Istres: a historic city that attracts land developers

Subject to the Pinel law A scheme, the town of Istres offers a very high property potential.

20 new property developments are being marketed in Istres in 2018, mainly located in the town centre and around the Palio arena.

New property prices in Istres reach 4600€ per square metre for a studio in the town centre.

5 building permits are authorised in this Bouches-du-Rhône commune in 2018, mainly around the Etang de l'Olivier, for collective housing, equivalent to 213 new homes, and individual housing.

The Le Prépaou priority neighbourhood, located between Avenue Raymond Filippi and Avenue Félix Gouin, benefits from a 5.5% VAT rate.

Occupied since the Palaeolithic period and located near the Gallic oppidum of Castellan, almost the entire commune of Istres is placed in a zone of presumed archaeological prescription.

Some land in the commune of Istres requires additional construction costs due to environmental factors

About forty plots are located on quarries or underground cavities and a real estate operation on these plots will require a cost of making the land safe.

Almost the entire municipality is underlain by clay soil, which implies an additional construction cost for any building project.

With a termite infestation rate of between 25% and 50%, a property project must include the cost of a termite survey or even a termite control treatment.

Around one hundred properties are located on polluted or potentially polluted soil and require a study or even soil decontamination. They are mainly located around the Etang de l'Olivier and on either side of the N569.
