“Atelier Logistique” is the first logistics facility, with a surface area of over 16,000 m², located in the heart of Paris, on Avenue des Champs-Elysées. This innovative and unique intra-urban “Supply Chain Retail” solution, which aims to meet the “zero noise and zero emissions” objective, will open its doors at the end of 2025.

An “invisible” hyper-proximity logistics concept

Swiss Life Asset Managers France and Mont Thabor Capital Partners, in partnership with Everest Holding, are launching “L'Atelier Logistique Champs-Elysées”, a logistical revolution serving the retail sector on the world's most beautiful avenue. This is the first logistics hotel, with a surface area of over 16,000 m², located in the heart of Paris on the prestigious Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Atelier Logistique” is scheduled to open in late 2025.

“Atelier Logistique” is a wholly innovative “Supply Chain Retail” solution designed to meet the “zero noise and zero emissions” objective.

The new facility, which received its final building permit at the beginning of 2024, is a hyper-proximity urban logistics hub that is innovative, technological, flexible and totally “invisible” in its environment, as it is located entirely underground.

An innovative real estate product, “Atelier Logistique” offers a range of services to meet the proximity and goods flow needs of retailers who need to replenish their stocks - with a remote storage area located between 5 and 20 minutes from their points of sale.

A cutting-edge logistics solution

For optimum logistics efficiency, the “Atelier Logistique” will be equipped with the latest technological innovations:

  • AGV Robots (Automated Guided Vehicles) guided by intelligent sensors will reduce drudgery for operators and delivery personnel;
  • This guidance of AGV Robots and the site supply process will be assisted by Artificial Intelligence;
  • Together, these systems will enable massive unloading of goods in around twenty minutes.

Innovation and sustainability at the heart of the project

This logistics space is a non-polluting, noise-free solution for local residents: handling and loading operations will be carried out in a dedicated indoor area.

In anticipation of the 2030 Cape of Low Emission Zones (ZFE), deliveries will be made using clean, zero-emission vehicles with ©Certibruit certification, electric cargo bikes or on foot, saving 657,000 km of Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) traffic per year, or 476 tonnes of CO2 per year (Systra flow study). The entire fleet of low-carbon vehicles used for last-mile deliveries will be parked underground.

The project responds to the challenges of the Paris Climate Agreement, and fits perfectly within the regulatory framework of Paris' Plan Local d'Urbanisme Bioclimatique (PLUB), due to come into force in 2025. This new regulatory framework aims to respond to the contemporary challenges of sustainable urbanization, with an emphasis on reducing carbon footprints and promoting ecological and innovative building practices.

The Bioclimatic PLU has introduced several features to facilitate sustainable and efficient urban logistics, encouraging optimal use or even conversion of underground parking lots into urban logistics facilities.

A premium rest area dedicated to operators and delivery personnel will be designed on the first day, with a relaxation zone.

This unique logistics hotel reflects the vision of Swiss Life Asset Managers France. It also highlights the ability of our teams to bring together the right partners and the latest technologies to convert over 16,000 m2 of parking space on the world's most beautiful avenue into a low-carbon service hub, serving retailers and local residents alike. With 'Atelier Logistique', we are providing our customers with an ambitious and sustainable response to the challenges of the City of Tomorrow.
Fabrice Lombardo Head of Real Estate, Swiss Life Asset Managers France
Mont Thabor and its partners wanted to respond to a priority of city planning policies: to rehabilitate abandoned spaces initially dedicated to cars, such as parking lots, to provide a solution for the future of intra-urban logistics. Our concept incorporates a breakthrough technical innovation with 100% French technology, enabling goods to cross parking ramps mechanically and automatically, with the assistance of AI. “Atelier Logistique' will enable retailers and local residents to benefit from the same level of logistical efficiency in the heart of Paris as an XL logistics site on the outskirts.
Stéphane Bettini President, Mont Thabor
Faced with this ambitious and innovative project, Everest Holding SA was able to bring together partners who shared the same vision of the City of Tomorrow. We are delighted to have been able to bring together complementary real estate players to invest, invent, innovate and develop what can only be described as a revolutionary real estate project, right in the heart of Paris, on the prestigious avenue des Champs-Elysées.
Marc Zafrany President, Everest Holding
