New apartments Lyon

There are so many benefits to buying a new-build property as an investment or as your own home! As one of France's leading residential property developers, Bouygues Immobilier is here to help you with your plans to invest in new apartments in Lyon and the wider Rhône-Alpes region. You'll find all our new residential developments on the www.bouygues immobilier.com website.

Built at the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône, Lyon is France's central city with excellent links to every part of France and on into Europe. This strategic location has fuelled the expansion of the city ever since Roman times. Today, Lyon is France's second city and the Rhône-Alpes regional capital. Made up of greater Lyon and its 57 associated districts, the Lyon urban community is home to more than 1,250,000 people, making it the largest in France.

The country's second city is also its second-largest academic centre, with around 115,000 students attending its Claude Bernard (Lyon 1), Lumière (Lyon 2), Jean-Moulin (Lyon 3) and Faculté Catholique universities. With scientific and pharmaceutical research centres, as well as many high-technology industries, the city of Lyon also attracts many graduates, specialists and entrepreneurs.

As well as its credentials in education, research and business, Lyon is also a major cultural centre on a national scale. The many arts and cultural events hosted here every year include the famous Fête des Lumières, held to celebrate the fact that the city is the birthplace of cinematography, which was invented here by the Lumière brothers. Lyon is equally famous for its exceptional quality of life. The city boasts many public gardens and open spaces, including the Parc de la Tête d’Or, France's largest urban park.

Bouygues Immobilier offers an increasingly diverse and varied range of new homes in Lyon and the greater Lyon area. We have new developments in the towns to the north of Lyon, such as Villefranche, Caluire and Beynost, as well as to the west of the city in Craponne, Tassin, Charbonnières and Francheville. Other developments give you the opportunity to buy a new home in Vaulx-en-Velin, Saint-Priest, Villefranche-sur-Saône, Décines, Meyzieu, Bourgoin-Jallieu and La Tour-du-Pin.

In Lyon itself, Bouygues Immobilier can offer you new homes in the 3rd, 7th and 9th arrondissements of the city. In the 3rd, you will find our prestigious Crystal Gallery development, where handover is scheduled for the end of this year. This is one of the largest residential projects anywhere in Lyon. Five other major developers are also represented in the comprehensive development area (ZAC or Zone d’Aménagement Concerté) of Labuire, which is one of the final links in the city centre regeneration programme. Located to the south of La Part-Dieu, the city's prime business district, and close to the rail station and shopping mall, Labuire offers a welcome respite from the bustle of city life. This is an ideal place for property investors.
What's more, an enormous 5,000 m²park landscaped in Japanese style is planned for the Labuire ZAC. This fabulous facility will include children's play areas, as well as schools and childcare facilities.

Just a few hundred metres from the La Part-Dieu TGV station, you'll find our OnlyOne Lafayette development (handover scheduled for early 2010) in Lafayette, a sought-after residential area at the heart of the business district.

Many of our developments carry Habitat et Environnement certification awarded by CERQUAL, a subsidiary of the Qualitel organisation. This means that your new property is built using innovative materials that conserve energy resources and keep your energy bills low!
