ALC

What ALC does

ALC is a Paris-based boutique commercial real estate advisory firm that brokers office leases, coworking arrangements, and commercial property acquisitions and sales on behalf of corporate clients. Its service portfolio spans rental location, service provision (prestation de services), coworking procurement and owner-side sale mandates, with deal sizes in the public portfolio ranging from 200 m² to 8,500 m² across roughly 18 named engagements. The firm is owner-operated by co-founders Adrien Viaud and Jonathan Roch-Cohen, supported by four named consultants (Florian, Yassine, Henri, Arnaud), and operates through three coordinated French legal entities — ALC & Associés (SAS, €50,000 capital, CPI 9201 2023), ALC (SARL, €1,000 capital, CPI 7501 2015), and ALC Immo (SASU, €1,000 capital, CPI 7501 2022) — all holding French professional transaction cards and registered to APE 6831Z.

ALC's client base is notably diverse for a six-person practice, spanning high-visibility fashion houses (Jacquemus across multiple Paris and Lisbon sites, Ami Paris, Faguo), technology companies (Mozilla, Awin, Deepki, Alice & Bob, Eulerian Technologies, Gleamer, Akeo), professional services and media firms (Teamto, The Independents, Io média), coworking operators (Deskopolitan, Nova/Startway, On Location/WeWork), and nonprofit/automotive clients (Fondation Grancher, Expliseat). The firm is sales-led and relationship-driven, with no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed pricing, and no digital marketing beyond a content website — distribution relies on word-of-mouth from a loyal client base and visible reference deals. Geographic scope is concentrated in Paris (multiple arrondissements from 1 through 19) with selective extensions to Nantes (Faguo) and a cross-border mandate in Lisbon (Jacquemus).
