Lyon is one of the top six cities in Western Europe for real estate investment* and is the most attractive city in France according to the list published by L’Entreprise magazine. 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 in the Lyon real estate situation. In 2009, €455 million was invested in corporate real estate. In addition, active oversight policies for major urban projects ensure that prospects for the future are reassuring.
With the Master plan for economic development managed by Greater Lyon, companies benefit from a proximity-oriented approach to help provide individualized location solutions according to their real needs in order to:
• provide a land and real estate solution suited to their needs
• develop quality services
• 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.

The Lyon urban area continues to attract investors in the corporate real estate market with a varied and quality offering of premises in line with requirements.
An AttrActive urbAn AreA Despite the difficult economic condi-tions, Lyon confirmed its position in the 2009 version of Cushman & Wakeman’s annual rankings. Lyon is the 19th most attractive European city, thanks to the carefully-managed range of new real estate that it offers (transparency and phasing, diverse users, competitive rental costs). Lyon’s reputation for corporate real estate is growing. Lyon is also ranked 12th in terms of environmental quality (up four places between 2008 and 2009).
Furthermore, 39% of company directors believe that Lyon is a good place to do business (ahead of Manchester, Hamburg and Birmingham), with Marseille and Lille achieving a score of just 14%.
A resistAnt, diverse mArketLyon has stood up to the economic climate thanks to a healthy rather than speculati-ve market, and high-quality projects that meet the needs of businesses. In propor-tional terms, Lyon’s economy has suffered less than the economies of other cities.
In 2009, €455 million was invested in Lyon, 83% of which was in service-sector real estate (53% in 2008), 8% in business premises (16% in 2008), 6% in logistics (31% in 2008) and 3% in retail. A number of major transactions in late 2009 demons-trated that Lyon remains an attractive city for investors, on a European scale. One quarter of the total investment came from German investors.
IN 2009, 50 % OF THE AMOUNT INVESTED IN THE LYON
URBAN AREA WAS OF FOREIGN ORIGIN.

As the second concentration of decision-making centers and the second service-sector hub in France after Paris, the Lyon urban area offers almost 4.6 million m2 of offices, and ample opportunities for industrial and logistics businesses.
office spAce on the increAseService industry activities are an impor-tant axis of Lyon’s economic develop-ment, 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 4.6 million m2 of offices, and the stock continues to grow. Along with Part-Dieu, the main business district that will be enhanced by high-rise buildings (the Oxygène tower, 39,000 m2 including 28,000 m2 of offices delivered in May 2010, and the Incity tower, 40,000 m2 delivered in 2013), other additional large-scale service centers are in the pipeline: Confluence (delivery of the Eiffage head offices - 15,600 m2 - in 2009, the region premises - 40,000 m2 - in 2010 and the Monolithe - 14,300 m2 - in 2010), the Carré de Soie (Touly block consultation - 11,000 m2 - launched in 2010), Vaise (delivery of the APICIL head office - 19,000 m2 - in 2009, and the second phase of the Docksite - 5,300 m2 - in 2010) and Gerland (delivery of the second phase of the Quatuor and Gerland Plaza - 14,700 m2 - in 2010). As a result of this «multipolarization» in the service sector and the implementation of real estate projects that meet business needs (high-quality real estate projects that are energy-efficient and accessible by public transport), service-sector activi-ties in the city center remained strong in 2009.
A mArket thAt is solid...Although down on 2008 (a 30% fall in net floor space allocated), the market in Lyon remained solid in 2009 when compared with other urban areas (Amsterdam: -32%, Barcelona: -44%, Paris: -24%). In total, 164,000 m2 of net floor space were alloca-ted to users (53% of which was in new buil-dings) and nominal rental rates remained stable at e230 to e250 per m2 (excluding tax), compared with a significant fall in rates in both Barcelona and Paris. The 2009 figures reflect a slow-down in activi-ty and a reduction in the average transac-tion size, but they also 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 areas include Part-Dieu - Lyon 6th (19% of allocated floor space), Confluence (18% of allocated floor space) and more than one third of total allocated floor space at the following sites: Villeurbanne - Carré de Soie, Vaise, the Western Economic Cluster and Gerland. Overall, 9% of all transactions were over 3,000 m2, accoun-ting for 38% of total allocated demand (Cooperation and Ethical Finance Cluster - 9,000 m2 at the Carré de Soie, GDF Suez -
8,339 m2 at Confluence, ADAPT - 5,200 m2
at Gerland, Ernst and Young - 4,319 m2 at Part Dieu). Transactions between 1,000 m2 and 3,000 m2 accounted for 21% of total transactions and 38% of allocated floor space. Total new-build stock availa-bility after six months is 171,000 m2 net floor space (including 100,000 m2 in Lyon city center) and second-hand availability is 220,000 m2 (including 148,000 m2 in Lyon city center). Sites under construction account for 185,850 m2 net floor space, 62% of which is already for sale.
... And AttrActiveTo go for Lyon rather than Paris is to choose to make potential savings of over e1.3 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: e230 to e250 per m2 for high-end office real estate versus e710 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 compa-nies and managements that are consoli-dating and rationalizing their real estate property.

