New in 2009: Constructeo and effective building solutions
The results of the Grenelle de L’Environment imply new construction standards, particularly in terms of energy consumption, for new and renovated buildings. The obsolescence of many currently available buildings means major restructuring work will be required so they can remain on the rental properties market.

The SIMI 2009 Awards, sponsored by Generali Immobilier, will be presented Thursday December 3rd from 5 to 6 pm.

Two development projects in the Seine-Saint-Denis have been nominated:
• In the New Building category: Mermoz, presented by CBRE Investors in Le Bourget (93)
• In the Renovated Building category: Tour 9 , presented by The Carlyle Group in Montreuil (93)
