Project originated by:
The Les Bastidons des Alpilles operation is being carried out by the Regency Group, headed by Mr. Fichard, which has been developing real estate operations for more than 40 years.
Raizers is involved in the financing of the second phase of the interior renovation works of a property complex for holiday homes, comprising 38 dwellings, reception, tennis court and swimming pool.
More than 85% of the first tranche has now been sold. The last 3 remaining lots have been reserved by the operator.
Each renovated housing in the second phase will be sold on a lot-by-lot basis to purchasers wishing to occupy it for a few weeks a year to spend their holidays and to rent it out, if they wish, on a weekly basis for the rest of the year.
Zoom on the program
The acquisition of this tourist residence was completed in early 2018 and financed by the Rothschild-Martin-Maurel bank. No renovation work had been carried out on this residence for more than 20 years.
Between 2018 and 2020, after obtaining a building permit, a works program (€1.2 million or approximately €1,000 per sq. m) was carried out by the operator of this residence to renovate the various communal areas (swimming pool, park, petanque area, laundry, caretaker) and private areas.
As a result of the work carried out, 16 of the 19 homes in this first tranche were sold under the "Vente d'Immeuble à Rénover" format, allowing the amount of the work to be deducted from the property income. The three remaining lots are reserved (the lessee being the operator).
The operator has found in this market for second homes that it is preferable to sell "ready-to-live in" lots, as buyers are passing through and cannot manage the work remotely. This is what delayed the marketing of the first tranche.
In order to adapt its resale strategy, it has decided to launch the marketing of the 2nd tranche as of now. In order to help future investors to better project themselves once the work has been completed, 2 bastions of the second tranche have already been renovated by the operator to serve as "show homes".
The second phase will offer two models of units:
*Private surface area corresponds to the living area + 30% of the surface area of the annexes.
**Agency and notary fees included
Unit details and commercialization
The future buyers will be able to either come here to spend their holidays or to rent for a short period of time. The co-ownership syndicate is in charge of the short term rental. Weekly rental prices are determined according to the period of the year.
Depending on the price of the night, which varies according to the season and the occupancy rate, the expected return on the " Mistral " model sold 167 400 € deeds in hand would be as follows:
To obtain a net return of 5%, the investor must rent (gross) on average for a day at €75 or a week at €518.
The calculation assumptions used are as follows:
* Deduction of 30% of charges on gross rents (including concierge services, cleaning, etc.).
* Occupancy rate of 40% over the year, i.e. 146 days in the year or 21 weeks.
According to the operator, following this summer's confinement, not being a hotel, the demand for bookings was very strong on this program.
Currently, on the short-term rental sites during the summer season, the average price for a night is 100 €/night.

The renovation of the common areas and lots of the first phase, notably the swimming pool, will facilitate the sale of the second phase.
The works planned for the second phase are the renovation and fitting out with the extension of an awning for the 15 bastions MISTRAL and 3 bastions VAN GOGH for an amount of €652,012 including tax - i.e. €34,316 including tax per lot.?
The sale price of the transaction is below the market. There are few comparable offers, at around €150,000 for second homes in the commune of Saint Remy de Provence. The market corresponds mainly to pavilions of around 150 m² for prices between €400,000 and €800,000.
