RIVP

What RIVP does

RIVP (Régie Immobilière de la Ville de Paris) is a semi-public social housing landlord (régie) founded in 1923 and owned by the City of Paris. The company manages a portfolio of over 66,000 social housing units across Paris arrondissements (12e, 13e, 14e, 18e, 19e, 20e) and the Île-de-France region, including Val-de-Marne. Rents are regulated under French government frameworks (PLAI, PLUS, PLS, PLI) with income-based eligibility criteria. Beyond residential rentals, RIVP operates 60+ business real estate sites covering 220,000 m², hosting 1,200+ companies — including nearly 400 startups, SMEs, artisans, research centers, and makers — across hôtels d'entreprises, incubators, workshops, and ateliers.

The organization also operates event venues (Le Totem auditorium and Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers), provides tenant services such as housing adaptations for seniors and disabled residents (Coup de neuf, Adaptation de logement), and runs an online tenant portal (Mon Espace Locataire). Distribution combines a Paris neighborhood agency network, the national housing portal (demande-logement-social.gouv.fr), the Échanger Habiter exchange platform, the GIE Paris Commerces inter-landlord grouping, and a dedicated business real estate platform (monlocal.rivp.fr). The group includes wholly-owned subsidiaries Hénéo and Hsf, and engages in major urban renewal projects coordinated with SEMAPA, Paris & Métropole Aménagement, and Foncière de la Ville de Paris.

The business model is recurring rental income (regulated residential plus market-rate commercial) supplemented by event-venue fees. RIVP employs 1,001-5,000 staff across nearly 50 professions and is governed under the RIVP 2032 strategic plan, with David Belliard as Président. As a municipal régie, RIVP is not venture-backed, not publicly listed, and operates under the regulatory and financial oversight of the Ville de Paris.