heQ reAl estAte: An obvious reQuirementWith a standards level unique in France, the official standards reference docu-ments for “Offices” established by Greater Lyon sets goals that go beyond the HEQ approach (standard rT 2010). Because very high environmental quality is essential to employee comfort and productivity, since January 1, 2007 a set of official stan-dards has been applied to all new service-sector construction built on land under public control. Developed and maintained by the Local Energy Agency, it is attached to the specifications for construction bidders.
broAdbAnd for All business-hosting sites Today, 97.3% 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 attrac-tive pricing. Tomorrow’s challenge for the region is therefore to develop a competi-tive high speed internet offering for all businesses in the urban area.

relY on qUaliTYWith 640,000m2 of high-performance industrial and logistics premises sold, the Lyon urban area has confirmed its status as a major economic center at the service of a major industrial area.
QuAlity industriAl premisesWith 276,000 m2 placed in 2009 with trading, manufacturing and construction companies, the volume of the industrial real estate sector is standing firm at the same level as 2008 (293,000 m2 placed). The proportion of sales to users is high, accounting for 44% of total surface area. These transactions mostly took place in Eastern Greater Lyon. In total, 21% was placed in new construction, a relatively
stable portion compared with previous years. Transactions between 1,000 m2 and 3,000 m2 accounted for 21% of total tran-sactions and 38% of allocated floor space. Total immediate availability is 430,000 m2 net floor space, more than 50% of which is located on the urban area’s eastern frin-ges. New products feature major quality improvements, from the architectural and the environmental standpoints in business parks.
growth in logistics spAceFollowing an exceptional year in 2008 (430,000 m2 placed), the logistics premi-ses market remained strong in 2009, with 364,000 m2 placed. In total, 67% of all surface area was rented, and 56% placed in new constructions. This demonstrates the importance of having flexible quality products. It should be noted that transac-tions of more than 20,000 m2 account for 57% of floor space placed. Two thirds of firms are positioning themselves on
premises in the outer suburbs, on the Plaine de l’Ain, north of Lyon, and in northern Isère.Total instant availability is now more than 450,000 m2. rental values are between e43 and e46 per m2 per year (excluding tax). These prospects will help Lyon to confirm its role as a major logistics hub for the north/south-east backbone of France (Lille-Paris-Lyon-Marseille) in 2010.

the development of pArt-dieu continuesCurrently, Part-Dieu includes 850,000 m2 of offices, along with the central econo-mic and strategic operations for the urban area: local and national govern-ment, headquarters for regional banking institutions, insurance companies, major corporations, and major consulting and engineering firms. This foundation gives confidence to investors. The year 2010 will see a number of important deliveries, inclu-ding the Oxygène Tower in May (28,000 m2), the Carat building (14,500 m2) built by Icade and purchased by Générali, and the Open 6 building, designed by uTEI. Constructing buildings of exceptionally high environmental and architectural quality, upgrading public spaces and major road infrastructures (such as rue Garibaldi), new business services and hotel development: these are Part-Dieu’s goals for 2020.
pArt-dieu gAins stAtureThe famous «pencil,» the symbol of the city overlooking the urban area, is now challenged by the Oxygène Tower. The tower is located opposite the TGV station, next to the retail center, and was built by Sogelym Steiner, offering 28,000 m2 of office space and 11,040 m2 of retail space. In 2013, the Incity Tower (40,000 m2 net floor space) will dominate the Lyon skyline, standing at 200 meters tall.
At the heart of the Lyon urban area, designed around the TGV station and its direct connections with Paris and Europe, Part-Dieu is now the second service-sector cluster and the second decision-making center in France: close to 2,200 companies are located here, employing some 40,000 employees, and 114,000 passengers pass through the TGV station each day. Part-Dieu is a well-connected business district where the service-sector economy is in full swing and which provides new opportunities...

