Eiffage Construction, a division of European construction company Eiffage, has announced the completion of the Sensorium, a mixed-use development in France.
Located at the entrance of La Madeleine, near Vieux-Lille, the Sensorium is a project delivered by Eiffage Construction, which served as the general contractor.
The development, which took nearly three years to complete, features 135 housing units, including 41 social rental units and adapted housing for young adults with autism-spectrum disorders, alongside 18,000m² of office space, shops, restaurants, collaborative spaces, and outdoor areas.
The entire development is centred around a new city gateway square, which includes a central park filled with trees, a public square, a pedestrian walkway, children’s play areas, and a two-way access road.
This project has also seen the planting of more than 300 trees, quadrupling the initial number.
The rooftops of the Sensorium boast shared terraces that are accessible to all residents, complete with vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and climbing plants, contributing to the greenery of the development.

By GlobalDataThe project prioritised environmental sustainability, with the use of low-carbon concrete throughout the construction. The office space foundation slab’s concrete saved an estimated 280 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, Eiffage stated.
In terms of energy performance, the development’s office spaces are aiming for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method Excellent certification and the Haute Qualité Environnementale Sustainable Building and E2C1 labels while the housing units are targeting the BEE+ label.
The construction site engaged up to 200 workers and utilised four cranes, with logistics managed to allow the simultaneous construction of the office and housing phases.
The project team includes Bouygues Immobilier and Sogeprom-Projectim as project owners, Dehaene + partenaires architectes urbanistes as the architect, and several engineering and construction economy companies such as PROJEX, DIAGOBAT, EGIS, URBA FOLIA, and OPTIBAT.
Eiffage Énergie Systèmes handled the electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and building management systems for the offices while Eiffage Route was responsible for roadworks and utilities.
Earlier this April, Eiffage Construction also completed the delivery of three production halls for Airbus Atlantic in Rochefort, France.
