La Première Brique Launches Commercial Real Estate Investment
La Première Brique is expanding its French crowdfunding platform to include commercial real estate rental investments. Starting June 3, 2026, individual investors can contribute as little as 1 € to fund operational commercial assets, receiving monthly rental income instead of relying on the completion of construction or renovation projects.
How does La Première Brique’s commercial real estate offer work?
The platform is opening a market historically reserved for institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals to the general public. This new service allows individuals to invest in commercial properties located in high-activity zones, occupied by recognized brands.
Through a partnership with real estate expert MyVesta, the platform identifies and structures investments in operational assets. These projects span several sectors, including retail, fitness, food, catering, and health.
Investors can enter with a minimum of 1 € and face no entry fees. Unlike previous models, these assets generate immediate rent, which is redistributed to investors on a monthly basis.
Why is this a shift from the traditional crowdfunding model?
Most real estate crowdfunding focuses on promotion or renovation projects. This “patrimonial” approach instead targets existing, functioning buildings, which removes risks associated with construction delays or obtaining building permits.
Thomas Danset, co-founder of La Première Brique, stated that this is a “natural evolution” for the platform. He noted that the goal is to move beyond simply financing operations to providing a more complete investment approach that meets saver expectations for regular income.
According to Danset, the objective is to make investment “comprehensible, accessible and compliant” with the need for visibility and regularity in returns.
What are the details of the first commercial operation?
The inaugural project launches on June 3, 2026, focusing on a 982 m² commercial space. The property is located within the Résidence Fontaine shopping center in Saint-Cyr-l’École (Yvelines).
The space is currently operated by Fitness Park, a major player in the accessible fitness market. La Première Brique aims to collect a total of 634,000 € for this operation.
The investment duration is set at five years. The target yield for the first year is 6.1%, with a total objective of 31.5% over the five-year period.
What happens next for the platform’s growth?
La Première Brique is developing a secondary market to increase flexibility. This would allow users to sell their investments during the life of a project, reducing the traditional long-term immobilization of funds.
The company has set aggressive collection targets for this new commercial product. It aims to collect 25 million € in 2026 and 75 million € in 2027.
These steps are part of a broader strategy to build a comprehensive range of solutions covering various classes of real estate assets.
