Within a company, changing offices can be complex. Indeed, each stakeholder of the company (Employees, Employers, Investors) have different needs regarding their offices. For example, the employees of a company will prefer the accessibility of the workplace or the multitude of amenities in the vicinity. As for the employer and/or investors, they will be more sensitive to the costs of renting the office or the possibilities of adding positions in case of development of the company. Thus, to satisfy everyone's needs, companies often look for a location close to their former offices.
With high prices that can reach more than 800€/m² per year, the search for new offices in Paris becomes strategic and is often part of a long-term logic.
With our partner Spliit, we have reviewed 5 Parisian districts that are popular with companies!
5. 8th arrondissement - Secteur Étoile
An emblematic district of the capital and of Parisian luxury, this sector is mainly sought after by law firms, consulting firms, but also by large luxury houses and investment funds. It often offers high quality Haussmannian buildings and is easily accessible thanks to the many metro lines that cross it (Lines 1, 2, 6, 9, 13 and RER A). Consequently, the average rent is very high (approximately 615€/m² per year). As for amenities, the Étoile district has many shops and restaurants. The downside is that prices are often higher than the Parisian average.
Average rent : 615€/m²/year

At the crossroads of the 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th arrondissements, the République district is very interesting because of its great accessibility (more than 6 metro lines) but also because of a very dynamic nightlife. Thanks to an average rent of about 500€/m²/year, the République district is ideal for a young startup in development!

3. 17th arrondissement, the Monceau district
The Parc Monceau is one of the most beautiful parks in the Parisian capital. It is also a very popular place for employees to have lunch. This district is one of the most sought-after for liberal professions such as lawyers, doctors but also accounting firms thanks to the standing of the numerous Haussmannian buildings which characterize it. From a transport point of view, the 17th arrondissement is less well served than other districts due to its distance from the centre of Paris.

2. 2nd district: the Sentier
Formerly a textile production district, this sector became, in the 2000s, the district of French Tech and startups specializing in new technologies, thanks in particular to the early arrival of fiber optics and very high speed internet.
This revival is also due to a very lively district with a multitude of restaurants and bars such as the famous rue Montorgueil. As for the accessibility of the Sentier, it is more limited than the other districts presented because of the numerous one-way or pedestrian streets.

In addition, there is a wide variety of shops, thanks in particular to the large number of department stores and shopping malls installed in the district.