All the benefits of A multimodAl plAtform At the heArt of the urbAn AreAAs a multimodal platform, the district includes a TGV train station, which provi-des direct and fast connections to Paris, Marseille or Europe daily, and a full range of public transport services (metro, T1 tram, 11 bus routes, Vélo’v stations, taxis, bus station, vehicle rental firms and more than 7,000 public parking spaces). With its tram and metro connections, the district has excellent links to the economic clusters to the east (Villeurbanne, Carré de Soie, Vaulx-en-Velin and Meyzieu) and south (Gerland) of Lyon. Part-Dieu is also a major interchange at the heart of Lyon’s Integrated Transport Network (rEAL, the Lyon rEr). In summer 2010, a new tram line will be completed, rhônexpress, linking Part-Dieu to Lyon-Saint Exupéry International Airport in less than 30 minutes.
unrivAlled vAlue for moneyThe requalification of public spaces and densification through the construction of new office facilities is attractive to businesses, who are taking advantage of this situation. Many banks and insurance companies (the regional offices of the Caisse d’Epargne, Dexia, BNP Paribas and Société Générale), consulting firms (Ernst & Young, Oracle, Alliance Advertising, etc.) and the administrative headquar-ters of major companies (EDF regional headquarters, rhodia Services Worldwide Purchasing Management, rhodia Polyamides, rhodia Silica and rhodia Silicones, Framatome headquarters and r&D site) have chosen Part-Dieu, espe-cially as the selection of former and new offices offers excellent value for money. Rentals costs are between e230 excl. tax and e250 excl. tax/m2/year for a new office, compared with e710 excl. tax/m2/year in Paris.
mAny relocAtion opportunities to be seizedThe district’s dynamism continues to grow, and new projects continue to emerge from 2010, particularly in the northern sector of the district:• In 2010, the Oxygène Tower will offer
28,000 m2 of office space; Grand Lyon Habitat is developing 9,000 m2 of net floor space, including 6,000 m2 of office space.
• In 2012, La Buire mixed development zone will offer 28,000 m2 of office space in the Velum building.
• By late 2012, in the Brotteaux district, the Lugdunum building, currently under renovation, will offer 20,000 m2 that can be used as offices.
• In 2013, the Incity Tower will provide 40,000 m2 of offices.

INTERVIEW
What are the links between Egis and Lyon?Historically, Egis has been based in Lyon since the late 60s, particularly through SEMALY, which has since become Egis rail. Our Lyon location is the second largest in the group, with 700 employees. In Lyon, we generate several hundred million euros in turnover, largely through export or through major national projects. In fact, we have 6 companies in Lyon, now scattered over 4 different sites in the urban area. Our presence in the Le Carat building in the Part-Dieu district is aimed at bringing them together and plan-ning our growth (+10% per year).
Your base in Lyon is growing rapidly...Yes. This is related to the contracts we are working on, and also to the promising environment. We are a value-added company, and, it’s true, we don’t have much difficulty in attracting and convincing employees, mainly managers, to come to Lyon: the facilities, the real estate and cultural possibilities, and the quality of life make Lyon without a doubt one of the most attractive cities in France. Our recent alliance with the IOSIS group, which also has a strong presence in Lyon with 150 employees, further strengthens this dynamic.
Why choose Part-Dieu?In the heart of the urban area, Part-Dieu offers the best possible connections to other areas: all points of the urban area are easily accessible, as well as the major destinations in France and abroad via the TGV station and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport. With rhônexpress, which we are involved in, it will be even simpler and faster to get there.
Could you tell us more about the relocation project that you are in charge of?The Le Carat building is at the heart of Part-Dieu. It meets our needs in terms of size. We are renting 13,000 m2 of the 14,000 m2 available from GENErALI, who have invested in the property, and with whom we have a contract. The solutions offered fully meet our expectations: Le Carat is a HEQ building deve-loped by ICADE, where the lighting, ventilation, heating and insulation have been specially optimi-zed. Nowadays, not only is it economic necessity, but beyond that, this environmental approach resonates with the nature of our businesses and the way we run them.

