Terre Et Developpement

What Terre Et Developpement does

Terre & Développement is a French land developer (aménageur foncier) and subdivision creator operating primarily in Alsace, with expansion into Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Rhône-Alpes. Founded as a brand within Groupe Vivialys (established 1999, headquartered in Lutterbach), the company acquires raw land, obtains subdivision permits, carries out infrastructure work (viabilisation), and sells serviced building plots to individual buyers, professionals, and municipal partners. Its core products are buildable, serviced land parcels (typically 250-870 m²) organized into branded residential projects (Terre Eternam, Terre Ad Vitam, Terre du Trèfle, Terre du Sakura, Terre d'Orée, among others), with plot prices ranging from approximately €43,335 to €143,655 depending on location and size.

The company differentiates itself through brownfield redevelopment expertise, employing proprietary in-situ bioremediation (biotraitement) to remediate hydrocarbon- and heavy-metal-contaminated soils, circular economy practices (on-site reuse of demolition debris, metals and wood recycling), and HQE Aménagement-certified development processes. Standout projects include Terre Ad Vitam (Kingersheim, former AMECO site) and Terre Eternam (Turckheim, former Scherb paper mill), the latter winning the 2025 Prix spécial du jury at the Concours de l'Habitat Innovant du Pôle Habitat FFB and supported by ADEME funding for the biotraitement innovation.

The business model generates one-time revenue from the margin between land acquisition/development costs and plot sales, supplemented by project management fees on municipal partnership developments. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales to municipalities and local authorities (initiating lotissement projects via communal partnerships) with event-driven and digital direct-to-consumer channels (Journées Portes Ouvertes, Rencontres Vivialys events, website inquiries). As one of five brands under Groupe Vivialys — alongside Carré de l'Habitat, Trianon Résidences, Maisons Oxygène, and Maisons Stéphane Berger — Terre & Développement benefits from cross-referral, shared back-office, and the group's 26-agency, ~1,000-home-per-year distribution infrastructure.
