Changes in habits and lifestyles have permanently transformed the real estate market. This is evidenced by the continued rise in shared housing and housing that can be easily adapted, digitalisation, the increasing focus on wellness, the growing use of hybrid spaces and mobile working. To face these challenges, Icade constantly expands its range of solutions. For example, Icade offers various eating areas, shared gardens, ride-sharing solutions and more in its business parks.
The Residential Property Development Division offers another example with its “At Home Naturally” solution. It was designed in partnership with architect Nicolas Laisné and is based on two main pillars. The first, “Building with Nature in Mind”, aims to make nature more central to housing design, both to enhance occupants’ wellbeing and help Icade meet its environmental commitments. The second, “Building Homes for Every Need”, embodies the commitments Icade made to provide housing solutions that suit its customers and find new ways to promote home ownership.
Lastly, Icade Santé is also strongly committed to ensuring quality care for the dependent elderly through the creation of a Quality of Life in Nursing Homes Charter. Similarly, Icade has designed an audit to analyse how healthcare facilities operate to help their operators improve the quality of patient care and the well-being of patients and caregivers.