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 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, Confluence is sure to be become a new, prestigious location in Lyon.
A multimodAl site Along the sAôneServed by the A7 highway and the Perrache TGV station, connected to the metro network, and crossed by a tram line which, by 2014, will be extended to run along the other side of the rhône to the Gerland scientific district, passing close to the future Confluence Museum, the Confluence district will benefit from a new rail stop at its center. In addition to exceptional public transportation services, this site enjoys an incomparable natural environment: around 3 miles of quays, long walkways along the river, and an uninterrupted view of the lush terrain on the right bank of the Saône.
decision-mAkers And investors Are flocking to confluenceAdvertising agencies and the Le Progrès newspaper group already have offices in the former port of rambaud. In 2009, they were joined by employees from the Eiffage group, Erai and the famous restau-rant owner Nicolas Le Bec. In 2010, these will be followed by other companies and institutions (région rhône-Alpes, Espace Groupe, Cardinal and GDF-Suez). In total more than 5,000 new employees will move to the Confluence district by the end of 2010.
Facing the future unibail-rodamco recreation and shopping center, mixed-use buildings (650 housing units, 15,000 m2 of offices, 3,000 m2 of ground-floor shops and businesses) are currently being delivered (October 2009-July 2010). These blocks are winners of the European Concerto Program award for their envi-ronmental quality, and were created by 12 teams of renowned architects for the developers Nexity Apollonia, Bouwfonds-Marignan Immobilier and Ing-real Estate-Atemi. Further north, near the Perrache railway station, a first office building, the Timesquare, has already been delive-red at Place des Archives. A second office building will open in early 2010. Located on the Saône side, this first phase repre-sents almost 40% of the planned overall construction, a total of 400,000 m2 net floor space. Investment today amounts to €1.15 billion, of which 64% is held by private investors. And this is just the beginning.
An eventuAl one million m2 projectOn the rhône side, the departure of the wholesale market in January 2009 freed up new land and opened new prospects for the development of the Confluence district. This second phase of the project, designed by Swiss architects and urban planners Herzog & de Meuron, makes provision for the creation in the coming years of a mixed downtown neighbo-rhood, combining offices, housing, shops, and local public facilities. As the gate to southern Lyon, more than 45 % of the overall surface area of 350,000 m2 will be dedicated to the service sector. The project will involve extending the city center with a dense northern district, where the old buildings will be preserved. To the south, the Champ de la Confluence will be a greener area dedicated to innova-tive activities. New bridges and walkways will be installed to facilitate access to this exceptional area. This last piece of the puzzle will apply the finishing touches to this vast urban project. The initial consul-tation phase is planned for 2012.Finally, close to the Perrache TGV station, the transfer of prisons from Lyon’s suburbs (2009), combined with the conversion of several buildings, has opened the way to converting this 19th-century district and creating more than 100,000 m2 of servi-ce-sector space around Place des Archives. A feasibility study is also underway into the possibility of converting the entire district using eco-renovation.

Why did you choose to locate the Eiffage Centre Est regional headquarters in Confluence?Our aim is to create and encourage syner-gies between the different sectors within the Eiffage Group by bringing together the various regional departments in the same headquarters. We wanted this place to be a flagship “sustainable development” site for our group, acting as a technological labora-tory and a skills hub. The Confluence mixed development zone, a district of central Lyon located at the confluence of the two rivers, and the associated Concerto-renaissance project, were therefore the ideal location for the Hélianthe building.
INTERVIEW
hervé DuchampEIFFAGE IMMOBILIER, DIRECTOR OF ThE hELIAnThE & EOLIS PROJECT
As a key player in the real estate sector, what is your opinion of the Confluence project, beyond your view as a “user”?Confluence is a highly ambitious project, but one that is meeting its objectives! It will offer an excellent living and working environment, with genuine diversity.Although vehicle access is delibera-tely restricted, our company’s internal Transport Plan provides our staff members with practical solutions to this issue.
For Hélianthe, we have also introduced “Chlorophylle”, our company restaurant, reducing the number of car journeys at lunchtime by 60%.It’s a great project, creating a district that will be a superb place to live. Everyone involved deserves to be congratulated. In many ways, Confluence is a major step towards creating the city of the future.
Tell us about the “hélianthe” building… This project represents a major break with traditional service-sector building design and construction techniques. We wanted to illustrate the expertise of our compa-nies by using innovative techniques. We also wanted to combine the efforts of our design department and the engineering team, under the supervision of the archi-tect Albert Constantin, from the outset.Hélianthe’s bioclimatic design was carefully calculated to ensure minimal environmental impact and maximum comfort and energy efficiency. Whereas a traditional service-sector building consu-mes an average of 180 kW per m2 per year, Hélianthe is expected to consume just 18 kW per m2 per year!As a developer and builder, Eiffage of course wanted to provide the very best solution for Eiffage as a user.Since September 2009, 380 people have been enjoying the benefits of this NF HEQ building and have been learning to act as eco-citizens in their offices.

