Retail leasing & expansion · Investment · Real estate strategy

For more than ten years, he has advised French and international retailers, private owners, property companies and investors on their store openings, leasing and investment projects.

He is involved in setting the strategy, identifying counterparties, negotiating financial terms and coordinating transactions through to completion.

Expertise built in the field

Antoine’s practice rests on hands-on knowledge of the main high streets, their rental values, their owners and the expansion strategies of retailers.

This constant presence in the field allows him to assess each location beyond its physical characteristics alone: quality of footfall, retail environment, visibility, fit with the concept, rent sustainability and potential for value creation.

He supports retailers with first openings, relocations and roll-out strategies. At the same time, he advises owners on the positioning, marketing and re-letting of their assets.

A property, leasing and financial perspective

On investment transactions, Antoine analyses the quality of the location, the tenancy, the lease terms, the strength of the tenant, the rent level and the future liquidity of the asset together.

This combined reading enables him to support investors in identifying, analysing and securing their acquisitions, and owners in the valuation and sale of their retail property holdings.

His recommendations draw on transaction evidence, market data, close analysis of commercial leases and direct experience of negotiations.

Direct involvement in every transaction

Antoine remains personally involved in the key stages of the assignments entrusted to him: setting the strategy, approaching counterparties, leading negotiations and coordinating discussions between the parties and their advisers.

This involvement gives the firm’s clients a decision-making point of contact, continuous understanding of their file and the ability to adapt the strategy quickly whenever the transaction requires it.

From Aix-en-Provence, Antoine works regularly in the main retail markets of the South of France. He also supports the firm’s clients with multi-city searches and targeted transactions nationwide.
