LaSalle Investment Management has signed a 12 year firm lease with DCNS, a European provider of naval defence systems, for the 12,349 square metre Le Viala property located in Paris’ 15th arrondissement, 42 rue du Docteur Finlay. 

The property was handed over to LaSalle French Fund II in October 2009 after a complete re-build undertaken by BNP Paribas Immobilier and Ogic as co-developers.
 
The property is one of the first Parisian buildings to undertake HQE Construction certification, which recognises environmentally friendly construction projects in France. 

LaSalle Investment Management is now undertaking HQE Exploitation certification (the equivalent for property operations) with the cooperation of DCNS through the use of a green lease.

The parties were advised by BNP Paribas Real Estate.
