Since September 10, a substantial real estate program has been built in Carcassonne. In the Sabatier residence, two buildings are currently constructed. They should be able to accommodate around a hundred residents.
The number of inhabitants in Carcassonne seems to be increasing. According to demographic data made available by INSEE, between 2015 and 2021, the Aude capital went from 45,996 administered to 46,218 for an average density per inhabitant per km2 which moved from 706.8 to 710.2. If the change appears slight, it nonetheless remains present.
Faced with this increase, the real estate sector is showing itself to be active. With housing estates and other homes emerging from the ground. This is particularly the case for a construction project for two buildings currently under construction in the Sabatier residence. An ambitious file since 49 collective housing units are planned on site once the work is completed as well as commercial premises.
These accommodations will therefore mainly be aimed at small families.
Caroline Hermet, head of the works department at Marcou Habitat, the project owner, reveals more behind the scenes: “On the scene, interventions began on September 10. There was a period of preparation in advance in order to define a precise road plan. In mid-December, an important step was taken since the pouring of the foundations of one of the two buildings have been carried out.” According to initial estimates, the project should last 21 months, i.e. in June 2026.
Who will these homes be for? Caroline Hermet clarifies this with transparency: “To all those in the sector.” In detail, all of the apartments present will be T2, therefore two rooms “the main one consisting of the living room and bedroom as well as the separate kitchen”gives the head of the works department as an example of a disposition. “These accommodations will therefore be mainly aimed at small families. I am thinking mainly of couples.” Which means that in total, these two buildings will be able to accommodate more than 100 people.
The commercial premises will be installed on the ground floor so that residents can have access to local commerce. “We wanted to integrate it in addition to housing to boost the local economy. I can already announce it, it is planned that a company from the sector will take place there once the construction site is completed “concludes Caroline Hermet.
