Rental income of €54.4 million in the first quarter of 2026

In the first quarter of 2026, ARGAN, the leading French real estate company specializing in the development and rental of PREMIUM warehouses, reported rental income of €54.4 million, up +3% compared with the same period of the previous financial year. Growth in the first quarter was mainly driven by the full-year impact of deliveries completed in 2025, supplemented by rent indexation (+0.6%) as of January 1, 2026.

On this basis, and taking into account the 2026 delivery schedule, ARGAN confirmed its annual target of a +4% increase in rental income in 2026, to at least €220 million1.

Back to an occupancy ratio of 100%

In the first quarter, ARGAN announced a return to a 100% occupancy rate across its portfolio, following the lease to JS LOGISTICS2 of 32,000 sq.m previously vacant at the Le Coudray-Montceaux site (Greater Paris area).

In a national market where the vacancy rate exceeds 6% (source: CBRE), this performance is notably driven by the Group’s decision to internalize property and asset management functions. This organization ensures proximity to clients and therefore represents a key success factor.

Two deliveries in the first quarter of 2026

In February 2026, ARGAN delivered, as planned, its first two projects intended for: 

  • PUMA, in the logistics area of Vendenheim (67), for a surface of 42,000 sq.m. Historically present in the Grand Est region, PUMA is occupying this new site near Strasbourg, which is leased under a long-term contract with a firm term of nine years; and
  • POMONA, for an extension creating 1,300 sq.m of new area dedicated to negative cold storage in Valenton (94). This completion was an opportunity to extend the lease for a fixed period of 12 years.

€165m secured investments to date for 2026

The secured investment pipeline for 2026 amounts to €165 million, with an average total yield exceeding 6%, of which €140 million is scheduled for delivery before June 30. Within this 2026 pipeline, acquisitions account for nearly €120 million of investments.

In chronological order, the six remaining deliveries scheduled over the coming months of 2026 are intended for:  

  • CELIO, for a new 12,000 sq.m extension, with delivery scheduled for May 2026, bringing the total surface area of the Amblainville site (60) to 55,000 sq.m. This development will also reduce the site’s CO₂ emissions by a factor of four, thanks to the conversion of the entire site to the AutOnom® label. This new phase also marks the start of a new commitment under a firm 10-year lease.
  • FERRERO in Normandy, the historic hub of the Italian group’s operations in France. The first site, in Cléon (76), is expected to be delivered in June, with a total surface area of 34,000 sq.m, followed by a second site in Barentin (76) in early July, with a surface area of 20,000 sq.m. These two deliveries will mark the commencement of long-term leases with firm terms of 10 years for each site.
  • DANONE, for a new AutOnom® site in Sorigny (37), in the immediate proximity of Tours, with delivery scheduled for June 2026. The new facility will comprise 8,200 sq.m, including 6,400 sq.m of positive cold space (2–6°C) and 800 sq.m of office space, under a fixed 9-year lease.
  • ID LOGISTICS, on behalf of Intermarché, in Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules (42), near Saint-Étienne. The project involves the conversion of approximately 15,000 sq.m of ambient storage space into cold storage within a warehouse exceeding 50,000 sq.m. On this occasion, the lease is extended for a fixed term of 9 years, starting from the delivery scheduled for September 2026.
  • Jacky Perrenot, in Béziers (34), for the development of a 5,700 sq.m Aut0nom® site, with delivery expected in October 2026. Located in the fast-growing ‘Béziers Ouest’ business zone, this project will mark the beginning of a firm 6-year lease.

These achievements, in a context of economic slowdown and geopolitical uncertainty, demonstrate the relevance of ARGAN’s model, notably driven by AutOnom®, the warehouse that produces its own energy for self-consumption. They also mark the addition of four major new clients to ARGAN’s portfolio.
