15 April 2010 - New contracts - France

Investment company Midi 2i, a subsidiary of Caisse d’Épargne Midi-Pyrénées, has awarded Adim Sud-Ouest (VINCI Construction France) the property development contract for the Astria building in the Technocité business park in Bayonne (south-west France). The aim is that this complex, providing 4,166 sq. metres of service sector space, meet VHEP (very high energy performance) standards. The project, certified by the CreaHd (sustainable construction, resources, environment, development and habitat) division, should be able to provide real feedback and contribute to the design of Adim Sud-Ouest’s future operations. Project management is being provided by the joint venture formed by the existing health centre. Providing 200 beds, it will notably focus on nutritional medicine and diabetology, addictology and locomotive and neurological physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Worth €26.6m, the project is being undertaken on behalf of the Nîmes CHU (teaching hospital) as part of the Hospital 2012 programme.
