The RIVP’s DDGIE (Direction du Développement et de la Gestion Immobilière pour les Entreprises– ‘Directorate for the Management of Corporate Real Estate’)

The RIVP’s DDGIE, which is in charge of the development and management of corporate real estate, was founded in May 2014. It aims to foster the establishment and the development of innovating startups in the capital. All told, more than 688 units of offices, incubators, business centers, business premises and professional workshops are managed by the DDGIE, with a combined floor area of 120,634sqm. Providing startup support and other exclusive services at affordable prices is part of the DDGIE’s core responsibilities.

The City of Paris

This project benefits from the active support of the City of Paris, which is fully committed to the development of the Réfectoire des Cordeliers and to the preservation of the historic heritage of Paris.

The RIVP also has the support of Jean-Pierre Lecoq, the mayor of the 6th arrondissement, who is delighted by “this renovation implemented by the RIVP” and its partners.

Involvement of the State through the Caisse des dépôts et consignations (‘Deposits and Consignments Fund’)

Created in 1816, the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations is a public institution whose objective is to invest in projects that serve the public interest and the country’s economic development. These investments are made to enable the completion of long-term projects, and thus ensure the development of innovation and of sustainable growth. The development of territories, the patronage of cultural initiatives and the financing of social housing are part of the core missions of the CDD, which intends to fulfill the needs that the market alone cannot meet.
