Location
The property lies in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. It is nestled in the beating heart of the trendy, vibrant Porte Saint-Denis district, near the Bonne Nouvelle metro station. This area is known for its many restaurants, galleries and architecture firms. The former French newspaper ‘Le Petit Parisen’ was printed here. This district neighbours the city’s famous Grands Boulevards.
Description
The edifice
The edifice was built before 1850. It has a remarkable neo-Renaissance facade of dressed stone. Pilasters crowned with capitals stand between windows framed in foliage entablatures and surrounds. Stringcourses and a cornice add to the facade’s horizontal divisions. All the elevations were recently restored. The edifice has two paved inner courts. At the end of them there are former domestic staff living quarters and old stables that can still be seen. You enter the building either via a covered entrance area that leads straight to the two inner courts or via a remarkable double door in an arched doorway that leads to a hallway with neo-Renaissance pilasters and a floor of tiles patterned with square inserts. The entrance is fitted with an entry code system, then an intercom, an electronic key system and a lobby for security.
The business space
The business space has two floors. The main one offers a floor area of almost 93m². This dual-aspect space leads out into the two courts of the commonhold building. You reach this business space either via the edifice’s entrance door and hallway or directly from the court via a glazed door. The space has kept marks of the former layout, which can be seen in the mouldings that run along the ceilings. Solid wood strip flooring extends across the whole level. Exposed stonework and concrete form the walls. Two trumeau sections stand opposite each other where fireplaces were once installed. Indeed, fireplaces could be put back here. There is a reception desk counter, a small kitchen that could be extended, two showers, a washbasin and a lavatory. A staircase leads down to the lower level, which offers a floor area of around 34m². Like the level above it, this level is a dual-aspect space with a separate entrance that leads in from the court. There is a hallway, an office with workshop-style glazing and a second office that is half open. The whole floor could be used as a single large office or a meeting room. Solid wood strip flooring extends across the level, which has underfloor heating. Storage spaces have been created here too. And there is a shower, a lavatory and a washbasin. The entire business space offers a total floor area of almost 127m² over its two levels. The property is in perfect condition and is designed with high-quality materials.
Our opinion
This elegant business space is at once original and classical. Its architectural features dating back to the edifice’s time of construction have been well preserved and the rooms have been opened up as much as possible in an aesthetic design that is contemporary and balanced. The place has been renovated with high-quality materials. Its location in Paris, its dual-aspect layout, its calm and its three entrances are precious assets. No renovation work is needed here, neither in the communal areas of the commonhold building nor in the business space itself. This remarkable property is ready and waiting for the next chapter in its story to be written.
