GRAND DIJON HABITAT - OFFICE PUBLIC DE L'HABITAT

With almost 11,000 housing units, GRAND DIJON HABITAT has become Dijon Métropole's leading social landlord over the decades. Originally created by the city of Dijon in 1926 to build the first emergency housing estates, the social landlord is now over 90 years old. For several years now, its territory of action has been that of the agglomeration, and it is present in 14 of the 23 communes of the Dijon metropolitan area. Since the health crisis, GRAND DIJON HABITAT has worked to improve the relationship between the landlord and its tenants, by setting up a reception service with priority given to appointments.

A constantly evolving range of rental accommodation:

New rentalunits are offered - Every year, around 150 units are commissioned. In 2024, a number of new developments are expected, including 79 units in Terrot Town, 70 units in the Garden State development along the Avenue de Langres tramway line, and 25 units in the Charmette - Varennes - Maupassant residence. At the same time, the 30 homes in the Jacques Martinet residence in the new Arsenal district, to be delivered in early 2023, will feature shared roof gardens.

Eco-rehabilitation. GRAND DIJON HABITAT has been eco-rehabilitating its older properties for several years now. In the Fontaine d'Ouche district, the eco-rehabilitation of the Franche-Comté block continues. a total of 102 homes are now connected, benefiting from innovations such as heating data analysis. GRAND DIJON HABITAT wants to go even further by focusing on innovation and experimenting with collective self-consumption. By the end of 2024, an additional 1,000 homes will be eco-renovated at Fontaine d'Ouche. By 2027, 80% of GRAND DIJON HABITAT's pre-1980 housing stock will be eco-rehabilitated. For the time being, 83% of the landlord's stock has a label between A and D, compared with 68.6% nationally.

A European first. Together with Dijon Métropole, GRAND DIJON HABITAT has signed up for the prestigious European H2020 call for projects. In 2024, two buildings on the Franche-Comté block will benefit from solar panels, generating self-consumption for the entire block. The energy generated by this solar production will be re-injected into the common areas of the 6 buildings on the block, enabling tenants to save on charges. Work is starting on the Franche-Comté block, which will be testing out new connected services in the coming years. A total of 377 homes are potentially concerned by these innovations.

In addition, the public office is one of the 5 pilot landlords in France to experiment with the integration of digital architecture in an existing building. This will enable the deployment of solutions and services capable of facilitating homecare for the elderly and improving the residential tranquility of tenants. These major eco-rehabilitation projects will make a tangible improvement to the energy performance of GRAND DIJON HABITAT's portfolio, and at the same time reduce tenants' costs and boost their purchasing power.
