AESTHETICS, RESPECT
FOR PUBLIC SPACES
AND THE DIVERSITY
OF DISTRICTS
Because of its position, Cofinimmo is able to influence the
aesthetics and diversity of districts through its investment
and construction decisions, even if they are initially based on
economic considerations.
The company believes in the sustainable development of
cities where an urban balance must be considered. Offices,
residential buildings, shops and green spaces need to coexist
while single-purpose districts must be gradually phased out.
Through the conversion of some vacant office buildings, it
can, from the design phase, restore diversity in the neigh-
bourhoods (housing or nursing homes in office zones), thus
improving the attractiveness of its buildings (proximity to
schools, shops, places of relaxation) and reducing the flow of
home – work – commercial area traffic.
The architectural aesthetics of the buildings contribute to
the prestige of the residents who live there and to the brand
image of the companies that operate there. Cofinimmo
wishes to contribute to the beauty and harmony of the city
by promoting the construction of emblematic buildings, real
points of reference that contribute to the influence of the city
and the development of tourism.
