The Bon Pasteur block, near the Porte d’Aix in Marseille, concludes a twenty-year transformation, integrating renovated and new housing, shops, and green spaces to revitalize this historic area.

Located in the Porte d’Aix district, the Bon Pasteur block, once characterized by severely degraded housing, has undergone an intervention by Euroméditerranée aimed at renewing the neighborhood while preserving its identity. This project combines the rehabilitation of old buildings with the construction of new, energy-efficient housing.
The operation, managed by Erilia, includes 109 housing units, 21 of which are for social ownership, and 8 commercial spaces. The residences were delivered in January 2026. This project aims to diversify housing options, restore vitality to the district, and improve residents' living conditions.
Prior to the completion of the new housing, Euroméditerranée undertook significant work including land acquisition, rehousing, commercial evictions, demolitions, and site preparation. The Public Development Establishment invested 4.6 million euros of its own funds in this development project, representing approximately 15 million euros, with 7.6 million euros financed by ANRU.
This transformation exemplifies Euroméditerranée's role in complex urban projects, bringing together partners to achieve developments beneficial to residents. Bon Pasteur thus marks a new chapter in Marseille's evolution, one that cares for the existing city, renovates housing, preserves heritage, and enhances daily life.