With a commercial and leisure hub, housing and office space between city and nature in an area of 1,200 acres near the city center, Carré de Soie thinks big. At the link between the innermost core of the urban area and its major areas of development to the east, Carré de Soie is one of the flagship projects of the urban area, destined to become a services center in support of the one at Part-Dieu by 2020.
A concept in vogueTo the east of Lyon, in Villeurbanne and Vaulx-en-Velin, 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. It will highlight these landscaping assets in order to develop the concept of an «inhabited park», offering a new way of living for future residents. As of 2011, connecting routes designed for green modes of transportation (cycling and pedestrian) along the canal will link the neighborhood to the city center.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. In 2010, when the rhônexpress comes into service, Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport will be just 15 minutes away. Connected to the ring road and the highways leading to Paris, Marseille, and Geneva, in 2013 Carré de Soie will benefit from the opening of the Eastern urban Boulevard.
A europe-wide service sector hub for 2015-2030Some institutions are already planning their move to Carré de Soie. By 2030, more than 500,000 m2 of additional office space will be available at Carré de Soie. The high architectural and environmental quality aimed at for the buildings on this site will make it an ideal location for companies wishing to ensure high visibility. Carré de Soie will provide a favorable environment and attractive work setting, with company day care centers, restaurants, personal services, fitness clubs, etc.
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 with a total of 15 theaters, 50 shops and restaurants, and 8 supermarkets. As an extension of this park, the new racecourse hosts educatio-nal and leisure activities (pony club, urban board sports center, aquatic environment discovery center, etc.). The installation of this flagship facility was accompanied by the launch of the first public trans-port cluster programs. Construction work on the cooperation and ethical finance cluster has already begun. This project involves creating a service-sector space of 12,500 m2, dedicated to ethical finance, social housing, engineering and consul-tancy companies. The first housing programs have also been launched (Bouwfonds Marignan and rhône Saône Habitat). Further service-sector operations are planned after 2011, including a building with a surface area of 12,000 m2.lYon weaveS iTS FUTUre

TeChnologY park
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).
superb locAtion And AccessibilityLocated 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 remai-ning, by Lazard Groupe and Bouygues Immobilier, offering 25,000 m2 for rental or purchase.
A high level of services for exceptionAl working conditionsThe Technology Park has a living and services cluster to make life easier for employees and businesses. It includes a reception and information center, a restaurant center with an inter-company restaurant (maximum capacity of 1,100 people per day), a snack bar, a VIP club, a 1,300 m2 business hub (information center, day care center, business center, meeting rooms), a medical and social center, a concierge service, etc. The Park includes a day care center in the «Woodstock» buil-ding and by 2011, there will be a three-star hotel with approximately 134 rooms built in compliance with sustainable deve-lopment standards, to complement the already rich range of services. It is suppor-ted and developed by a business federa-tion that includes nearly 85% of the site’s occupants.A second hub service, the Woodclub, will open in April 2011, further adding to the Park’s range of services..

