SM Group

What SM Group does

Groupe SM is a privately held, family-owned French real estate developer and land developer (promoteur aménageur immobilier) headquartered in Narbonne, Occitanie, founded around 1980. The company develops new-build residential apartments (T1 to T5), serviced building plots (terrains à bâtir), and commercial/office spaces, primarily for individual homebuyers, families, first-time buyers eligible for PTZ+ assistance, individual investors, and small business buyers. Operations span the Occitanie region — across Aude, Hérault, Haute-Garonne, and Pyrénées-Orientales — with a recent extension into Val-de-Marne (Créteil) in the Île-de-France region.

The product offering is organized into three revenue streams: new apartment sales (projects such as L'Impériale, Bella Míla, Chrysalis, Terres Boréales, and Nympheum in Narbonne, Massolacum in Créteil, Arcadie in Toulouse, and Alma in Labarthe-sur-Lèze), building plot sales across multiple lotissement developments, and commercial/office space sales (L'Orsa, Le Cloud, Sainte Rose in Narbonne; Aurea in Muret). Apartments range from approximately €149,900 for a T1 studio to €859,900 for premium T4-T5 units; building plots range from €44,900 to €255,000; and commercial units range from approximately €67,900 HT to €474,900 HT. Distribution is direct-to-buyer via the company website, on-site sales offices at each development, and structured private sales events, supported by a €500 customer referral program and a WordPress-based digital platform with Google Analytics.

The business operates with 100% own capital (Capitaux Propres) — no external debt or investor financing is disclosed. The company is led by three directeurs associés: Thomas Sangalli (land acquisition, client and elected-official relationships), Julien Sangalli (urban planning, real estate law), and Laurent Maratuech (technical conception, civil engineering from INSA Toulouse, joined 2017). The firm has completed over 15,000 housing units cumulatively and maintains partnerships with sustainability specialists (COHAB, on the Terra Magma biodiversity project in Bessan), architects (Alex Letellier for Aurea), and artists (Richard Orlinski, via OLLL, for L'Impériale).
