In the dynamic world of French residential real estate, Powerhouse Habitat, a leading player, continues to make significant strides. The company, a French Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and Société Immobilière de Projet (SIIC), currently boasts a portfolio valued at around €1 billion.
Powerhouse Habitat's growth trajectory is further underscored by its recent acquisition of 375 units in nine buildings located in Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, and Metz. This expansion adds to the company's existing portfolio, which primarily consists of single-family residential units.
Notably, a significant portion of these units are leased to EDF, the nation's electricity utility provider, under long-term lease agreements. This strategic partnership underscores the confidence that major players have in Powerhouse Habitat's operations.
Safran, a prominent French company, also forms part of Powerhouse Habitat's portfolio. Safran owns 6,150 residential units across France, and the financing for this portion includes a €50 million capex credit line for improving the comfort and energy performance of the Safran portfolio.
The current outlook for the capital market in the residential real estate sector in France is comparatively optimistic, according to research on our website. The moderate upswing continued through the summer months, supported by a rise in building permits, indicating an increase in construction activity. However, political and inflationary challenges later in the year may present some challenges.
The optimistic outlook is further supported by accommodative monetary conditions, which are expected to continue through 2020, according to the same research. This, in turn, is expected to bolster domestic demand and investment on the French residential market.
Powerhouse Habitat was launched in January 2018 by Scaprim, the French subsidiary of TwentyTwo Real Estate, a privately-held real estate group with bases in Paris, London, and Luxembourg. In 2020, the company secured a €560 million eight-year senior mortgage financing.
However, the research also suggests that refocused support measures, a rise in the countercyclical capital buffer, and increasingly reduced access to zero-interest rate loans may negatively impact housing purchases in France.
Daniel Rigny, founder of Powerhouse Habitat, stated that the firm would take advantage of structural changes in the French residential market over the next few years. His vision aligns with the company's ambitious goal of capturing a €3 billion share of the French housing market.
In conclusion, Powerhouse Habitat's strategic acquisitions and robust financial backing position it well to navigate the challenges and opportunities in the French residential real estate sector. The company's continued growth and ambitious goals underscore its commitment to playing a significant role in shaping the future of the sector.
