Challenges Upgrade workshops to accommodate new metro line 12 rolling stock; Create a new Paris neighbourhood that combines industrial activity, housing and public facilities; Promote biodiversity and vitalise the region through local businesses. Key figures 10,000m² of greenery across the entire project 700m² devoted to urban agriculture 284 housing units, 54% of which are set to be social housing units Advantages The development of the site was designed to minimise various forms of pollution that may be generated by construction works. The layout also optimises building energy efficiency and adds greenery in the form of green roofs and hanging gardens above workshops, balconies and equipped terraces. “When we reorganised our industrial activities, we turned an industrial need into an urban project that provides a window to the city.” Céline Tignol RATP GROUP DIRECTOR, REAL ESTATE STRATEGY The project From 1910, the 2.3-hectare Vaugirard railway workshops had been the site of metro line 12 maintenance operations. When RATP Group began upgrading its production tools and redeveloping its industrial sites in Paris, the Group also decided to turn the project into an example of urban diversity, by creating a new neighbourhood at the heart of the city. By 2029, Ateliers Vaugirard will offer mixed-use urban real estate programmes that combine an industrial site with housing units, public facilities and green areas. A total of 285 housing units will be built, 54% of which will be devoted to social housing. These units will be surrounded by public facilities for young children, local businesses, a new pedestrian lane and green roofing, which will create a cool spot that will benefit the entire neighbourhood. Project timeline The Ateliers Vaugirard workshops development project will proceed in two phases: The first phase began in 2016 with preparatory works to restructure the site. It also included the construction of an equipment maintenance workshop (EMW), 3 social and private housing programmes (plots A, B and C), local businesses and childcare facilities for the City of Paris, with a new lane running through the new buildings. The second phase, which was launched in 2022, involves the restructuring of the metro line 12 train maintenance workshop (TMW). This phase includes the construction of approximately 50 social housing units (plot D), in line with the partnership agreement with the City of Paris, which aims to build 2,000 housing units by 2026. Completion is scheduled for 2027.
