About SOCRI

Socri Limited is an independent real estate group founded in 2003 and is wholly owned by its Chairman, Nicolas Chambon. Graduating from HEC in 1995, Nicolas Chambon developed his business acumen at global consumer goods companies before establishing his own real estate group. The firm specializes in all phases of property development, from design and project steering to asset management and marketing of commercial properties. Socri serves local authorities and public and private partners, focusing on urban development that integrates commercial, residential, office, and hotel spaces. Its business model involves developing, owning, and managing significant real estate assets, primarily mixed-use urban projects and shopping centers.

The company's portfolio includes shopping centers like Polygone Béziers and Polygone Riviera, office buildings in Montpellier and Luxembourg, and Galeries Lafayette department stores. A key tenet of Socri's strategy is the integration of nature and green spaces within its urban projects, such as the 3-hectare park created for Polygone Riviera. Since 2018, the group has diversified into the ultra-luxury residential market in Miami through its subsidiary KOQIO (also known as Ceïba), developing exclusive villas. This international expansion is considered a complementary, counter-cyclical activity to its commercial property operations in Europe. The group is also undertaking a major redevelopment of the Fontvieille district in Monaco, a project with a high emphasis on environmental sustainability, aiming for completion by 2027.
