History

edit

Foncière des Régions[10] was created in 1998 in Metz, initially with the property and workers' housing assets of the Usinor group, which was refocusing on its steel business.

In 2002, the company continued to invest in housing, taking over 4,000 homes from the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique through its Sovakle subsidiary. But it is also diversifying its investments. In 2004, Foncière des Régions took control of another listed property company, Bail Investissement, which owns a significant portfolio of offices and logistics platforms. Another subsidiary, Foncière des Murs, acquired 22 retirement homes from the Suren group,[11] followed by 128 hotel properties from the AccorHotels group.

In 2018, Foncière des Régions became Covivio.
