The challenges for real estate commerce in 2024:

  • Continue the simplification of town planning procedures initiated with the reform of the PPA / GOU.
  • Pursue the ecological and energy transformation successfully initiated on commercial sites. Encouraging, not just constraining: inviting dialogue on the application of environmental regulations.
