Property developers from the Île-de-France region celebrate excellence and innovation at the Pyramides d'Argent Île-de-France 2025 awards.

The event brought together many players in the sector around a common ambition: to promote the projects and the women and men who, through their commitment, are pushing back the barriers of real estate development in the Île-de-France region.

The Pyramides d'Argent competition, a regional version of the FPI's national Pyramides competition, annually celebrates the most exemplary projects undertaken by the Federation's members. Nine thematic prizes, sponsored by FPI IDF's institutional and technical partners, recognize projects that combine innovation, architectural quality, environmental performance, and a positive impact on the local communities.

This 2025 edition was chaired by Méka Brunel, President of the Palladio Foundation. Under her guidance, the jury paid close attention to the projects' ability to anticipate urban transformations and renew professional practices. This approach is fully aligned with the work of the Palladio Foundation, which strives to foster dialogue among stakeholders in urban development and to support the evolution of our professions.

According to Julien Pemezec, Co-President of the FPI Île-de-France: “The Pyramides d’Argent awards are always a special occasion to highlight the diversity and richness of the property development profession. In a historically challenging market, this 2025 edition demonstrates a profession that continues to innovate, reinvent itself, and uphold the values ​​of quality, responsibility, and sustainability. The winning projects illustrate the ability of stakeholders in the Île-de-France region to devise concrete solutions to the major challenges facing cities: better construction, better housing, and better meeting the expectations of the residents of Île-de-France.”
