Imaprim

What Imaprim does

Imaprim is a privately held regional real estate developer (promoteur immobilier) founded in 2006 by Olivier Gallais, who remains President and sole shareholder. The company operates as a simplified joint-stock company (SAS à associé unique) with €500,000 registered capital, headquartered in Chambéry, France. Imaprim designs and sells new-build residential properties (VEFA — Vente en État Futur d'Achèvement) in the Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and Isère departments of southeastern France, with active or planned programs in Grenoble, Chambéry, Annecy, Annemasse, Thonon-les-Bains, the Pays de Gex, and surrounding agglomérations. Its portfolio of 18+ active programs (with deliveries between Q4 2025 and Q4 2028) ranges from intimate 15-unit residences to larger 50–65-unit complexes, alongside completed residences such as Akane, Mélyane, and Artistik.

The company's core activity is land acquisition, architectural co-development (e.g., AER Architectes for ARTÉMISIA), construction oversight to RE2020 standards, and direct-to-consumer unit sales. It runs physical sales showrooms (Ima'store in Chambéry and an agency in Grenoble), a website-based inquiry system, phone sales, and a €700 referral program, supplemented by social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Pricing spans roughly €169,000 for a T2 unit to €644,400 for a T5, with programs marketed around reduced notary fees (2–3% versus 7–8% on older properties) and energy-efficiency benefits. Customer segments comprise individual primary-residence buyers, Pinel tax-advantaged investors, and cross-border Geneva-area professionals purchasing in nearby French communes.

Imaprim generates revenue on a one-time, per-transaction basis via VEFA sales rather than recurring contracts or subscriptions. There is no disclosed external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public revenue figures; the firm operates entirely on founder equity and construction-stage cash flow. Its competitive position rests on regional brand recognition since 2006, a 2019 Pyramides d'Argent industry award, eco-responsible construction practices, and a curated pipeline of human-scale residences in supply-constrained Alpine markets with structural demand from Geneva commuters and domestic investors.
