Factor’Industry Real Estate: A Young Yet Established Company
Recently founded by Julien Mongoin and Louis d’Arexy, passionate about peri-urban real estate, Factor’Industry Real Estate (FIRE) has already completed nearly €300 million in investments on behalf of institutional clients. The independent company, specializing in industrial real estate and business parks, currently manages over €150 million in assets and has a total of over 350,000 m² of projects under development.
An Agile and Progress-Oriented Structure
With 30 years of combined experience with major players in peri-urban real estate, Julien Mongoin and Louis d’Arexy decided to combine their expertise to create FIRE, specializing in real estate development, planning, and investment with strong environmental and social value.
A structure that is "agile" and "progress-oriented", capable of anticipating, understanding, and meeting the expectations of users and institutional clients, at every stage of their real estate project. "The act of building sustainably is, above all, at the service of quality of life and regional development," emphasize the two founders.
"Our macroeconomic and prospective vision of regions allows us to approach sustainable development as a driver of performance, serving quality of life, progress, and innovation," states Julien Mongoin.
Proven Expertise for Complex Projects
A major asset highlighted by the founders is: FIRE's ability to identify high-potential sites and envision their long-term development. "Our leitmotif? To project ourselves into the long term by building the patrimonial and responsible value of our clients' projects with them," emphasizes Louis d’Arexy.
Its expertise in structuring operations enables it to execute complex transactions and guarantee both the value of assets and the interests of its clients.
A Comprehensive and Scalable Offering
Aware of the role of business parks and logistics in regional transformations, the founders design and develop scalable complexes capable of sustaining the local economic fabric and meeting the new productivity challenges of SMEs/SMIs. Whether it involves XXL platforms, cross-docking facilities, renovations of logistics parks, or high value-added investments, FIRE implements perfectly integrated projects.
Flagship Operations and Major Investments
In just a few months, the group has completed nearly €300 million in investments, manages over €150 million in assets, and already has over 350,000 m² of projects. Among them:
- A 100,000 m² logistics platform in Ablaincourt-Pressoir (80), in co-promotion with Stonehedge, equipped with an 8 MW photovoltaic power plant capable of supplying green electricity to several thousand households.
- A 15 ha mixed-use program in Senlis, in partnership with Montea.
- A 30,000 m² industrial building in Saint-Priest (69), also with Montea.
FIRE is also working on over 70 ha of land and industrial brownfields intended to accommodate, within 24 to 36 months, projects generating thousands of jobs.
A Landmark Operation with Nuveen Real Estate
Regarding investments, FIRE advised institutional clients on approximately €300 million in logistics and industrial assets, including Nuveen Real Estate for the off-market acquisition of two last-mile logistics portfolios for an amount exceeding €100 million, leased under long-term leases.
