What FDI Promotion does

FDI Promotion is a privately-held French real estate developer (SAS, capital €1.5M) headquartered in Montpellier, operating as the property development arm of parent Groupe FDI. Founded in 1993, the company specializes in new residential construction under the VEFA (off-plan sales) framework, with occasional serviced building plots (terrains à bâtir) and tertiary/commercial real estate. Activity is concentrated in the Hérault and Gard departments of the Occitanie region, including Montpellier, Jacou, Le Grau-du-Roi, Sète, Saint-Clément-de-Rivière, and Nîmes, with more than 4,200 housing units delivered over its 30-year history and eight named programs currently in the pipeline (deliveries between Q4 2026 and Q1 2029).

The product portfolio spans studios to five-room apartments priced from €169,500 to €529,500 TTC, alongside serviced land plots, and is supported by an array of French fiscal mechanisms including Pinel, the upcoming Dispositif Jeanbrun (2026), reduced TVA at 5.5%, PSLA, and BRS to address primary residence, secondary/coastal residence, and rental investor buyer segments. Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales paid in installments linked to construction milestones under VEFA. Distribution is hybrid: direct sales via the Montpellier headquarters and on-site model apartments combined with a partner extranet portal serving approved real estate agents and distributors, plus partnerships with financial institutions for buyer financing.

The company is led by President Mathieu Massot, holds €1.5M of share capital, and reports 101–250 employees. It is a member of industry bodies FPI and DNV, complies with RE2020 energy standards, and provides standard French construction guarantees (decennial, biennial, perfect completion). The firm carries no disclosed patents, no funding rounds, and no acquisitions; growth is organic, driven by program launches and modest geographic extension within Occitanie.
