Julien Mongoin and Louis d’Arexy, two experienced industrial real estate professionals, decided to combine their complementary profiles and expertise to create FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE, an independent company specializing in development, site development, and real estate investment with strong environmental and social value.
A company born from the meeting of two passionate real estate professionals
Julien Mongoin and Louis d’Arexy, with 30 years of combined experience with major players in peri-urban real estate, seasoned in investment, asset management, and the development of complex, high-value-added projects, decided to combine their complementary personalities and skills to provide real estate stakeholders with a global solution to the challenges of the coming decades.
Surrounded by a highly integrated close-knit team, they position FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE today as an agile structure, capable of anticipating, understanding, and meeting the expectations of its user and institutional clients at each stage of their real estate project, whether medium or long-term.
A DNA dedicated to sustainable, innovative, and human-centric real estate
Focused on progress, FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE is a company for whom the act of building sustainably with trust is primarily dedicated to improving quality of life and regional development.
Facing the climatic and societal challenges of the energy transition, FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE offers innovative and high-performing real estate strategies to conceive and build responsible and attractive real estate projects alongside regions, investors, and businesses.
All their actions are part of a long-term ecological and civic development plan. Whether it concerns the reduction of the environmental footprint of their buildings, modularity, or reversibility, the imperative of sustainability drives and guides their choices throughout the design, construction or renovation, and operation phases of their real estate projects. “Our macroeconomic and prospective vision of territories allows us to approach sustainable development as a vector of performance serving quality of life, progress, and innovation”, specifies Julien Mongoin, co-founder.
Like its leaders, the company FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE is imbued with a strong business development culture. Their strength and difference lie in their ability to identify high-potential sites and to envision their long-term development with a constant focus on quality: relational quality, location quality, material quality, quality of life…
A scope of expertise focused on two strong pillars: development and investment
Drawing on its knowledge of local economic landscapes and its technical expertise in prospecting, design, and site studies, FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE provides relevant and sustainable solutions to all its clients and regional partners with the constant aim of meeting the operational needs of the end-user as closely as possible. “Our leitmotif: to project ourselves long-term by building with our clients the patrimonial and responsible value of their real estate projects”, emphasizes Louis d’Arexy, co-founder.
In a context of high valuation in financial and real estate markets, its proven expertise in structuring operations also allows it to carry out complex transactions and to guarantee both the asset values over time and the interests of its clients.
FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE offers, as part of its property holding company activity, a complete, tailor-made, and differentiating service offering for investments in equity or on behalf of third parties, while respecting deadlines and cost control: club deal acquisitions of existing or to-be-transformed assets, advice and assistance for institutional investors, asset management and deleasing management.
Focused on the needs of businesses, FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE intends to fully participate in the support and development of French territories with a strong industrial dimension.
Aware of the key role of business parks and logistics in upcoming territorial changes, the company designs and develops evolving business parks capable of sustaining the local economic fabric and responding to the new challenges of location and productivity for SMEs/SMIs.
Similarly, whether it concerns the development of XXL platforms or courier services (local logistics), the renovation of logistics parks to meet sustainability challenges, or high-value-added investments in this key sector of economic recovery, FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE carries out avant-garde and perfectly integrated projects.
A fast-growing company with several major projects
Surrounded by experts representing the entire real estate chain, FACTOR’INDUSTRY REAL ESTATE has demonstrated its ability to generate rapid growth with a sustainable strategy. In two years, the company has completed nearly €300M in investments on behalf of investors, manages over €150M in assets, and already has over 350,000 m² of projects under development, including:
- The development of a 100,000 m² logistics platform in Ablaincourt-Pressoir (Terres de Picardie), equipped with an 8 MW photovoltaic power plant supplying green electricity to several thousand households and certified BREEAM VERY GOOD at a minimum — a project carried out in co-promotion with Stone Hedge.
- The development of a mixed-use program of 15 hectares of land in Senlis in partnership with Montea: SME/SMI business park and logistics activity platform, a prime location between urban and rural areas for the comfort and quality of life of users.
- The design and development (with Montea) of an industrial building of ~30,000 m² in Saint-Priest, in the heart of the Greater Lyon metropolitan area, intended for a company with productive activities creating numerous jobs; a building equipped with a photovoltaic power plant and a high-quality working environment, connected to road and highway networks and public transport.
FIRE is also working on over 70 hectares of land and/or industrial brownfields intended to host projects generating thousands of jobs within 24 to 36 months.
On the investment side (2021), FIRE advised institutional investors in the acquisition of logistics and industrial assets for approximately €300M, including Nuveen Real Estate for the off-market acquisition of two portfolios of last-mile logistics for an amount exceeding €100M, leased on the basis of long-term leases — operations that position them among the major investors in this segment in France.
