Paris, France
France publishes every Paris sale with its address and price under an open licence, but never the buyer: a name costs EUR 12 per building by written request to the Service de la publicité foncière, and the bulk owner file is reserved to public bodies.

Can you find out who owns it?
France keeps two records and opens them unequally. Prices are open: the DGFiP's Demandes de valeurs foncières (DVF) file lists every notarised sale of the last five years with date, price, street address, cadastral parcel and floor area, under the Licence Ouverte 2.0, refreshed each April and October and wiped and replaced each time; its terms forbid re-identifying individuals and forbid letting the rows be indexed by search engines. Owners are not open: the open cadastre (cadastre.data.gouv.fr) carries parcel geometry and identifiers with no names, and the DGFiP's owner file (MAJIC, the Fichiers fonciers) is released by Cerema only to public bodies. Anyone, 'toute personne physique ou morale', may nonetheless learn who owns a given building by filing form 3233-SD with the Service de la publicité foncière for the arrondissement: the 2026 notice prices it at EUR 12 per building (or per person) named in the request, answered within ten days and free by e-mail. Paris here means the Ville de Paris and its twenty arrondissements; La Défense is outside it.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

| Westfield Forum des Halles 101 porte Berger, 75001 Paris (1er) |
Retail | Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield URW's portfolio lists 'Westfield Forum des Halles, Paris, France' among its 78 assets and its asset page states: 'Renovated in 2016, the shopping centre is characterised by its striking canopy', is 'home to ... the most-visited cinema in Europe, along with public cultural facilities including a library, music academy, and hip-hop centre'. No floor area, stake or land tenure is stated on the page, and no price: the owner is known only because a listed SIIC names its own asset. URW's other Paris-proper asset on the same list is Carrousel du Louvre (1er); Westfield Les 4 Temps is in La Défense, outside the Ville de Paris. |

| 35-37 avenue Montaigne 35-37 avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris (8e) |
Retail | Kering-Ardian joint venture (Ardian 60%, Kering 40%) Ardian 60%, Kering 40% Ardian's release of 15 January 2025 states: 'This portfolio comprises Hôtel de Nocé, located 26, place Vendôme, and two buildings located on avenue Montaigne, at 35-37 and 56. Kering is contributing these assets to a newly created joint venture. Ardian ... will hold a stake of 60% in this unique prime real estate portfolio, Kering retaining 40% of the ownership. Net proceeds for Kering will amount to €837 million.' Kering's stated purpose: 'securing exceptional retail locations for its Houses for the long term'. Kering's own newsroom paths 404, so the counterparty's release is the citation. DVF 2024 shows a EUR 255,000,000 sale at 42 avenue Montaigne (27 Jun 2024): a different building. |
Private equity | EUR EUR 837M net proceeds to Kering for the 60% sold, across three buildings 2025-01 Ardian press release, 15 Jan 2025: three assets contributed to a new JV; closing expected Q1 2025. Price is for the portfolio, not this building alone. A |
| Hôtel de Nocé 26 place Vendôme, 75001 Paris (1er) |
Retail | Kering-Ardian joint venture (Ardian 60%, Kering 40%) Ardian 60%, Kering 40% The eighteenth-century hôtel particulier on place Vendôme, named in the Ardian-Kering release of 15 January 2025 as the first of 'three highly prestigious real estate properties in Paris' contributed by Kering to the joint venture in which 'Ardian ... will hold a stake of 60% ..., Kering retaining 40%'. The release gives no per-building value and no floor area. The place Vendôme sits in the 1er arrondissement; the owner is a Paris-registered vehicle whose name the release does not give, so the JV is recorded as the owner and its two shareholders as the stake. |
Private equity | EUR EUR 837M net proceeds to Kering for 60% of a three-building portfolio 2025-01 Portfolio price shared with 35-37 and 56 avenue Montaigne; Ardian release 15 Jan 2025, closing expected Q1 2025. A |
| 3 place de l'Opéra 3 place de l'Opéra, 75002 Paris (2e) |
Office | Gecina SA Gecina's office portfolio page lists '3 place de l'Opéra, Paris (75002), Office' in its 'sample of our office buildings' alongside nine other named Paris addresses: 10-12 Vendôme (75001), 16 Montmartre and 35 Bd Capucines (75002 and 75009), 20 Ville-l'Evêque, 36 Naples and 41 Montaigne (75008), 32 Guersant (75017) and 27 Canal (75019). The same page states the portfolio context: 'our €14.8 billion in holdings', 'Our office portfolio covers more than 1.2 million sq.m, 81% are located in Paris/Neuilly.' No per-building area, price or acquisition date is published on the page; Gecina is a SIIC, so the asset list is an investor disclosure rather than a register entry. |

