One particularity of this operation: it was sold in bulk to an institutional investor. No retail sales to come, then — but a chance to talk about a part of our business we discuss less often.

What this type of bulk sale says about the operation

• A due diligence carried out by a professional buyer — technical, financial and legal reviews scrutinised before signing.
• Land selected in a tight-supply area, on a documented rental market.
• Compliance with the standards we also apply to our retail developments: RE2020, layout quality, choice of materials.
• A construction site secured by the strength of the institutional buyer.

A stronger foothold in the Grand Ouest

It is also a way to strengthen our foothold in the Grand Ouest, where ADNOVA has been developing since the beginning. 13 years of activity, 23 developments delivered, more than 1,000 homes completed.

The diversity of delivery models

For wealth management advisors and industry players who follow our activity, these bulk transactions illustrate the diversity of delivery models we work with — alongside retail sales, which remain the heart of our relationship with private buyers, bare-ownership investors and expatriates.

Walking distance from the beach, for real

On the French Riviera, location isn’t one argument among others — it’s the argument. And being on foot from the beach — really on foot, in a few minutes, no car, no parking to find — is a rare standard.

The front-line land between Cannes and Antibes was built up in the 1960s and 1980s. What comes on the new-build market today comes from demolitions or infill plots: only a handful of projects each year along the entire coast. Ornella sits on one of them.

The ADNOVA standard, no product marketing

On finishes, we stick to what we’ve been doing for thirteen years: timeless materials, layouts designed to actually live in, restraint. No glossy-brochure effects, no promises we can’t keep at handover.

Sales open, construction starting

Standard French VEFA (off-plan sale). Sales open. Construction starting.

For ADNOVA, delivering a building is not the end of a construction site but the beginning of a building’s life. It is the moment to share what there is no time to share during the design and marketing phases.

A lobby, not just an entryway

The lobby of a residential building is the space residents walk through every day, several times. The usual reflex — mailboxes, mirror, green plant — turns it into a purely functional place. We made a different choice on Aristide.

The lobby hosts a permanent artwork, integrated with the architecture. A series designed to dialogue with the building’s light and with the daily routine of its residents.

This choice has a cost. It also has a reason: a building is not an envelope to rent out, it is a shared living space. And the first space residents pass through deserves more than mere signage.

Two acquisition modes

Aristide is marketed in two formats, depending on your project profile:

• Direct purchase — full ownership, to live in or to rent out freely.
• LLI bare-ownership scheme — for patrimonial buyers with a 15-year horizon: they buy the bare-ownership, ADNOVA keeps the usufruct on its own funds and runs the rental management for the entire period. At term, the bare-owner recovers full ownership.

To discuss the available lots or to receive the current brochure, get in touch.

Yet it is precisely long-term wealth building. And it speaks first and foremost to the patrimonial investor.

Who bare-ownership actually suits

The investor who thinks in 15-year horizons, not 12 months. Someone who can place a sum without needing it during the usufruct period. Who is not looking for intermediate yield. Who values the discount at purchase and the recovery of full ownership at term — with no fees or exit tax tied to the mechanism itself. Who values simplicity: no rental management, no uncertainties during the usufruct.

The detail that changes everything: who holds the usufruct

What makes the mechanism solid is who holds the usufruct for those 15 years. On Aristide, it is ADNOVA. We carry the rental risk, the maintenance, the management — out of our own funds.

What is called, in finance, skin in the game.

This changes the nature of the product for the bare-owner. They do not buy a contractual promise from a usufruct holder whose identity they would only discover at signing. They partner with the developer who designed, built and delivered the building — and who carries its economic performance for 15 years.

Construction risk is behind us

A classic off-plan bare-ownership scheme combines two risks: construction execution and usufruct holding over 15 years. If the developer fails midway, the client ends up alone facing matters they never signed up to manage.

On Aristide, the building is delivered. Occupied. The residual risk for the bare-owner is marginal: no construction risk, no potential usufruct default (we are here), no rental uncertainty over 15 years.

It has long been one of the most sought-after addresses in the Tours area. The calm of a commune that has kept its heritage, the proximity to a regional metropolis (Tours centre is 10 minutes away by tram, Paris-Montparnasse is 1h07 by TGV, easily reached from London via Eurostar plus TGV), and the access to good schools have made it a typical choice for established families and for new arrivals from Paris.

Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire, but not just anywhere in Saint-Cyr

An address is only as good as its precise location and its build. Some new developments display the Saint-Cyr postcode but stand in the immediate vicinity of major roads or business zones. They benefit from the code, but their setting bears little resemblance to the image of the “Saint-Cyr” of 19th-century villas and lime-tree-lined streets.

