53,000sqm Pointe des Arts de l'Île Seguin project, located on the Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt, in close vicinity to Paris is one of Ardian’s largest property investments to date.
The project is being co-developed with Emerige, a developer committed to urban transformation, and AOG, a private investment company.

A 22,000sqm mixed-use building with a cultural focus designed by Catalan firm RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker Prize 2017) and French agency CALQ Architecture

A 4-star hotel designed by the Austrian agency Baumschlager Eberle Architekten with about 230 rooms offering premium amenities in a prime environment for business and leisure customers

An office building also designed by RCR and CALQ offering 16,000sqm of prime office space
