Citystar is focused on the energy, technology and real estate sectors, with an emphasis on the energy transition and circular economy.
Real Estate assets and operations in France
In France, as a Real Estate investor and operator, we target both value-creating projects and investments providing returns over the medium-to-long term. We are a regular operator of Real Estate developments or property trading projects (principally housing and offices buildings renovations), in close cooperation with long term partners. We also have stakes in public Real Estate companies.
Real Estate investments in Asia
Citystar has been successfully applying its expertise in Real Estate investments and operations in South-East Asia since 2005. We principally invest in Cambodia:
- We invested in plots in Phnom Penh city center.
- Our funds own magnificent beaches in the spendid Ream / Sihanoukville region, and beach concessions on two islands.
- Finally, building up on our hospitality experience in France and in Asia, we conducted the development of the Koh Russey Villas & Resort complex, which we now operate. It is a hotel and luxury villas on the paradise island of Koh Russey.
Our Cambodian investments are managed in close cooperation between our Paris headquarters and our Singapore and Phnom Penh subsidiaries.
