Linkcity lays the foundation stone for lot H of Quai 1 in Saint-André-Lez-Lille, a virtuous housing complex

This block was developed by Linkcity for the CDC Habitat group at the heart of the Quai 22 urban project in Saint-André-Lez-Lille on the banks of the Deûle. Lot H contributes, on its scale, to meeting the needs of the territory in terms of diversity of housing. This program is made up of 122 social and intermediate rental housing units, with 3 business premises.

A virtuous real estate complex, part of which is made entirely of wood

Lot H, designed by the architecture and landscaping agency Leclercq Associés, consists of 122 dwellings ranging from T2 to T5, the vast majority of which are dual-aspect or dual-aspect and each benefiting from an exterior (terrace, balcony, loggia). The program includes:

• 42 social rental housing units;
• 80 intermediate rental units;
• 3 commercial or activity units on the ground floor overlooking the Deûle or rue Gisèle Halimi.

The accommodations will benefit from a very pleasant setting, as they are located near the future Quai 22 park (approximately one hectare) and facing the Deûle. The views from the accommodations are turned towards nature, even in the heart of the block thanks to a large landscaped slab. The latter will be a vector for biodiversity.

In accordance with the CSR commitments of Linkcity and the CDC Habitat group, lot H limits its environmental impact thanks in particular to the use of bio-sourced materials and innovative processes to limit energy consumption.

This project therefore stands out in particular thanks to:

• 8 T4 duplex accommodations made entirely of wood (structure and facades)
• A hybrid heating system for intermediate rental accommodation: the vast majority of the time, heating and domestic hot water will be provided by heat pumps, and a collective gas boiler room will take over during very cold spells.

This operation also benefits from the support of the Re-employment Booster[1] (collective action program whose objective is to increase reuse in construction).

The work, which began at the beginning of the year, is being carried out by Bouygues teams
Northeast Building.

[1] Linkcity has been a member of the Reuse Booster since the launch of the initiative.

Quai 22: a family neighborhood between city and nature

Located at kilometer 22 of the Deûle, this development project offers new life to a former industrial wasteland.

At a time of functional diversity, Quai 22 brings together nature and the city with housing for all (families, young people, seniors, people with disabilities, etc.), shops and offices. It is a lively place, ideal for relaxation and walks in the park or along the water.

Quai 22 favours soft modes of transport with high-quality paths dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians. It constitutes a major stage of the route of the future Deûle promenade, developed by the European Metropolis of Lille.

The attention paid to public spaces and central places gives the neighborhood its personality.

This urban project is being developed by Ville Renouvelée, Linkcity and Nhood.

Key figures on Quai 22:

• 86.000 m2 of floor space
• 700 housing
• 10.000 m2 of offices,
• 2.500 m2 of equipment

The CDC Habitat group: a particularly committed player in Quai 22

With nearly 200 homes acquired on the scale of the urban project, the Group is a major player in Quai 22. Through this commitment, CDC Habitat contributes to:

Expand the residential route proposed on a city and metropolitan scale with social rental housing (LLS), intermediate rental housing (LLI), contractual affordable housing (LAC);

• Allow for real programmatic diversity;
• Encourage the development of housing that reduces its environmental footprint through its design, construction and operation.

With lot H, the Group is investing for the first time in the North in a program including social rental housing since its social approval in October 2023.

For Anne-Sophie Grave, Chairwoman of the CDC Habitat Board of Directors: "With the Quai 22 program carried out in Saint-André-lez-Lille, the CDC Habitat group is strengthening its presence in Hauts-de-France and particularly in the European metropolis of Lille. This operation marks the upcoming arrival of our first social rental housing since the approval obtained in October 2023. This dynamism is also reflected in a high level of deliveries in the region in 2023 and 2024 with 1.200 homes delivered. The timber-frame construction of this program, carried out on a former industrial wasteland, is a fine illustration of the Group's commitment to sustainable and low-carbon housing."

For Frédéric Delabie, North-East Director of Linkcity: "The development of Quai 22 is continuing and is a concrete demonstration of Linkcity's commitments to developing an exemplary district combining functional diversity, a diversified housing offer and environmental intangibles. Quai 22 offers the people of Andrézieux and the metropolitan area a living environment in which to live, work and breathe. Lot H is the perfect illustration of this and allows us to support the development of CDC Habitat in the North-East, thanks to projects that bring its ambitions to fruition."
