Avenue83 is part of the Altaprime portfolio, in which Allianz acquired a 49% interest in 2013. The portfolio has a total value exceeding 800 million euros and includes the assets Bercy Village, the Shops at Gare de l'Est, and Espaces Chanteraines in Gennevilliers. Altarea Cogedim is also the property manager. It was certified HQE and BREEAM - Level "Excellent."

A new generation shopping center
Avenue83 offers visitors the chance to explore its large open spaces that are conducive to conviviality, relaxation and recreation. Designed as an open air shopping street with its variety of vendors and activities, Avenue83 is a new generation shopping center. Both urban and environmentally conscious, the center puts vegetation at the heart of its spaces, with nearly 4000m² of natural space, aligning the design with the sentiments of modern visitors.
