La Roche-sur-Yon: a Napoleonic town with great real estate potential

The commune of La Roche-sur-Yon, which is subject to the B2 scheme of the Pinel law, has a high property potential.

10 programmes were marketed in La Roche-sur-Yon in 2018, mainly located in the Pentagon, near the Courtaisière university site and near the railway station.

4 building permits for collective housing were authorised in 2018, corresponding to 200 new homes. They are located in the Pentagon, around the station and in the La-Bourg-sous-la-Roche district on Rue du Général Guérin.

Prices for new-build apartments in the city centre in this student town reach €3500 per square metre.

Around the Pentagon, three priority neighbourhoods benefit from a 5.5% VAT rate: Jean Yole - Pyramides, Liberté - Zola and Vigne-aux-Roses, which is part of the new national urban renewal programme.

The plots around the René-Couzinet airfield, classified as zones A and B, will be unbuildable except for real estate dedicated to aeronautical activity.

Thetown has been occupied since prehistoric times, but it was Napoleon who brought about its development under the First Empire. This Napoleonic town in the Vendée, which is home to the largest Napoleonic urban sector today: the Pentagon, is entirely in a zone of presumed archaeological prescription, and requires an archaeological diagnosis before any construction.

Costs of compliance with standards linked to environmental constraints to be taken into account

Plots located on underground cavities in the town centre and quarries concentrated near the Ornay, Yon and Riaillée rivers will require a cost of soil safety before construction.

Most of the city is built on clay soil and requires additional construction costs.

With a termite infestation rate of up to 50% in La Roche-sur-Yon, a diagnosis and possibly a termite control treatment operation will be required.

Nearly one in ten plots of land in La Roche-sur-Yon is polluted or potentially polluted and adds to the cost of carrying out a study or even a clean-up of the sites before construction. These plots are mainly located in the town centre, along the boulevards de l'Industrie, Maréchal Leclerc, and the streets Roger Salengro, Gutenberg and Olof Palme.