Others are well located, but the build quality and finish level do not live up to the implicit promise of the commune’s name. The address is what it is, but the development does not meet the standard one would expect at that address.

This is why a notary, a wealth advisor or an estate agent familiar with the Tours area, before recommending a programme, will always go back to two questions: where exactly is it in the commune, and how is it built?

At an equivalent address, the price difference between two new developments rarely reflects intrinsic value alone. It often reflects choices the buyer cannot see at signing: insulation thickness, double or triple glazing, type of joinery, sound insulation between flats, materials of common areas, fittings included as standard. These hundreds of euros per square metre that separate a cost-controlled programme from one designed to hold up for thirty years are real choices made upstream.

The relevant question, for the buyer, is therefore not which programme is the cheapest — the price grid answers that. The question is: at this price level, what will I not have in the cheaper programme opposite, and what would I have in a higher-end one?

Who buys in Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire in 2026

Three buyer profiles regularly meet on new developments in the commune.

Tours-area families. Tours executives, liberal professions, local business owners looking to settle or to move closer to a residential setting without leaving their professional network. They tend to look at three- and four-bedroom apartments with a garden or large terrace.

Buyers from Paris or Île-de-France. The proximity of Tours by TGV — and the easy onward reach from London by Eurostar plus TGV — makes a remote-working life on the Loire perfectly viable. The same buyers are sometimes international families drawn to the Loire Valley.

Downsizing couples. Owners of a large family house in Saint-Cyr or in nearby communes who want to release a home that has become too large without leaving their roots. A new flat, single-level or with a lift, in a leafy setting close to their habits, becomes a natural solution. No loss of neighbourhood, gain in comfort, controlled service charges.

These three profiles have one thing in common: they do not settle for the administrative label. They choose the precise location within the commune and look at build quality before signing.

Why new-build, and not a renovation in Saint-Cyr?

Buying new in Saint-Cyr means choosing a regulatory and contractual framework that does not exist in older stock. The ten-year warranty covers construction defects for ten years, the perfect-completion warranty addresses apparent defects during the first year. This framework does not exist in older properties.

The possibility of bare-ownership. For buyers with a patrimonial logic, certain new developments open the option of acquiring the bare-ownership only, with a discount upfront, while the usufruct stays with ADNOVA on its own funds. At the extinction of the usufruct, the buyer recovers full ownership. This structure does not suit every project and is examined with a wealth advisor.

Construction quality and finish levels — choices that are made upstream and only show up in detail once you compare programmes in person — have a cost upstream that shows up downstream. That, to us, is what matters when you sign a Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire address — not to take it for granted, but to earn it through the location, the construction, the fittings, and the price that makes these standards possible.

Why is a French property developer featured in a magazine aimed at expatriates in Dubai? Because investing in France does not need to wait for your return — and we decided to reach out directly to French nationals living abroad, to introduce our developments and our way of working.

ADNOVA promotion in two sentences

ADNOVA promotion is an independent French property developer, active across Western France and the French Riviera. With 20 years of property development experience and 23 developments delivered since the company was founded 13 years ago, we design, build and market human-scale residences, from studios to four-bedroom apartments, for private buyers, patrimonial investors and wealth management advisors — and now, directly, French nationals living abroad.

Why we reach out to expats

Buying property in France from abroad calls for organisation: appointments to fit around time zones, the choice of rental management once you become an owner, anticipating your return to France in 3, 5 or 10 years.

On all these points, we stay operational:

• A dedicated contact handles your file from A to Z. No transfer to another department, no need to re-explain at every call.
• Video meetings scheduled in your time zone, no constraint.
• Coordination with your notary and your wealth advisor if you already have them.
• Buyer modification works (TMA) handled remotely: your home adapted to your specific requests before delivery.

Which developments suit an expatriate project?

Depending on your goal, two of our current residences match typical expatriate projects:

Ornella, Antibes / Juan-les-Pins — a new residence on the French Riviera, ideal for a premium rental investment or a second home in a Mediterranean town. Lemon Secret address, terrace views over the Antibes bay, two-bedroom to four-bedroom apartments, delivery scheduled — currently being marketed.

Aristide, Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire (Loire Valley) — a residence delivered and occupied, still available for sale. Immediate move-in, no construction wait. Suited to a bare-ownership acquisition, a rental investment, or a deferred main residence.

And what about after your return?

Many cross-border property projects are prepared with a 3 to 10-year lead time. With rental management, we are working on long cycles that fit naturally with an expat life plan.

If you buy as a rental investment, your property generates income during your time abroad. If you buy as a deferred main residence, you recover a new home, with no renovation needed, ready to move into when you return to France (subject to the standard tenant notice period if currently rented).
