Consolidating the accounts of these agencies (which are now EPADESA) reveals a sharply increasing 2010 performance that resulted in a positive balance of 5.361 million euros. The Board also approved the signing of a “GAIA” comprehensive financing convention with the CDC (Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations). Specially designed for leaseback arrangements, loans underwritten on the basis of this convention will allow EPADESA to acquire the land necessary for future urban operations, especially in the Groues and the Bords de Seine urban development zones (ZADs, zone d’aménagement différé). In return, EPADESA has promised to dedicate at least 25% of the residential real estate in these areas to social housing. district of Hoche in Nanterre, calls for the construction of 122 homes designed by architects Combarel and Marrec. Finally, a sales agreement with the city of Puteaux for the “Charcot” lots will lead to the creation of a residential district designed by architect Xavier Bohl. This operation is expected to give Puteaux 2,000 new homes. preliminary sales agreements The Board also approved the steps EPADESA is taking to create an Agenda 21 and the work done to obtain ISO 14001 certification, namely implementing an Environmental Management System. sales Several sales agreements were approved after the Board meeting, including one with SCI Arc Promotion for the lot at Terrasse 10 in Nanterre.

Designed by Jean-Paul Viguier, this first phase will result in 23,000 square metres of office space, 19,000 square metres of homes, and 5,000 square metres of shops. k learn more at A study of the geothermal potential of la Défense seine Arche Defining the geothermal potential of La Défense Seine Arche is a major issue that will enable us to consume more efficiently and better manage energy throughout the territory. While the project originated with the La Défense Renewal Plan, it was also present in various Seine Arche planning projects, which led EPADESA to look for alternatives to polluting energies. The results included the construction of a wood boiler in the Hoche eco-district of Nanterre, for example. Geothermal energy is another angle to consider. As it is limited, this source of energy still needs to be studied at the regional level before any installations take place. EPADESA therefore wanted specific information on the geothermal potential of the area included in the national interest operation of La Défense Seine Arche. Hence, it could provide operators with concrete data. EPADESA therefore launched a jointly funded study, entrusting it to the Bureau of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM, Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières) with the support of ADEME. The results of this study will help EPADESA encourage investors seeking to renovate or build to use this cleaner form of energy. k learn more at http://www.ladefense-seine-arche.fr/toutes-les-actualites/detail/hash/f8870ce1d858ee36013fae9249b0951b/article/conseil-dadministration-10-juin-2011.html http://www.ladefense-seine-arche.fr/toutes-les-actualites/detail/hash/36efb7b03dec67637916243003db3168/article/lepadesa-et-le-brgm-lancent-une-etude-sur-le-potentiel-geothermique-du-territoire-de-la-defense-sei.html
