Gaulnes industrial park: real-estate (set-up and relocate)

With a direct connection via the A46 to the entire highway network, the prime attraction of the proposed expansion of the Meyzieu-Jonage Industrial Zone is its accessibility:

• Lyon is 30 minutes away
• the Lyon-Saint Exupéry International Airport just 10 minutes away
• the site will be an ideal location on the Paris-Marseille road via the connection to the A432 (in the very short term)
• the bypass east of Meyzieu will provide a showcase for businesses
• public transit network:
  • T3 tram (access to downtown Lyon in 30 minutes) and,
  • as of 2011, the fast Leslys line will connect to Lyon in 20 minutes and Lyon-Saint Exupéry in 5 minutes

The existing Meyzieu-Jonage industrial zone houses nearly 200 companies on nearly 200 hectares that generate more than 5,000 jobs.

Extending it over a total area of 137 hectares will allow it to accommodate a wide variety of industrial, scientific and service sector businesses.

The land is divided:

• into lots of 5,000 m² to 15,000 m², or
• into plots of several hectares.

Call for proposals to operators

In 2009, two operators will be chosen to create

• a business park on a holding of 6.6 hectares and
• a mixed-use business park on 6 hectares

Another proposal will focus on:

• creating a 5 hectares reception and service area for carriers.

Services to employees

• inter-company restaurant,
• health center,
• meeting room,
• and soon a day care center and other services...

A landscaped environment of 15 hectares will host the technical facilities of the Industrial Park. It will provide an open-air link (pedestrians/cyclists) between the north and south of the Meyzieu-Jonage IZ and in the direction of the T3/Leslys station.

The SERL (developer of the site) and Greater Lyon are working together to defend a new business concept through sustainable design of buildings, particularly by encouraging the use of natural resources and reducing energy consumption.
