The Caserne Jacques Vion is a former fire station in the Saint-Cyprien district of Toulouse, France. Built in the 1970s, the complex was designed by architect Pierre Debeaux and is recognised for its distinctive architectural character. It received the “Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable” label in 2019 and was listed as a historic monument in 2023. 1
The station served the Haute-Garonne fire and rescue service from 1988 until it closed in 2025, following an operational reorganisation. After a consultation lasting more than a year, the City of Toulouse selected Sporting Promotion and VINCI Immobilier to redevelop the site. The project’s architects are Coldefy and APGO. 12
The redevelopment aims to retain the site’s layout and architectural features while opening it to residents and visitors. The one-hectare complex is planned as a mixed-use destination, with housing, workspaces, food services, sport and cultural activities arranged around a landscaped central courtyard. Plans include the conversion of the former garage into a restaurant, coworking space in former offices and workshops, a sports facility in the old gymnasium, and performances and conferences in the auditorium. 12
The city’s project page specifies 96 refurbished apartments in the existing 12-storey building and about 25 new homes in a separate building; it also identifies housing for healthcare workers in the former Officers’ building. 1 The official page states that construction began in April 2026, while the site is also hosting occasional events during the works. 1
