What AREVALE does
AREVALE is a French boutique advisory and transaction firm specializing in logistics and industrial real estate, founded in 2014 and operating as AREVALE PARIS OUEST SAS, a private SAS entity with €5,000 share capital headquartered in Paris. The firm offers four core service lines: Transaction (rental, sale, and acquisition of warehouses, industrial buildings, activity premises, and strategic land), Investment (acquisition, divestiture, sale-and-leaseback, and portfolio arbitrage advisory), Development (turnkey construction project management under BEFA, VEFA, and CPI structures), and Associated Services (property valuations, lease renegotiation, targeted prospecting, land remembrement, and ICPE compliance audits). A proprietary digital tool, the "Calculateur de Barycentre," enables customers to compute the optimal geographic gravity center for warehouse or distribution-center siting. The underlying business is relationship-driven rather than technology-driven; there is no proprietary platform architecture, API, or software-as-a-service product beyond the barycenter calculator.
The firm serves three principal customer segments: logistics and industrial companies requiring premises for operations; institutional and private investors (investment funds, private real estate companies, family offices, SCPI/OPCI managers) seeking acquisition, sale, or yield optimization; and property owners seeking to sell or lease logistics, industrial, commercial, or office assets. Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees and advisory fees, with pricing communicated via a non-publicly-disclosed fee schedule (barème d'honoraires) and likely negotiated based on transaction value and complexity. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on professional network referrals, a comprehensive website, and field-based client engagement across at least seven French regions including Île-de-France, Grand Est, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Normandie, Centre-Val de Loire, Pays de la Loire, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
The team consists of approximately six professionals led by two principals — Guillaume Williams (Investment, with prior experience at KPMG, Atis Real/BNP Real Estate, and CBRE) and Matthieu Bès de Berc (Transaction) — supported by Guillaume de Mareilhac on content. AREVALE maintains a partnership ecosystem with ICPE compliance experts, general contractors, and developer-investors to deliver development mandates. Notable documented transactions include the Bresles Seveso-classified logistics platform (33,914 m²) sold to NOZ via ING Lease France mandate, a diversified 12-asset 15,000 m² Reims-Dijon portfolio sold to Proudreed, and the Pontault-Combault activity building (4,360 m²) tripartite transaction involving France Routage, Akraplast, and JESMA Real Estate.
