KanAm Grund Group secures full occupancy to single tenant on its latest redevelopment “35 Marbeuf” in the Golden Triangle of Paris
Following the successful repositioning and comprehensive modernization of the landmark building “35 Marbeuf”, the KanAm Grund Group has single let the Paris office property to a leading financial services firm on a long-term lease, at a prime rental level for the Paris CBD. The fully refurbished building offers approximately 2,800 square meters in the heart of the capital’s prestigious ‘Golden Triangle’.
Originally built in 1880 in the classic Haussmann style, the KanAm Grund Group acquired the property on behalf of a northern German pension fund manager on behalf of one of its specialized real estate funds. Over the past several years, the building has been transformed into a premium office asset that harmoniously combines historic charm, cutting-edge infrastructure, and sustainable design.
Repositioning that bridges heritage, technology, and sustainability
The project, realized in collaboration with the Paris-based architectural firm Studio Vincent Eschalier, preserves the building’s historic fabric while integrating state-of-the-art building systems and a forward-looking sustainability concept. The carefully restored property offers flexible office layouts across seven floors in a prime location within the so called ’Golden Triangle‘, just steps from Avenue des Champs Élysées, Avenue George V, and Avenue Montaigne.
Following the repositioning, “35 Marbeuf” meets the highest architectural, technical, and ESG standards and holds BREEAM “Very Good” and WiredScore ”Silver” certifications.
In addition to its exceptional location, the property features a modern, user-focused interior with spacious, light-filled work areas, a landscaped courtyard, generous communal spaces, and bicycle parking with shower facilities – creating a contemporary and inspiring workplace in the heart of the French capital.
On the ground floor, a social hub with a bar and café encourages interaction among users and supports a modern workplace culture.
Building on the success of projects such as “35 Marbeuf,” the KanAm Grund Group continues to pursue its strategy of realizing sustainable and value-stable real estate developments in key European metropolitan regions — thereby creating long-term value for institutional investors. The property exemplifies the successful balance between architectural heritage, contemporary sustainability, and functional excellence.
Local Expertise as a Key Success Factor
The KanAm Grund Group has maintained a dedicated office in Paris since 2005 – strategically located within the ‘Golden Triangle’. Through this local presence, the Group has executed real estate transactions totalling approximately EUR 10 billion and currently manages about EUR 800 million in investor funds in France. The Paris-based team possesses in-depth market knowledge, long-standing relationships with partners and local authorities, and extensive experience in executing complex development and asset management projects.
A Milestone in Sustainable Development
Anthony G. Bull Diamond, Managing Director and Head of Investment & Asset Management Europe at KanAm Grund Group, said: “Securing a single tenant on long term lease demonstrates the success of our development strategy and the enduring occupier demand for prime offices within Europe’s top-tier markets. With ”35 Marbeuf,” we have succeeded in carefully transforming a historic Parisian landmark into a modern market-leading workplace – one in true alignment with both sustainability and heritage preservation in the Paris CBD.”
