Financière Saint James

Profile

Saint James Financial makes diversified real estate investments with a wealth vocation and financial equity investments in innovative companies in the digital and technology worlds.

The ambition of Financière Saint James and its president Michaël BENABOUis to create a real estate development company with a heritage vocation, to highlight the Parisian heritage and to contribute to the development of young French start-ups by helping them to develop.

Financière Saint James sees real estate as a value-creating industrial tool and currently holds, in addition to its 20% stake in the emblematic Paris Beaugrenelle shopping centre, investment real estate, office and residential buildings under redevelopment.
Grouped in Intramural Paris, or the very close suburbs of Paris, the assets of Financière Saint James are very diversified.

Passionate about beautiful stones, atypical constructions and emblematic buildings, Financière Saint James buys buildings to be redeveloped, where all the potential remains to be expressed, created and imagined. Surrounded by the most renowned architects and a very strong operational team, Financière Saint James masters the entire value creation chain of its operations.

Loyal to France and its pool of creators, Michaël Benabou also relies on Innovation, Technology and French creatives, investing in disruptive start-ups as diverse as they are promising, sharing his know-how and experience. Through his career, he knows the value of time and the weight of commitment. Also, the key word of these investments, as in real estate, is part of a long-term approach.

Each of our investments is experienced by our team as a human and strategic adventure, born from a meeting and a project led by men who dare and believe in the future. Our entrepreneurial temperament and passion for action constantly inspire us to find connections and bridges between our various investments. We favour commitments in the real economy rather than in the market economy.

Our human-sized but operationally very strong organization combines technical, financial, legal and administrative expertise that allows us to follow all projects with serenity and professionalism.
