Commercial real estate Paris : full guide 2025
Paris Commercial Real Estate: Complete Guide to Find, Transfer or Invest
Paris has 58,700 shops in 2023, the highest density in the world with a store every 42 meters (source: Knight Frank). This dynamic market saw a 5.7% increase in the average selling price of a business in 2024 (€258,314, Altares / Bpifrance) and a surge of 239% in retail investment volumes in the first quarter of 2025 (Savills). Yet, behind these figures, transactions often remain slow, opaque, and risky. That's where the Groupe Point de Vente comes in, a specialist in Paris commercial real estate since 2010.
The Problem: An Opaque and Fragmented Market
The commercial real estate sector suffers from a lack of transparency. Generalist agencies neither master the specifics of commercial leases (3-6-9 lease, leasehold rights, liquor license IV, PMR/extraction standards) nor the valuation of business assets. Result: unreliable estimates, sales dragging on for months, legal risks, and missed opportunities.
Main identified problems:
- Opaque market: Finding the right location or buyer can take months without a specialized network.
- Uncertain valuation of a business, leasehold rights, or walls.
- Slow and legally risky transfers (lease, liquor license IV, ERP/PMR standards, collective proceedings).
- Lack of a real-time qualified buyer database.
The Solution: Expertise of Groupe Point de Vente and PDVCONNECT©
The Groupe Point de Vente is a specialist in commercial real estate in Paris and Île-de-France, founded in 2010 (SAS Mickael Kurtis, RCS Paris B 528 942 485, capital €100,000).

It has a proprietary artificial intelligence tool, PDVCONNECT©, which connects its 9,000 active mandates and a database of over 145,000 qualified buyers in real time.
