Lyon urban area now offers almost 4.9 million m² of offices, and the stock continues to grow. along with Lyon Part-Dieu, the main business district that will be enhanced by high-rise buildings (the Oxygène tower, 39,000m² including 28,000m² of offices delivered in 2010, and the incity tower, 40,000m² delivered in 2014), other additional large-scale tertiary sector hubs are in the pipeline: Lyon Confluence (delivery of Le monolithe - 14,300m² - in 2010; delivery of the regional headquarters - 40,000m² - in 2011), Carré de soie ( lot touly - forthcoming operation to create 11,000m²), Vaise (delivery of the second phase of the Docksite - 5,300m² - in 2010) and Lyon Gerland (delivery of the second phase of the Quatuor and gerland plazza - 14,700m² - in 2010). as a result of this ‘‘multipolarisation’’ in the tertiary sector and the implementation of property construction projects to meet business needs (high-quality property projects that are energy efficient and accessible by public transport), tertiary sector activities remained strong in 2010, particularly in the city center.

n

a sOLiD market

after a lacklustre 2009, activity picked up again in the Lyon market in 2010: 219,488 m2 of space was allocated to users (up 34 % compared with 2009), 40 % of which was new-build property, totalling 462 transactions. the volume of allocated new-build space remains stable (88,000 m2), confirming that both supply and demand remain strong in Lyon, even during a period of crisis. Nominal rental rates remained at between €230 and €250 per m² excluding tax (excluding towers and unusual buildings). these figures for 2010 demonstrate that users are attracted to the major sectors in the center of the urban area, which have good public transport links, high-quality buildings and services for both businesses and their employees. these include the Lyon Part-Dieu neighbourhood (25 % of total allocated space), gerland (16 % of total allocated space) and Lyon Confluence (12 % of total allocated space), followed by vaise and the pôle Économique Ouest (western Lyon economic cluster).

these excellent figures are boosted by the presence of more large individual transactions (43 transactions over 1,000 m2 compared with 31 in 2009). these include: gL events - 8,500 m2 in confluence, DreaL (regional department for environment, land-use planning and housing) - 14,824 m2 in Lyon part Dieu, Job center - 7,800 m2 in gerland and pro-btp - 6,432 m2 in vaise. total stock availability after six months is 282,000m², 18 % of which is new-build stock.

n

... aND attractive

to opt for Lyon rather than paris is to choose to make potential savings of over €1.3 million per year to locate a decision-making center of 100 people in 2,000 m² of offices. relocating to Lyon also means salary costs that are 5 to 15 % lower and a very competitive cost per m2: €230 to €250 per m² for high-end office property, compared with €830 per m² in paris…

During this difficult period, the city can also count on its quality of life, and the quality of its infrastructure, which are determining criteria for locating companies and managements that are consolidating and rationalizing their real estate property.

As the second concentration of decision-making centers and the second

service-sector hub in France after Paris, the Lyon urban area offers almost 4.9 million m²

of offices, and ample opportunities for industrial and logistics businesses.

today, 99.97% of Rhône companies are connected by broadband (DsL). However, broadband needs are now doubling every two years. these needs must be met through fiber optics, which is the only technology that can carry extremely high volumes of information. because of these very high levels of investment, providers limit installation to the most profitable areas. greater Lyon’s goal is to optimize coverage of the region and promote the competitive dynamics that provide attractive pricing. tomorrow’s challenge for the region is therefore to develop a competitive high speed internet offering for all businesses in the urban area.

although Lyon is one of the major logistics hubs for the north/south-east backbone of france (Lille/paris/Lyon/marseille), 2010 saw a net decline in allocated demand: 227,000 m2 was allocated (364,000 m2 in 2009), 58 % of which was rented. this reduction, which had been anticipated by business property professionals, is due to the fact that marketing of the major operations on the outskirts of Lyon was completed in 2009.

the Nord isère region and the plaine de l’ain, in particular, saw new business set-ups in 2010.

the amount of immediately available property on offer totalled 616,000 m2, 26 % of which was in new developments. rental values varied between €38 per m² in existing property and €55 in new-build property.

the changes in this neighborhood over the next 20 years will be guided by an ambitious project, designed to reinforce its existing assets and improve its international reputation.

this project will make Lyon part-Dieu a permanently competitive and attractive area to rival anywhere else in france and europe, based around a creative, modern, dense, interconnected and high-performance business district offering an unrivalled level of service.

