Opera Victoire in Paris

Revitalisation and ESG-oriented increase in value of a historic office complex

With the revitalisation of the historic Opéra-Victoire office complex, Deka Immobilien is taking a pioneering approach to the future-oriented upgrading of existing properties in urban areas. During the comprehensive renovation project, the building complex was given a distinct new profile.

Successful transformation opens up new perspectives

The three-building Opéra-Victoire office complex is located a stone’s throw from the world-famous Opéra Garnier in the 9th arrondissement of Paris – a dynamic office and business district in a prime location. Deka Immobilien’s comprehensive refurbishment of the Victoire and Châteaudun sections of this dated complex is a prime example of its forward-looking approach to asset management.

Opéra-Victoire is a great example of our strategy of combining historical values with forward-looking ESG measures. With this approach, we are creating sustainable and unique working environments in prime locations.

Environmental and social aspects were consistently integrated into the planning, while the historic Haussmann architecture was preserved. In line with Deka Immobilien’s commitment to sustainability, the office complex has been upgraded to a new technical and energy standard, and the rental space has been significantly enhanced with high-quality fittings and modern workspaces.

Measures at a glance

  • Comprehensive modernisation of the building technology

  • Installation of energy-efficient LED lighting

  • Implementation of photovoltaic systems for sustainable energy generation

  • Expansion of the building control system to incorporate smart data technology (MeteoViva Climate) with a weather forecast-based control module

  • Energy optimisation of the roof and glass façade (Victoire)

  • High-quality redesign of the entrance halls

  • Redesign of the communal areas as flexible co-working zones, both indoors and outdoors, through the conversion of the roof terraces and gardens, which reflect the character of a five-star hotel.

The results: highest standards and future-proof working environments

Deka Immobilien has transformed the landmark Opéra-Victoire building into a modern, future-proof building and successfully placed it on the market. 

Now work is complete, the buildings fulfil the latest technical and environmental standards. Thanks to energy-efficient refurbishments, photovoltaic systems installed in the renovated parts of the building, and the use of smart data technology, the energy consumption of the building complex has been reduced:

  • By around 30% compared with 2019 and as much as 44% when compared with 2013.
  • Carbon emissions have also been reduced – by 30% compared with 2019.

The redesign of the floor plans has created modern working environments that offer a significant improvement in tenant comfort. Flexible floor layouts, open-plan concepts and high-quality fittings provide the ideal conditions for a wide range of use scenarios. The high-quality equipment found in the coworking spaces also sets new market standards.
