VILLES ET VILLAGES CREATIONS

What VILLES ET VILLAGES CREATIONS does

Villes & Villages Créations is a French regional real estate developer founded in 1995, headquartered in Saint-Martin-Le-Vinoux near Grenoble and operating across the Rhône-Alpes/Alpine region (Isère, Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Pays de Gex, and mountain resorts). The company operates two divisions: Villes & Villages Créations, which develops new residential properties (apartments from studios to 5-bedroom units, individual villas, building lots, and commercial spaces) under the French VEFA off-plan sales framework with statutory developer guarantees, and Villes & Villages Patrimoine, focused on heritage building rehabilitation. All new constructions comply with French environmental thermal regulations RT 2012 and RE 2020, with select developments incorporating photovoltaic roof panels and EV-ready parking infrastructure.

The company's revenue model centers on one-time unit sales of newly built properties, with unit prices ranging from approximately €140,000 for entry-level apartments (Le Cheylas) to over €2,100,000 for large commercial spaces (YNO Seynod), spanning urban primary residences, Alpine second homes, ski-in/ski-out resort investments, and commercial/office real estate. Distribution is conducted exclusively through its own network of five offices (headquarters, regional HQ in Epagny Metz Tessy, plus sales bureaus in Ferney-Voltaire, Publier, and Chambéry) supplemented by website contact forms, an email newsletter (Campaign Monitor), and social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram). The customer base consists of individual homebuyers, real-estate investors eligible for Pinel/PTZ tax incentives, and business owners purchasing commercial units.

Strategic positioning emphasizes an independent, human-scale, regional identity with over 30 years of continuous operation. Recent activity includes co-development agreements (YNO Seynod with Impact Promotion), entry into commercial real estate and building-lot product lines, and continued expansion into luxury Alpine resort residences. No external private equity, parent company, or public listing is identified in the source materials, and the company remains privately held with 11-50 employees and no disclosed revenue figures.