Lyon part-Dieu is expanding rapidly towards the key milestone of 1.5 million m2 of tertiary-sector property. the construction of a new generation of high-rise buildings will create a new skyline, worthy of any of europe’s great business districts.

with its innovative methods and progressive deployment, the Lyon part-Dieu urban project will encourage collaborative design and construction programs based on shared interests and ambitions. as well as tertiary-sector property, this project also includes housing and services, breaking with traditional approaches to urban development and anticipating future uses, services and lifestyles, both at home and in the workplace.

a HigH-aDDeD-vaLue, urbaN tertiarY- sectOr Hub

the ambition of Lyon part-Dieu is to become the location for innovative living and working environments, in high-added-value urban surroundings, focusing on:

- connectivity at local, national and international level

- easy and fluid movement. all public spaces will be redesigned to make it easier to move around and facilitate access to the different area of the neighborhood

- shared ground-floor business services. the aim is to combine reduced costs and high-quality employee services by creating intercompany restaurants and nurseries, connected meeting rooms, “logistics” service spaces, concierge services, convention centers, collaborative spaces, etc.

- opening up cultural and leisure facilities to enable people to wait for their train in the library or catch a concert at the auditorium during their lunch break, for example.

n The open railway station: as the focal point of Lyon Part-Dieu, the central railway station will be transformed into an open square, serving as a public space in harmony with its urban environment. It will offer a range of services linked to its role as a hub: a reception point for business travelers and tourists, a large-capacity hotel complex and multiple access routes to the northern and southern ends of the neighborhood.

n The heart of Lyon Part-Dieu: with the transformation of Rue Garibaldi and the development of the Auditorium esplanade, the unique character of this area will be enhanced and underlined. the development of the shopping center roof terrace will create an open-air leisure space covering more than 7 acres, where visitors can get away from their busy urban surroundings. the shopping center itself will be entirely redesigned to create greater harmony with the neighbourhood and to improve transport links and accessibility.

In total, more than 5,000 new employees will move to Lyon Confluence by the end of 2011.

South of the historic peninsula at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, one of the largest city-center

urban planning projects in Europe is enabling Lyon to double the size of its city center. The Lyon Confluence

district covers 370 acres, and the majority of this area is used for public spaces, which account for half of the

surface area of the first phase. With its terrace-lined marina, park offering a mile-long walk along the Saône,

accommodation, stores, cultural and leisure facilities, major companies and institutions, Lyon Confluence

is sure to become a new prestigious location in Lyon.

Lyon confluence is not just a business district, it is also a brand new neighbourhood. it will include the forthcoming unibail-rodamco leisure and retail park and blocks of mixed-use High environmental Quality (HQe) buildings created by 12 teams of famous architects to attract key decision-makers and investors. investment today amounts to €1.15 billion, of which 64 % is held by private investors.

finally, close to the perrache tgv station, the transfer of prisons to the outskirts of Lyon (may 2009) and the conversion of several buildings has opened new possibilities for this 19th-century neighbourhood. these include the creation of more than 100,000 m2 of tertiary-sector space around place des archives. a feasibility study is also underway into the possibility of converting the entire neighbourhood using eco-renovation techniques.

a cONcept iN vOgue

to the east of Lyon, in villeurbanne and vaulx-en-velin, the carré de soie enjoys an exceptional environment. Near the Jonage canal, the project is part of the extension of the grand parc de miribel, one of the largest natural peri-urban green spaces in europe. the development project will enhance these landscaping assets to create the "inhabited park" concept, providing future residents and users of the site with a new way of living.

