The temporary occupation project led by Plateau Urbain welcomes more than 132 organisations from the associative, cultural, artistic, artisanal and social economy fields in a building made available by Axe Immobilier in Montreuil.

Since the end of February, 132 selected project leaders (see attached list) have been able to join the temporary occupation project in a 10,400 sq m building complex belonging to Axe Immobilier, following the call for applications launched by Plateau Urbain, supported by the EPT Est Ensemble and the City of Montreuil (93). Installed in the premises for a period of 13 months, in exchange for a usage fee of €16.5/sq m/month, they will be able to develop their activity and participate in a community project.

A temporary real estate project that meets a strong need for affordable workspace

The call for applications was aimed at organisations in Montreuil and the Greater Paris Region from the associative, cultural, artistic, craft and social economy fields, as well as at young companies, and nearly 200 applications were received. At this stage, 132 offices/workshops have found takers, including a large proportion of local residents (approximately 1/3 Montreuillois and 2/3 Parisians or Greater Paris Region residents).

A project that creates social connections

As soon as they moved in, the project leaders were invited to a first group meeting to get to know each other and share their aspirations for the future of this vast space, which is now theirs for the next twelve months. Numerous collaborative projects have already been initiated to develop the common spaces, set up a signage system, think about the name of the place and its visual identity, and also embellish the tree-lined courtyard and the grassy area thanks to urban agriculture workshops organised by the occupants, independently.