| Édouard VII 16-30 boulevard des Capucines, 75009 Paris (9e) |
Mixed use | Société Foncière Lyonnaise (SFL) SFL's 'Our assets' page lists 'Edouard VII, 16-30, boulevard des Capucines, 75009 Paris, Offices / Retail' among sixteen named assets, fifteen of them inside the Ville de Paris: 103 Grenelle (7e), 131 Wagram (17e), 90 and 92 Champs-Élysées, Cézanne Saint-Honoré, Washington Plaza, Haussmann Saint-Augustin and the Champs-Élysées Gallery (8e), Condorcet (9e), Louvre Saint-Honoré at 2 place du Palais-Royal (1er), Pasteur and Biome (15e), Scope at 68-74 quai de la Râpée (12e) and #cloud.paris (2e); only 176 Charles de Gaulle is in Neuilly. The page gives space to let (e.g. Scope 23,000 m²) but no total area, value or price per building. SFL is majority-held by Inmobiliaria Colonial. |

| Tour Eiffel Champ de Mars, 5 avenue Anatole-France, 75007 Paris (7e) |
Civic | Ville de Paris The Chambre régionale des comptes d'Île-de-France's report page (communicable 10 October 2025) states: 'Avec 6,3 millions de visiteurs en 2024, l'exploitation commerciale de la Tour Eiffel constitue un enjeu pour la Ville de Paris qui en est propriétaire. Le monument est exploité sous forme d'une concession d'exploitation, d'entretien et de modernisation, attribué pour 14 ans (jusqu'en 2031) à la société d'exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE), une société publique locale majoritairement contrôlée par la Ville de Paris.' — the City owns it; SETE operates under a 14-year concession to 2031. The operator's own site (toureiffel.paris) returns 403 to automation. |

Mixed use | Not established a paid title search would answer it The largest mutation in the 2025 Paris DVF file: a single sale of 19 November 2025 at EUR 695,000,000 covering 18 appartements, 15 locaux commerciaux and 10 dépendances at these two addresses in the 16e. DVF gives the date, price, address, parcel and lot structure — and no party. The owner is therefore unknown to this record and knowable to anyone for EUR 12: a form 3233-SD naming the immeuble to the Service de la publicité foncière de Paris. Quoted as a single stated fact from an open-licence file; the file itself is not mirrored here because its terms forbid search-engine indexing of the rows. |
Not established | EUR EUR 695,000,000 2025-11-19 DVF valeur foncière for mutation of 19 Nov 2025 (nature: Vente), per-département file 75, release of 7 April 2026. Parties are never recorded in DVF. A |
| Samaritaine 9 rue de la Monnaie, 75001 Paris (1er) 20,000 m² of retail floorspace |
Mixed use | LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH's Maison page states: 'Samaritaine had to close in 2005 for safety reasons. The LVMH Group decided to launch an ambitious renovation project', '20 000 sq. meters of floorspace, including Europe's largest beauty retail space', and '2021 Samaritaine reopens after completion of an exceptional renovation project'. The page describes the group as the Maison's parent and renovator rather than stating title in so many words; the second source for the complex is Paris Habitat's own site, which lists 'La Samaritaine (1er): Du logement social au cœur de Paris' among its programmes — the social-housing part of the block is Paris Habitat's. Hence tier B: the store is LVMH's, the block is split. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Paris is the rare city where every sale is public and every owner is private. The figures below are read or computed from the per-département DVF file for Paris (75), released 7 April 2026 under the Licence Ouverte 2.0 — a single open file in which the 2025 vintage alone carries EUR 30.8 billion of consideration and not one buyer's name.
Sales recorded in Paris, 202540,382 ventes (40,811 mutations)
Computed from the Etalab geo-DVF file for département 75, 2025 vintage, release of 7 April 2026; mutations dated 2 Jan–31 Dec 2025. The 2024 file holds 36,154 mutations (35,644 ventes).
Total consideration, 2025EUR 30,841,832,085
Sum of valeur foncière over all 2025 ventes in the 75 file, one value per mutation. 2024: EUR 25,076,417,967.
Median price per m², single-apartment sales, 2025EUR 9,720/m²
Computed over 9,653 ventes whose only lot is one appartement with a recorded surface réelle bâtie of 9 m² or more (values outside EUR 1,000–60,000/m² excluded). 2024 on the same basis: EUR 9,550/m² over 8,505 sales. A computation from the open file, not a notaires' index.

