Paragon continues to pursue its value-creation strategy through targeted acquisitions. The latest: Romanel Centre, a shopping mall well known to Lausanne residents, located along a major traffic axis. Partially vacant, the site represents a promising opportunity, with significant potential for repositioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Romanel Centre presented an unusual profile: some vacancy, of course, but enormous potential thanks to its strategic location<\/em>,” explains Yan Grandjean, CIO of Paragon. “We structured the acquisition with our banking partner in order to secure the necessary investments to restore the site’s full value<\/em>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n Located just outside Lausanne, with excellent road access and a densely populated catchment area, the center offers strong fundamentals for a successful repositioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vincent Leroux, Head of Capital Markets of CBRE French-speaking Switzerland and advisor to the seller, praised the quality of the process: <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Paragon acted quickly and profesionnally. Collaboration between the parties was smooth. I’m pleased to see this iconic regional property gaining a new lease on life to better serve the local community<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Claudio Sani, Head of Acquisition and Sale French-speaking Switzerland at SPS, the priority was to find a buyer capable of supporting an ambitious project while ensuring disciplined operational management: “Paragon quickly demonstrated a deep understanding of the site\u2019s potential. Our exchanges were constructive, and the deal was closed within an optimal timeframe<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arthur de Rivoire, Head of Asset Management at Paragon and project lead, outlines the roadmap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We\u2019re addressing structural shortcomings, particularly by improving access to upper floors. Current and prospective tenants are actively involved in discussions, each contributing to the new energy we aim to bring to the site<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Redevelopment began during the acquisition phase, with a clear goal: to enhance the customer experience while meeting the needs of tenant businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Mike Wolfson, CEO and founder of Paragon, this acquisition perfectly reflects the group\u2019s DNA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The acquisition of Romanel Centre illustrates our approach: identifying underutilized assets, transforming them, and creating lasting value with all stakeholders.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n Paragon continues its value-creation strategy with the acquisition of Romanel Centre, a well-known shopping center among Lausanne residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16230,"template":"","format":"standard","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/transaction\/16229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/transaction"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/transaction"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/transaction\/16229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16759,"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/transaction\/16229\/revisions\/16759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paragon-sa.ch\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}“Smooth Collaboration Between the Parties”<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