Do you know where the second largest district in the Lyon urban area for service-sector employment is? Around 7 miles north-west of Lyon… A number of companies were quickly lured by the residential potential and the quality of the work environment offered by the green showcase of the Western Lyon Economic Cluster.
AlwAys more Accessible The A6 and A46N highways and the northern section of the Lyon ring road provide the Western Economic Cluster with quality accessibility. It has recently been improved by the creation of a half interchange on the A6 called “TECHLID – Economic Cluster” dedicated to serving the business parks. Furthermore, the implementation of the Lyon Integrated Transport Network (rEAL) project from december 2009 will improve rail connec-tions and public transport services.
2010: mArketing lAunch of bruyeres pArkThis park will strengthen the area’s servi-ce-sector activity, with 36,200 m2 net floor space of offices, 45,800 m2 net floor space of mixed service/activity-sector space and a services cluster. In a quality landscaping environment, the project is a really ambitious effort towards sustai-nable development that forms part of an Environmental Approach to urban Planning (AEu).
services thAt combine QuAlity And AvAilAbilityWhether via Edel West space, a one-stop shop for businesses that brings together all of their partners, or via TECHLID, a structure that provides Greater Lyon with the leadership, promotion and business development for the territories of the seven districts of the Western Econo-mic Cluster, employees and businesses receive a complete, high-quality range of services.On the business side, the signage, secu-rity and janitorial services, collection, human resources and even broadband telecommunications networks are set up locally. As far as employees are concerned, the supply of services is also of very high quality: inter-company day care center, concierge service, a car-sharing site, four occupational medicine centers, 22 hotels, four of which are three-star, 104 restau-rants and over 600 shops in the town centers or shopping malls nearby.

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 includes 600 companies, both 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. It is this vast range of stakeholders that gives this excellent sector its dynamism and richness.
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 for the development of the Lyonbiopôle and CLARA Cancer Center competitiveness clusters, encouraging exchange between industry, clinicians and academics, as well as the creation of the FInOVI Foundation for Innovation in Infectious Diseases. 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 the LyonBioAdvisor network, which combines the skills of institutional partners 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, in order to deliver a global services offer. 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 gerland Biopôle, a ConCenTraTion oF graY maTTer
Best known for its football stadium, Gerland is the primary center for scientific research in Lyon. As the epicenter of the LyonBiopôle global competitiveness cluster in Infectious Diseases and the advanced FInOVI research network (Infectious Diseases Innovation), the Gerland district has seen business leaders in human and animal health and research and higher education coexist with the Charles Mérieux Campus that aspires to become a major international campus focusing on scientific excellence open to business sectors.
gerlAnd: the virus of reseArchThe Gerland district welcomes compa-nies renowned in the field of Life Sciences: Sanofi Pasteur, Sanofi Pasteur MSD, Aguettant, Merial, Genzyme Polyclonal, etc. This environment has allowed start-ups and SMEs to develop (BASF Beauty Care solutions SAS, Episkin, Imaxio, Synbiotics, Genoway) near the research and education centers. Gerland is a renowned campus that includes the Écoles Normales Supérieures de Lyon, the université Claude Bernard, the Institute of Biology and Chemistry of Proteins, the P4 Laboratory and the ISArA. Since April 2009, the Lyonbiopôle Infectious Diseases Center (CI) has helped to strengthen the dynamic partnerships between public and private stakeholders in the infectious diseases sector. This collaborative r&D activity structure provi-des 1,920 m2 of P2 and P3 laboratories and shared facilities in the Domilyon building. The “acCInov” technology platform is also under development, which will expand the Infectious Diseases Center. Finally, the Lyon Functional Genomics Institute (IGFL) is currently under construction at the Chancellerie block. This building will open in 2011, housing 18 state-of-the-art research teams. This concentration of gray matter enjoys a great accessibility, with a direct connec-tion to the A7 and the ring road, and to the Part-Dieu business district TGV station via metro B. This accessibility has been further improved with the opening of a new regional railway station, Lyon Jean-Macé, in the north of the district.
These infrastructures will be the assets of the future, when a large area of land to the north of Gerland will be redevelo-ped – the future Nexans Girondins mixed development zone. This zone will include a new district with a high volume of servi-ce sector activities, just 7 minutes from Part-Dieu.
A bio-cluster growing in the heArt of the urbAn AreAThe bio-cluster continues to grow with a Lyon Techsud Business Park, built in the context of the Porte Ampère mixed deve-lopment zone (100,000 m2 of net service-sector floor space). Genzyme, the health-care biotechnologies company, has chosen to develop its new polyclonal antibody production site for patients with implants at Lyon Techsud. The first employees star-ted working there in December 2009. The production unit will be completed at the end of 2010. Eventually, almost 450 employees are expected on the site.The Lazard Promotion Group delivered two buildings at its business park at the end of 2009. The Gerland Plaza com-prises 5 buildings, with a total surface area of 14,697 m2 net floor space. Office and laboratory spaces are available from 250/300 m2. The program will be comple-ted in the first half of 2010.The second Lazard Group project at Lyon Techsud is the Gerland Technopark, comprising 9,665 m2 of office, laboratory and business net floor space. The first building, comprising 2,300 m2, will be delivered to TESSI (digital information processing company) in 2011.

