Real Estate · Building management
For more than sixty years and three generations, our family has managed high-end co-ownership buildings in west Paris. In France, every apartment building is run by a syndic, the professional manager appointed by the owners. Ours is hands-on management, designed for buildings where every decision affects both architectural heritage and each owner's investment.
What sets us apart
Haussmann and post-Haussmann buildings, Art Nouveau or Art Deco façades, townhouses divided into apartments, listed buildings or those near a historic monument: we manage co-ownerships that demand as much heritage expertise as legal rigor. A generalist manager handles units; we look after buildings.
I
More than sixty years of practice and an intimate knowledge of each building's history, past work and customs.
II
The owners' board works directly with an experienced manager who is available and empowered to decide.
III
Clear accounts, budgets under control and a long-term capital works plan.
Architectural standards
Façade cleaning required by Paris regulations, restoration of cut stone, carvings, balconies and railings, true to the original materials.
Lobbies, staircases, ironwork, stained glass, paneling and historic elevators: maintenance and restoration entrusted to master craftsmen.
Zinc, slate, dormer windows, chimney stacks: preventive maintenance to protect the building and its silhouette.
Enhancing the outdoor spaces and the features that give the address its character.
When the building is listed or in a protected heritage area, we coordinate with the heritage architect and the Architectes des Bâtiments de France ahead of every project.
Preparing permit applications in line with the Paris zoning plan and applicable requirements.
Legal framework
Notices, majority rules and minutes that comply with the French co-ownership law of July 10, 1965 and its implementing decree, so decisions are sound and carried out without delay.
Careful reading of older bylaws, updates to reflect changes in the law, and resolution of questions about the use of common and private areas.
Reviewing requests for work affecting common areas or the building's exterior, coordinating the general meeting's approval, permits and heritage requirements.
Multi-year works plan, building-wide energy performance assessment, reserve fund, elevator safety: anticipated and built into a long-term conservation strategy for the building.
Rigorous tracking of service charges, collection of arrears and handling of disputes, working with the co-ownership's attorneys.
