01.
Start a Project
Two types of opportunities allow UTILE to start a project: the identification of potentially available land or a financial contribution.
In most cases, the donation of land or a grant equivalent to 10% of the total value of a project is sufficient for UTILE to bring together other financial partners and carry out the project.
The transfer or sale of land.
A donation or loan of money.
Transform the opportunity into a project:
Find a property (where the starting point is financial)
Perform due diligence
Carry out technical feasibility studies
Prepare the financial package and assess the financial viability
Proceed with approvals and fundraising
02.
Design and Construction of the Building
Three fundamental principles guide UTILE in the realization of a project, from the design of the building to the opening of its doors:
Maximize affordability
Respect the needs of the student market
Limit the environmental impact
The UTILE team is involved in all stages and ensures the smooth running and deployment of projects.
03.
Building Management
UTILE owns the projects it develops. By taking charge of the day-to-day management of operations, the organization limits financial risks and the level of investment required for its development partners, in addition to ensuring compliance with high quality standards. It therefore undertakes to:
Lead the tenant selection process and have the leases signed
