In Besançon, GA Smart Building is building the new mixed industrial and tertiary sector complex for Grupo Antolin on behalf of Aktya

Aktya, the developer, is having a fully customised mixed industrial and tertiary building built for its tenant, the international automotive equipment manufacturer Grupo Antolin, under a CPI (Contrat Promotion Immobilier [Real Estate Development Contract]). The project aims to combine its four existing sites in the city into a single location and thus accommodate its French subsidiary’s 350 employees.

The 18,000 m² ground floor will house production (injection, assembly and electronics) and storage halls as well as a research and development laboratory. The second floor will house 4,000 m² of offices.

The property complex has significant environmental objectives. It will reflect the best standards and advances in the field and will be E3C1 level in the context of the Effinergie 2017 label, i.e. RT2012-20%. In addition, 2,500 m² of photovoltaic panels on the roof will provide energy production that Grupo Antolin will use for self-consumption.

A special emphasis is placed on the low-carbon concrete framework with architectural facade panels and washed gravel facing, combining the Group’s expertise while respecting the user’s and the developer’s wishes. In addition, offices will be equipped with air treatment modules and double frames with integrated blinds developed by GA Smart Building.

Work began in September 2021 for delivery in October 2022, with areas made available early in September 2022. This technical prowess is made possible thanks to GA Smart Building’s unique construction approach and the integration of the Group’s extensive skills, from FullBIM design for the tertiary portion to the prefabrication of structural and façade elements and comfort equipment in its French factories, right through to their assembly on site.
