Opening new infrastructure growth through real estate
IDEX group (Hold by ANTIN INFRASTRUCTURE) illustrates how infrastructure capital can expand into new client segments by turning existing real assets into energy infrastructure platforms.
Key numbers (extract)
13,9 MWc+ Solar Roof installation on existing warehouse (biggest project in France)
20 MWc+ multi site solar projects with AMUNDI REAL ASSET industrial real estate portfolio
2,7 MWc+ solar installation on a speculative logistic project with a real estate developer
Energy transition creates a second infrastructure layer on existing real assets.
Evidence
• ESR / Amiens: ~13.9 MWc - strategic advisory with international Real Estate & Infra funds
• Amundi: ~20 MWc + EV charging - multi-asset program.
• Scannell / Atton: ~2.7 MWc - business origination.
• SunWave: extension of the same real-estate / energy interface as board advisory
What this demonstrates
• Strategic advisory at the real estate / energy interface.
• Business origination and partner access.
• Ability to translate two different investment models into one executable project.
Testimonium
IDEX Group
"I worked with Christophe for nearly two years on the launch of a solar photovoltaic offering for real estate companies and developers, and more broadly as part of the development of a new growth activity within the Idex Group.
Throughout this period, Christophe demonstrated remarkable tenacity in addressing the complex challenges inherent to this category of real estate players and to entering a new market, including both technical and contractual adaptation requirements. His extensive experience in real estate, particularly in the logistics sector, enabled him to successfully bring the opportunities entrusted to him to completion, while also helping the team build its expertise and maturity.
His ability to listen closely to clients and consistently place their needs at the heart of the process ensured that the solutions developed addressed the specific constraints of our partners. His contribution also played an important role in successfully positioning Idex in what was, at the time, a new market for the Group."
