Development Management

Assembly was founded in 2018 as MARK’s in-house development team of construction and development experts. Assembly has already managed close to €3 billion of projects, covering around 135,000 sqm of commercial and residential space across Europe. The team specialises in transforming underperforming urban assets into vibrant mixed-use destinations.

Flagship projects delivered for MARK-advised funds include:

TOKO (Paris): Conversion of the former Yahoo headquarters into a co-living and co-working destination, acquired by La Française and DWS in separate transactions.

Grand Opera (Paris): Redevelopment of a former five-star Marriott hotel into a mixed office-retail complex, acquired by Pontegadea.

In addition to its work with MARK, Assembly has delivered repositioning and development strategies for a range of institutional and private investors seeking specialist urban regeneration expertise.

Led by CEO Jean-Charles Equoy, Assembly has secured a robust pipeline of ground-up and urban repositioning projects and is now widening its scope to include purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and logistics. The platform will continue to expand its pipeline by partnering with third-party capital providers looking for a best-in-class development manager with deep pan-European capabilities.
