Synthèse Exécutive
Mulhouse currently offers one of the most technical spreads in France between acquisition prices and rental value. With sqm prices around €1,200 and rents aligned with cities priced at €2,500/sqm, the financial mechanics are straightforward.
However, this market does not tolerate amateur execution. Headline gross yields hide sharp disparities. Without precise address selection and owner-grade renovation, vacancy penalises results immediately.
We do not sell narratives, but constructed performance. Mulhouse is an arbitrage market for investors who understand that low rents are not a risk, but an opportunity when combined with renovation.
Rental demand is structural (cross-border workers, students, active professionals) but has become highly selective. Only premium assets capture tenant solvency.

Our approach in Mulhouse is execution-driven: selection, renovation framing, coherent furnishing and consistent leasing standards.
Property typologies we support in Mulhouse
In Mulhouse, we focus on typologies that are easy to operate, aligned with rental demand, and compatible with controlled renovation.

Local market specifics in Mulhouse
In Mulhouse, disparities between districts, buildings and condominiums are significant. Outcomes depend more on micro-location and initial condition than on the city overall.
Rental demand exists but is selective. Well-designed, well-renovated and well-presented assets lease; average products face competition.

- Framing: objectives, arbitrage criteria, constraints and execution plan.