The Lyon urban area aims to become a European reference in the clean technologies field in the coming years. This ambition is based on the region’s potential, including its industrial and scientific fabric represented by the Axelera, Lyon urban Truck & Bus, or Tenerrdis competitiveness clusters. The APPEL eco-companies network also acts as a source of professional resources and skills in the environmental sector. It is supported by Greater Lyon and is a major player in the development of clean technologies in the area, by matching supply with demand.
Greater Lyon offers a range of dedicated services for companies developing clean solutions. These services are designed to: • facilitate experimentation within the urban
area for innovative clean technologies developed by these companies
• promote innovation efforts, with other public partners, from project financing to incubators for start-up companies, or even financial engineering
• promote the skills of local companies• assist the proposed locating of clean
technology companies, by directing them to land and real estate solutions tailored to their needs, including the construction of custom-built products with real estate professionals.

ChemiCal valleY: SUSTainaBle Change To CleanTeCh
The cradle of French chemistry, Chemical Valley, is changing. Boosted by the development of the Axelera competitiveness cluster, many projects are emerging in the field of the environment in line with Greater Lyon’s desire and ambitions.
the revivAl of A historic region As the southern gateway to the urban area, Chemical Valley spans both banks of the rhone from the 7th district (Port Edouard Herriot) to Solaize. On over 2,000 acres, the area hosts a dozen establishments in the chemical-petrochemical, fuel and fuel gas industries representing more than 6,500 direct jobs. Six research centers for rhodia, Arkema, Bluestar Silicones, Total, the French Petroleum Institute and a joint rhodia/CNrS research unit dedicated to polymer composite materials complete the offering.
cleAntech, A strAtegic choice Faced with the important challenge of changing its industrial structure, the region in the last ten years has had to cope with focusing those involved in the chemistry sector on their priority markets. In this context, Greater Lyon, in its Master plan for economic development, has now identified Chemical Valley as a strategic region for the establishment of clean technology-related businesses.So the next few years will see the deve-lopment of the business activities that produce new materials and processes to meet the energy efficiency and envi-ronmental objectives displayed in the framework of the Lyon urban area develo-pment strategy.
sous-gournAy ecopole: At Greater Lyon’s initiative, a reception area for eco-businesses dedicated to waste processing, recycling and reco-very is being created on a 40-acre site. The development of the site will include an “eco responsible” urban approach based on the principles of sustainable development.In addition, the upcoming opening of a SITA WEEE hub for the treatment of waste from electrical and electronic

a SChool For SCienCe and innovaTion
By consolidating 40% of the scientific potential of Lyon, the LyonTech university site, the new name of the La Doua scientific campus, is an exceptionnal address in Lyon. It groups 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.
lyontech: the worldwide reference for cleAntechThe LyonTech campus is part of the two university sites in Lyon selected to parti-cipate 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 eco-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 innova-tive 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.
the center for innovAtive businessesIn 9,000 m2 of technically suitable office space, the center is host to small and large companies with innovative busi-ness activities in close contact with the research community, schools, universi-ties, and large companies. Its unique organization allows for the optimal use of all the resources availa-ble to businesses that want to succeed in the development of an innovative idea, or a new product or process, which bene-fit the university laboratories in order to promote the industrial application of their research. einstein, An incubAtor for tomorrow’s inventionsLocated close to LyonTech, Einstein offers 3,300 m2 of usable space dedicated to innovative biotechnology, information and communication technology and engineering businesses. The 1,000 m2 of incubator space, managed by Novacité, offers shared services and locations to start up businesses that grow out of the laboratories on campus. By late 2009, the building housed 21 companies and had an occupancy rate above 90%.

