This crane which points into the Villeneuve sky is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated. Ten years after the closure of the Clinique du parc, demolished in 2019 by the Cassany municipality to promote the future of the site, the 5,000 m² plot, ideally located between the city center and the Eysses district, is under construction. It began in December 2023 and should last until the first quarter of 2026. Not later, insisted the mayor, keen to inaugurate it before the end of his (first?) mandate.
Associated with Nexity, the Aegide group has embarked on an XXL project. The future senior services residence, whose management will be entrusted to Domitys, will have 109 furnished and equipped accommodations, from T1 to T3, “adapted to aging well”, as well as a space of 900 m² of premises dedicated to various services: a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, wellness area, laundry, concierge service…

He is free to use the services area or not. » When presenting the progress schedule for the operation, the general director of the South-West promotion of Aegide-Domitys is rather confident: “It is a project which pleased the investors, which went well marketed. »

Reservations in September 2025
In September 2025, logically, the reservation phase will open to future tenants, who will be able to visit the show apartments. The amount of rents, to date, has not been completely determined, assures Géraldine De Matos Bessa, commercial representative for Domitys in the South-West.

“Thank you for choosing Villeneuve. It’s a plus for the city, a plus for our seniors and a plus for the commercial dynamism of the Eysses district,” said the mayor, Guillaume Lepers, recalling his first electoral campaign. “It’s a wasteland that harms the image of the city. We set ourselves the goal of removing them all. We are not far from it. Also, while going door to door, I met a lot of elderly people, in good shape, but wanting to get closer to the city center. The large house with garden and swimming pool, with age, can become cumbersome to manage…”

Guillaume Lepers, however, assures that no new permit will be signed until further notice for a new senior services residence. “We went from zero supply to full supply. » The first of its kind, Api Résidence, has 91 accommodations. It opened its doors on 1er March on the edge of Saint-Cyr Park. A second, carried by Edelis, emerges from the ground on Avenue du Général-Leclerc. Called Les Jasmins, with 78 housing units, it should open this year.
