ARGAN is pursuing the deployment of its Aut0nom® sites across the French territory with the signing of a lease in future state of completion for a cold positive storage warehouse in Sorigny that will be operated by DANONE FRANCE.
The works for this new site will start in a booming business area – the Sorigny Isoparc. The city of Sorigny is directly linked to the A10 French highway, in immediate proximity to the A85 French highway and only fifteen kilometres away from the South of Tours: it thus offers a strategic location at the heart of the Tours area with already over 100,000 sq.m of developed logistics surfaces, 1,400 employees and about 30 companies.
This state-of-the-art parc aims at combining economic efficiency and environmental excellence thanks to the use of renewable energy, the preservation of green landscapes on one third of the land area, as well as a charter that guarantees the architectural quality of the layouts and developments.
With this operation, some sixty employees of DANONE are making a short-distance move, as they were until now operating on the nearby-site of Chambray-les-Tours, which is distant by about ten kilometresfrom Sorigny. The lease in future state of completion signed between ARGAN and DANONE will last for a fixed term period of 9 years, starting from the day of the site delivery, expected for the Summer of 2026.
The future site will represent 8,200 sq.m of built area, including a cell of 6,400 sq.m in positive cold storage of 2/6°C along an office bloc of 800 sq.m. The Aut0nom® equipment by ARGAN will help cover a significant part of the site's overall consumption with green carbon free energy generated on-site.
Ronan Le Lan, Chairman of ARGAN's Executive Board: "ARGAN is proud to welcome a renowned company such as DANONE as part of its client base. I sincerely thank the Community of cities of the Tours area – Touraine Vallée de l'Indre – that proved to be a real partner for ARGAN to provide the right conditions to deliver this new development."
Philippe Amiotte, Danone's Head of Real Estate and Work Environment: "This new tool for our operations will contribute to drive the growth of our business in Tours. The Aut0nom® label was a decisive argument in our choice. This 'in-use' carbon zero building is fully in line with DANONE group's ambitions in terms of respect for the environment."
