BCLP advised a consortium of banks on the financing of the construction of La Cartoucherie third-place facility in Toulouse

BCLP advised Hélia Conseil (as arranger) as well as Caisse d'Epargne et de Prévoyance Aquitaine Poitou Charentes, Caisse d'Epargne et de Prévoyance de Midi Pyrénées, Crédit Coopératif, Arkéa Banque Entreprises et Institutionnels and La Banque Postale (in their capacity as lenders)  on the financing of the construction of the La Cartoucherie third-place facility in Toulouse.

The Collectif Cosmopolis brought together the companies behind the project (Bellevilles, de Watou, Pour la Route, The Roof Toulouse, TMCO and UCPA), joining forces with the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) to acquire and renovate a former industrial hall located in the heart of the eco-neighbourhood currently under construction in the Zac de la Cartoucherie. This historic 190-metre long hall, the largest in the neighbourhood, will be converted to a multi-use space comprising offices, work spaces, shops, bars and restaurants, sports facilities and apartments.  There will also be a 750-seat auditorium for hosting receptions. Work will begin in the summer of 2021 and the opening to the public is scheduled for the first half of 2023.

The project, totalling approximately 30 million Euros, was partially funded by a banking consortium comprised of Caisse d'Epargne et de Prévoyance Aquitaine Poitou Charentes, Caisse d'Epargne et de Prévoyance de Midi Pyrénées, Crédit Coopératif, Arkéa Banque Entreprises et Institutionnels and La Banque Postale.
