Carré de Soie: real-estate (invest)

Carré de Soie, one of the flagship projects of the urban area, destined to become an important services center by 2015-2020 With a commercial and leisure hub, housing and office space between city and nature in an area of 500 hectares near the city center, the Carré de Soie thinks big. At the link between the innermost core of the urban area and its major areas of development to the east, the Carré de Soie is one of the flagship projects of the urban area, destined to become an important services center by 2015-2020.

Carré de Soie, a concept in vogue

To the east of Lyon, in Villeurbanne and Vaulx-en-Velin, the Carré de Soie enjoys an exceptional environment. Near the Jonage Canal, the project is part of the extension of the Miribel Park, one of the largest natural peri-urban green spaces in Europe. It will highlight these landscaping assets in order to develop the concept of an “inhabited park”, offering a new way of living for future residents.

Green modes of transportation

As of 2009, connecting routes designed for green modes of transportation (cycling and pedestrian) along the canal will link the neighborhood to the city center.
