Time for reinvention
The real estate industry is undergoing radical change across its entire value chain. Whether willingly or unwillingly. Over and above the economic crisis that the sector is going through - and it's a violent one - we can see that the business models that have flourished for several decades are being challenged. Challenged by the climate transition, which is forcing us to decarbonize our assets. Challenged by changing uses, which are reexamining the added value of office, retail and warehouse space. Challenged by the big bang of values, which are fracturing into "prime" assets that are being snapped up and others that are being abandoned. - September 10, 2025

September 1, 2025Hotel Les Roches anchors in Le Lavandou
Located on avenue des Trois-Dauphins in Le Lavandou (83), Hôtel Les Roches is linked to the town's seaside history and the golden legend of the Côte d'Azur. Set between sea and sky, this five-star establishment, which today boasts 40 keys, was founded in the 1930s, at a time when the Mediterranean resort boomed. Over the decades, the hotel has evolved. It was first enlarged in the 1950s, then extended in the 1980s. The site's identity was built through juxtaposition, combining white rendering, blue shutters, cut-out volumes and, above all, a strong presence of local Bormes-les-Mimosas stone. Over time, the site has gradually drifted away from contemporary standards of comfort and sophistication. In 2009, a French family-owned hotel group acquired the property and entrusted its renovation to the PietriArchitectes agency.
