Val d’Europe, 11 December 2019 – Comprised of a major tourist center and a quality urban area, Val d’Europe has become the main center of development in the eastern suburbs of Paris. Halfway through its development, the area already has nearly 500,000 m² of offices and business premises developed or under development and is positioned as a territory of the future. Following the recent announcement of the arrival of Crédit Agricole’s regional headquarters and its 420 employees, Val d’Europe is continuing its dynamic development by welcoming the arrival of Deloitte University EMEA, an exceptional European centre that will deliver leading-edge training. The arrival of Deloitte University EMEA continues the growth of the region and is a dynamic addition for the territory.
A strong year for the territory
Since 1987, Disneyland Paris, through Real Estate Development by Euro Disney and together with its public and private partners, has developed the components necessary for the economical and social balance of the territory of Val d’Europe, from urban harmony to commercialization. With its many assets including accessibility and an atypical living environment, Val d’Europe is a territory with unique opportunities for all businesses, from small to big.
The economic heart of the zone is driven by the various tourist developments that make Val d’Europe Europe’s number one tourist destination. Disneyland Paris is a driver of tourism for the region and a real economic and social powerhouse for the zone, with more than 17,000 employees. In 2018, the Walt Disney Company announced a major investment plan of over 2 billion euros to expand and develop the Walt Disney Studios Park, the extension work of which has begun, and which continues to accelerate the virtuous dynamics of a zone combining a tourist destination on a European scale, with excellence in urban development.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13875″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At the center of the collaboration between different public and private players, Val d’Europe is now home to 35,000 jobs and 35,000 inhabitants, significant for an area that is less than 20 years old, and with plans to increase these figures to 60,000 jobs and 60,000 inhabitants, over time. The real estate development of the zone continued this year with the total supply of more than 500 shops and services in the most dynamic city in France in terms of the establishment of companies (6,500 establishments), the average occupancy rate of which is 99%.
It is particularly due to its international influence and its exceptional accessibility that Val d’Europe is today a major complex and the choice of many companies who see it as a place of the future, capable of hosting large projects – innovative, creative, multi-faceted projects that increase the virtuous dynamics already at play.
“Today, Val d’Europe is a leading economic center, and enjoys exceptional growth, both in terms of jobs and the establishment of businesses. The quality of life and the exceptional transport facilities help make this area a key hub,” says Christophe Giral, Euro Disney’s Real Estate Director.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The establishment of Deloitte University EMEA only confirms the attractiveness of Val d’Europe