Accessibility is another advantage of carré de soie, only a quarter of an hour away from downtown Lyon and part-Dieu station by metro line a and tram t3. the cycle and pedestrian routes along the canal and the tramlines will provide tranquil connections with the city center. since the rhônexpress came into service in 2010, Lyon-saint exupéry airport is now just 15 minutes away. in 2013, carré de soie will benefit from the opening of the boulevard urbain est (Lyon eastern expressway), which will connect the neighbourhood with the ring road and the motorways leading to paris, marseille and geneva.

n

tHe first prOgrams

the leisure and retail park developed by altaréa opened in spring 2009. it offers a complex boasting 60,000 m2 of net floor space, focusing on family entertainment with a pathé multiplex cinema with a total of 15 screens, 50 shops and restaurants and 8 supermarkets. a number of activities will also take place within the renovated racecourse (pony club, urban board sports center, etc.). the installation of this flagship facility was accompanied by the launch of the first public transport cluster programmes. the cooperation and ethical finance cluster will open for business in autumn 2011.

this tertiary-sector project features 12,500 m² of space for ethical finance, social housing, engineering and consultancy firms. the first housing programmes have also been launched (bouwfonds marignan and rhône saône Habitat).

2011 will see a number of new operations to support the development of a mixed, vibrant neighbourhood. the tase factory - an iconic building that symbolises the past and present of the neighbourhood - will be converted, creating around 9,000 m² of space for offices, tertiary-sector activities and shops, which will be made available on the open market. construction work will also begin on a tertiary-sector building of 11,000 m² at the end of the year.

Located 15 minutes from Lyon-saint exupéry airport, close to Lyon bron airport and connected to the 3 tgv stations in the urban area, the park is served by the tram line, which connects it to downtown in 30 minutes.

the park’s other attraction lies in the flexibility and diversity of locations it offers to businesses: the development of turnkey rental projects with facilities. the park is a victim of its own success, with only 2 development operations remaining, by Lazard group and bouygues immobilier, offering more than 20,000 m2 for rental or purchase.

For 10 years, east of the urban area, Lyon Technology Park at Saint-Priest has

expanded over nearly 350 acres, developing an innovative concept of sustainable

development that combines economics, ecology and a social dimension. Hosting high value-added

companies in cutting-edge sectors such as biotechnology, environmental sciences and information

technology, the Park received an award for local public enterprises (EPL).

biOHeaLtH, a verY HeaLtHY sectOr

Both in France and abroad, the Lyon urban area is one of the key clusters in the Life sciences sector, with three areas of expertise: infectious diseases, cancer research and neurosciences. the Life sciences sector in Lyon currently includes 600 companies, among which are world leaders (sanofi pasteur, bioMérieux, Mérial, Merck serono, etc.), sMes and subsidiaries of international groups. It also includes 150 academic research laboratories and 40 hospitals, accounting for 70,000 jobs.

As part of its Life sciences development strategy, Greater Lyon encourages public-private partnerships, a key factor for success in innovation and local development. In this way, Greater Lyon has worked to develop the Lyonbiopôle competitiveness cluster and the CLARA cancer research cluster, encouraging exchange between industry, clinicians and acade-mics. Greater Lyon also supports companies and institutions in matters of land and property to establish, expand or relocate their operations throughout its region.

Finally, Greater Lyon has introduced and manages a network of institutio-nal partners, offering a full range of services in the Life sciences sector. this partnership strategy helps to attract talent, to sustain innovation and to assist in the creation of companies and in their development.

this is a coherent dynamic solution initiated and supported by Greater Lyon, which is attracting more and more investors and heads of international companies in the Life sciences sector.

the Lyontech campus is part of the two university sites in Lyon selected to participate in the request for proposals for the "Campus Plan" project, launched by the ministry of Higher education and research in early 2008. with this project, the université de Lyon aims to make the Lyontech campus an exhibition ground for Lyon’s skills in the clean technologies and post-carbon engineering sectors. the core of the project involves restoring the campus based around five scientific districts: physics, biology, chemistry, it and engineering. the campus’ openness to the world will be strengthened by the creation of a collaborative projects unit, the “axel’One” technology platform, managed by the axelera competitiveness cluster (a collaborative r&D projects unit in the clean processes and innovative materials sector) and an innovation center, where economic stakeholders, competitiveness clusters and research development departments can come together. New start-up business hosting facilities will also be available.

n

tHe ceNter fOr iNNOvative busiNesses

this center, with 9,000 m² of technically adapted office space, is already host to small and large companies with innovative business activities that put them in close contact with the research community: schools, the university and major companies. its unique organization allows for the optimal use of all the resources available to businesses that want to succeed in the development of an innovative idea, or a new product or process, which benefit the university laboratories in order to promote the industrial application of their research.

