SPL Deux Rives Strasbourg

What SPL Deux Rives Strasbourg does

SPL Deux Rives Strasbourg is a French Société Publique Locale (public local company) created in 2014 and wholly owned by the City of Strasbourg and the Strasbourg Eurométropole. It serves as the public urban developer mandated to plan, coordinate, and deliver the Deux-Rives / Zwei-Ufer cross-border urban development project — a 74-hectare transformation of former port and industrial land along the Rhine into four mixed-use districts (Citadelle, Starlette, Coop, Port du Rhin) anchored by the cross-border Tram Line D connecting Strasbourg to Kehl, Germany. Its portfolio of products and services comprises: (1) urban project management and master planning, including a 3,700-housing-unit program by 2030 (40% affordable via social housing, intermediate housing, and Bail Réel Solidaire), 130,000 m² of socio-economic and public facilities, and 20 hectares of green and public space; (2) public parking operations across Silo Coop (600 spaces, opened Dec 2023), Starlette Petit-Rhin (Aug 2024), and Dock-1, managed in partnership with Group Indigo; (3) cultural and educational infrastructure including La Virgule (4,600 m² delivered Sept 2019), the Union Sociale museums conservation pole (8,200 m², 400,000 pieces, delivered Oct 2020), and KaléidosCOOP tiers-lieu; (4) citizen engagement via Point COOP – Café Deux-Rives and participatory planning ('La fabrique du projet'). There is no proprietary technology stack; the organization is a public-sector project delivery vehicle rather than a technology company.

Revenue derives from two streams: (a) public-sector mandates and grants (notably a €498,000 France 2030 'Démonstrateurs de la Ville durable' grant over 36 months and 2024 'Territoires engagés pour le logement' selection, supplemented by Eurométropole operating subsidies and the €13.5M 2023-2024 social housing support plan), and (b) parking transaction and subscription fees (residential and business subscribers at €25-€1,380 annually plus hourly pay-as-you-go at €0.10-€0.40 per 15-minute increment). Customer segments are dominated by public administration (Eurométropole, City museums, port authority), with secondary tenant mix of professional services (PwC, Soffal), cultural and cooperative organizations (KaléidosCOOP, CRIC), and end users (3,700 future residents, 3,600 workers by 2030).