Social housing financed by the Ville, 20253,927 logements in 120 programmes
opendata.paris.fr, 'Programmes de logements sociaux financés à Paris' (ODbL), summed by year: 2024 2,657; 2023 3,035; 2022 3,373; 2021 4,364; 2020 2,908; 2019 5,723; 2018 6,257. Only 6,683 of the 20,264 units financed 2020–2025 were construction neuve; 7,973 were acquisition-réhabilitation and 5,608 acquisition-conventionnement of existing buildings.

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
New homes in Paris are overwhelmingly a public-sector affair: the Ville de Paris finances two to four thousand social dwellings a year and names the bailleur for each programme in an open ODbL dataset, so the city's housing producers can be ranked from a public record — something no French private-builder league table allows. Three landlords controlled by the Ville (RIVP, Paris Habitat, Elogie-Siemp) took 14,908 of the 20,264 units financed in 2020–2025; and two-thirds of 'financed' units were existing buildings bought and converted rather than built. The national promoteurs sell new flats in Paris but report only France-wide reservations.
| Name | Type | Paris social units financed 2020–2025 (stock managed) |
|---|---|---|
| RIVP — Régie immobilière de la Ville de Paris A société d'économie mixte of the Ville de Paris. opendata.paris.fr sums 9,179 financed units for 'RIVP' in 2020–2025, the most of any bailleur; its own site states 'la RIVP gère plus de 66 000 logements à Paris et en Ile-de-France'. |

| Elogie-Siemp 'Bailleur social de la Ville de Paris, construit, réhabilite et gère un patrimoine de près de 30 000 logements à Paris et en banlieue' (its own site). 2,921 Paris units financed 2020–2025 in the ODbL file. |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Because no register names a Paris owner, the commercial landlords that can be named are the ones obliged or inclined to name themselves: the listed SIICs and the funds that issue press releases. Gecina and SFL are the two Paris-centric office SIICs; URW holds the two big covered shopping assets inside the city; Ardian now holds the controlling stake in Kering's avenue Montaigne and place Vendôme flagships. Floor areas are portfolio-wide where that is all the company states.
| Name | Type | Portfolio as stated |
|---|---|---|
| Gecina SA 'our €14.8 billion in holdings ... Our office portfolio covers more than 1.2 million sq.m, 81% are located in Paris/Neuilly' (office portfolio page), with ten named Paris addresses in the sample list. |

| Société Foncière Lyonnaise (SFL) Every asset is named with its street address and arrondissement on its 'Our assets' page — Édouard VII, Louvre Saint-Honoré, Washington Plaza, #cloud.paris, Scope, 90 and 92 Champs-Élysées among them. Controlled by Inmobiliaria Colonial. |
REIT | 15 named buildings in Paris, 1 in NeuillyA |
| Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Westfield Forum des Halles (1er) and Carrousel du Louvre (1er) on its portfolio page; the page states no floor area. Les 4 Temps is La Défense, Carré Sénart is Lieusaint — neither is Paris. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The owner of the EUR 695 million Trocadéro sale of 19 November 2025 and of every other DVF-recorded sale: resolvable for EUR 12 each by form 3233-SD, but no request was filed.
- Tour Montparnasse (15e): held in co-ownership through the Ensemble immobilier Tour Maine-Montparnasse, whose site would not connect; no owner is asserted.
- Whether URW's Carrousel du Louvre is held freehold or under a concession from the State or the Louvre — the pack said 'managed under concession'; URW's page does not say, and nothing opened confirms it.
- A Paris-only reservation or delivery count for Nexity, Bouygues Immobilier, Kaufman & Broad, Vinci Immobilier or Altarea-Cogedim; their public pages give France-wide or cumulative figures only.
- Housing starts and completions for the Ville de Paris from Sitadel: the SDES landing page is a 404 and the data.gouv.fr catalogue surfaces only the 1999-2008 Sitadel files.
- Covivio's Paris floor area; the group states European totals only.
- The Cerema Fichiers fonciers API (apidf) reported 503 to the scout; not retried here — the Cerema page states the product is for 'structure publique' applicants.
- A quotable anti-scraping clause from SeLoger, Leboncoin or PAP: all three CGU pages return 403.