By consolidating 40 % of the scientific potential of Lyon, the LyonTech

university campus, the new name of the "La Doua scientific campus", is an exceptional

address in Lyon. It brings together qualified personnel, networks of scientific

and technological experts, research centers and specialized training agencies.

LyonTech, the first higher education and research site in France, is also home

to 50 innovative and high technology companies that employ 700 people.

greenopolis is a “citizens’ business park”, combining high-quality premises, integrated management services and actions designed to encourage the development of stable employment. the inclusion of the park in the La Duchère urban free zone also demonstrates the strong support for this project from the urban area’s economic stakeholders.

The idea behind the Greenopolis business park was to redevelop an old, former

industrial building for use by new businesses. The site is located in Vaise, and will house

a mixed-use business park (offices, business and trade premises and a business village),

with premises available to buy or to rent.

by road (a6, a7, a42, and a43 motorway interchanges), rail (tgv) or air (more than 120 direct destinations), the airport offers businesses a passenger and cargo hub that is unique in europe. all major european cities are accessible by direct flights and roundtrips daily. the construction of the new terminal 3 for low-cost traffic began this year. this will increase the airport’s air travel capacity. With its own tGV station, the airport is less than two hours from paris city center and will be connected to the eurocarex european express freight network by 2015.

the airport is linked to the Lyon part-Dieu tgv station in less than 30 minutes via the "rhonexpress" tram line. it also benefits from a connection to the teR regional rail services and quick and easy links to the Loire, ain, Drôme, Nord paca and southern burgundy regions of france.this is a connection that will strengthen the sustainable development policy that the companies at the Lyon airports site have been following over the past decade.

Lyon-Saint Exupéry is more than just an airport – it is a high-performance multimodal platform,

a genuine center of environmental excellence that hosts a multitude of shops and services.

Last summer, a direct express transport link was completed, connecting

the airport to downtown Lyon. Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is developing

an ambitious real estate program, aiming to become a "City airport" connected

the porte de l'isère urban area boasts france's number one logistics platform and is the clear leader in this sector. all the links in the logistics chain have come together to form the pôle d’intelligence Logistique europe du sud (piL’es - southern europe Logistics intelligence cluster) to work on the issues facing the sector by 2020.

the high-potential renewable energy sector is also experiencing strong growth in the porte de l'isère urban area: photovoltaics (photowatt, pv alliance, solarforce), hydrogen and fuel cells (soprano) and even biomass… the porte de l'isère urban area is helping this sector to develop through the tenerrdis competitiveness cluster and via the creation of the renewable energy park.

in order to meet growing demand in the healthcare sector, the porte de l'isère urban area has initiated the creation of the Nord isère médipôle (medical cluster), comprising three top-level hospitals totalling 700 beds and, at present, 1,500 employees. the services available at the site will be extended through the creation of tertiary-sector premises.

aN OppOrtuNitY tO cONvert reaL estate

rental of computer storage space for businesses is becoming a real opportunity to convert and redevelop real estate property. former warehouses and other outdated buildings are perfect for accommodating a data center, provided the structural requirements are taken into account: the building must have a floor with sufficient weight-bearing capacity and be equipped with ventilation, a dual power supply, fiber optics, etc. greater Lyon is assisting companies by designing a program to redevelop properties by setting up dedicated task forces that bring together the various stakeholders (eDf/rte, isps, france telecom, urban planners, consultants, etc.).

n

a tOwN witH fiber!

the Lyon urban area has an excellent fiber optics telecom infrastructure, particularly through the presence of two GIX points (internet interconnection nodes) that accelerate and secure data exchange. it also has electrical power substations available near the prime contractors, research laboratories, and service centers. investors can also count on a labor pool of highly-qualified workers and on the presence of the best website management specialists.

Data ceNtertHe New geNeratiON Of iNvestmeNt

Data centers are coming back to center stage. Construction of these data processing centers

has resumed over the last two years, faced with companies’ growing needs for gigabytes. The sector is expected

to experience double-digit growth over the coming years. The Lyon urban area provides fertile ground for those

who want to invest in IT storage, while giving a new lease of life to their real estate assets.

Since 2007 the exponential growth of storage needs has exceeded world-wide storage capacity.
