(AOF) – Capelli has announced the appointment of Grégory Gaume as Associate Managing Director Center East. He was previously Regional Director Rhône-Alpes in Lyon for the real estate group Ogic. In his new position, Grégory Gaume will be responsible for developing the property developer’s activity in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (excluding Savoie and Haute-Savoie) and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
He will also have the role of ambassador of the Capelli Group, with the mission of continuing to structure a network that is both dense and effective, and of maintaining relations with all external stakeholders (elected officials, institutions, etc.) .
To support its growth and engage its operational directors, the Group is rolling out a new model in France. All of the regional subsidiaries will thus become entities to which the regional directors of each agency will be associated. “This new approach guarantees a strong alignment between the group and its teams in order to meet the ambitions of the management”, emphasizes Capelli.
A graduate of a DUT in Civil Engineering, Grégory Gaume has 26 years of experience in the fields of construction and real estate, particularly in Rhône-Alpes, where he has completed almost all of his professional career.

Property companies facing a less buoyant office market
In 2021, take-up (areas rented or purchased by users) in Ile-de-France remained 22% below its pre-health crisis level (2.38 million in 2019), despite the rebound (+ 32% , to 1.85 million) committed in the second half. It fell back to its 2013 level, far from the 2017 record (2.63 million). On the other hand, in the last quarter of 2021, the immediate supply (stock of empty offices) was at its highest for seven years, at 4 million square meters. The impact of teleworking is difficult to assess and it will be spread over several years, as leases expire (firm terms of three, six or nine years) and companies decide to move. This asset class nevertheless has the advantage of offering rents protected from inflation by indexation. In France, the ILAT index (Index of Rents for Tertiary Activities) takes into account inflation (50%), construction costs (25%) and GDP.
