CoopImmo is a Paris-region housing cooperative that develops affordable homeownership, mainly in Île-de-France, through regulated schemes such as social home purchase and long-term land leases. It operates as a subsidiary of the public social landlord IDF Habitat and builds around 200 homes per year.
The organisation traces its roots to a HLM cooperative founded in Champigny-sur-Marne in 1954. In 1970 it became a Société Coopérative de Location-Attribution called “Champigny Résidence”, shifting towards homeownership and management of housing. IDF Habitat relaunched its activity in 2005 under the name CoopImmo, with a focus on controlled-price new-build housing and social access to ownership.
Today CoopImmo is described as one of the leading producers of PSLA (Prêt Social Location-Accession) homes in Île-de-France and the first producer of BRS (Bail Réel Solidaire) homes in the region, with more than 500 dwellings engaged under this land-lease model. Its projects cover most of the Paris region, in cooperation with local authorities and other HLM organisations.
The cooperative is a member of the national Coop’HLM federation and of the Coopérative Foncière Francilienne, the main solidarity land trust in Île-de-France, which develops BRS operations. It also supports participatory housing: since 2014 it has accompanied groups of residents in projects in Vitry-sur-Seine, Ivry-sur-Seine, Montreuil, Malakoff and La Verrière, and has worked on a 17-unit cooperative housing project in Paris’s 20th arrondissement.
CoopImmo is led by director general Manuel Laforest and structured around development, construction, sales and customer-relations teams.