An AdvAntAgeous locAtionThe park is located between Techlid and the Vaise Digital Cluster, and is easily accessible (A6 highway, Téo, metro line D), situated in a favorable location at the western fringes of the urban area. The em2c Group is redeveloping the site with environmental concerns in mind (vegetation, bioclimatic design, local energy production, etc.). Greenopolis is a program that falls under the PrEBAT 2008 scheme, and is recognized by the région rhône-Alpes and Adème as a flagship example of low-energy-consumption construction.
developing business for the long termGreenopolis is a “citizens’ business park”, combining high-quality premises, inte-grated 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 elected representatives.
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 as well as a business village), with premises available to buy or to rent.

well served And An AttrActive locAtionWith a direct connection via the A46 to the entire highway network, the prime attraction of the proposed expansion of the Meyzieu-Jonage Industrial Zone is its accessibility: Lyon is 30 minutes away and Lyon-Saint Exupéry International Airport just 10 minutes away.In the very short term, the site will be an ideal location on the Paris-Marseille road via the connection to the A432, and the bypass east of Meyzieu will provide a showcase for businesses. The industrial zone will also benefit from strong public transport links, including the T3 tram (access to downtown Lyon in 30 minutes) and, as of summer 2010, the fast rhônexpress line will connect to Lyon in 20 minutes and Lyon-Saint Exupéry in 5 minutes.
A diversified supply in the heArt of A dynAmic industriAl networkThe existing Meyzieu-Jonage industrial zone houses nearly 200 companies on a site of around 500 acres, generating more than 5,000 jobs. Extending it over
an additional 250 acres will allow it to accommodate a wide variety of industrial, scientific and service-sector businesses. The land is divided into lots of 5,000 m2 to 15,000 m2, or into plots of several acres. Bouygues Immobilier will build a business park covering 13 acres. A mixed business park covering around 15 acres will be constructed by another operator. In 2010, a further consultation will take place for the creation of a reception and service area of around 12 acres, aimed at freight carriers. The industrial zone offers services to employees: inter-company restaurant, inter-company travel plan, health and social center, meeting room and soon a day care center and other services.
A commitment to plAnning undertAken for the environmentA landscaped environment of 37 acres hosts the technical facilities of the Industrial Park. It provides an open-air link (pedestrians/cyclists) between the north and south of the Meyzieu-Jonage industrial zone and in the direction of the T3/rhônexpress station.SErL (developer of the site) and Greater Lyon are working together to promote a new business concept through sustai-nable design of buildings, particularly by encouraging the use of natural resources and reducing energy consumption.

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. Linked from summer 2010 by direct Express tram to Lyon city center, Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is developing an ambitious real estate program, aiming to become a “City Airport” connected to the rest of the world.
A first clAss multimodAl plAtformBy road (A6, A7, A42, and A43 highway interchanges), rail (TGV) or air (120 destinations), the airport offers businesses opportunities for exchanges of people and goods that are 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, will increase in a short term the airport’s air travel capacity. The dedicated TGV station, linking the airport to the center of Paris in less than two hours, will be connected to the EuroCarex European express freight network by 2012.From summer 2010, the airport will be linked to Part-Dieu TGV station in less than 30 minutes by the «rhonexpress» express tram line. It will benefit from a connection to the Regional Express Trains and there will be simple, quick access to the Loire, Ain, Drôme, North of Provence and southern Burgundy regions of France. These connections will strengthen the sustainable development strategy, to which the site’s companies have adhered for the last decade.
A site for exchAnges where 5,300 employees workWith a wide range of shops, services and restaurants, the airport is also a place where the 5,500 managers and staff of 210 companies located on the site work. In addition to the inter-firm day care center, which opened in 2008, a medical center project will come into being. Lyon Saint-Exupéry is a great place to work!

An opportunity to convert reAl estAterental 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.).
A town with fiber!The Lyon urban area has an excellent fiber optics telecom infrastructure, parti-cularly 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 manage-ment specialists.
turnkey storAge spAceOnly 30 minutes from Lyon, the Plaine de l’Ain Industrial Park offers the oppor-tunity to construct turnkey data center campuses. This 2,220-acre park has alrea-dy been approached by global Internet leaders: it has cutting-edge telecom infrastructure with three possible entry points for fiber optics, a power supply with high-level security, and ground quality that will provide both safety and savings in construction. This industrial park is ISO 14001 certified and EMAS (Environmental Management Audit System) registered, is surrounded by 500 acres of green space, and has no less than 750 fully equipped acres still available.
since 2007 the exponentiAl growth of storAge needs hAs exceeded world-wide storAge cApAcity.forecast changes in storage solution needs
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.
