ArchParc

What ArchParc does

ArchParc is a public, non-profit business park located in Archamps, in the French Haute-Savoie department adjacent to Geneva, Switzerland. It is managed by SMAG (Syndicat Mixte d'Aménagement du Genevois), a public inter-municipal development agency. The park spans 62 hectares of landscaped grounds with 145,000 m² of built space, accommodating approximately 180 companies and 2,137 employees across biotech, retail (Botanic), cinema (Pathé), grocery (Migros), medical aesthetics (Laboratoires Vivacy), aerospace, and education tenants.

The park's core offering is mixed-use real estate leasing, complemented by an integrated Centre de Convention for events, a dedicated Campus for academic and corporate training, and a broad on-site services layer. Technology and supporting infrastructure include a smart parking system, EV charging stations, secure bike parking, the ARCHPARC mobile App, the ARCH CONNECT digital concierge, and the Arch&Go mobility hub that integrates intermodal transport options. Strategic academic partnerships with Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and ESI anchor university and training activity within the park.

ArchParc's business model is anchored on long-term real estate leases to a diversified tenant base, with supplementary revenue from event hosting at the Convention Center, parking and mobility services, and tenant-facing concierge and amenity fees. As a public entity, it benefits from state and regional public funding (including through the France 2030 program) rather than private capital, and operates on a non-profit basis under SMAG's stewardship. The combination of public ownership, cross-border location, integrated amenities, and diversification into new verticals (coliving, mobility R&D) positions ArchParc as a hybrid public-private economic development platform rather than a conventional commercial landlord.

With 145,000 m² constructed and an extension on more than 18 hectares, the park offers a diverse real estate portfolio for companies seeking to establish operations in the Grand Genève region. Property types include shared offices, large tertiary plateaus, laboratories, mixed-use spaces, and greenfield land.

This serves both as a revenue stream and a community-building mechanism to attract prospective tenants.
