Saint-Denis is changing, and fast! For a long time, it was stuck with some pretty cliché ideas, but today the city shows a completely different face: lively, creative, and connected to the rest of Greater Paris. It’s in this context that the CAPS is launching Les Traversées, a project designed to help low-income households become homeowners… without leaving their community.
So, what exactly is social homeownership?
Behind this somewhat technical term lies a real opportunity. The CAPS is a cooperative for social homeownership, meaning it exclusively builds new housing aimed at households eligible for specific tax programs, like the BRS (Bail Réel Solidaire).
The principle? Separate the land from the building to drastically reduce the purchase price. Result… : housing up to 25% cheaper than the market, a reduced VAT, waived notary fees, and a starting price designed to make transitioning to property ownership smoother. In short, a true gateway to real estate purchase, without compromising on quality.
Confluence Sud, the vibrant neighborhood in Saint-Denis
Located in Confluence Sud, between Île Saint-Denis and the canal Saint-Denis, the project enjoys a strategic location : right at the foot of the RER station in Saint-Denis, with Châtelet just 15 minutes away and Gare du Nord only 8 minutes.
The neighborhood, once industrial, is undergoing a major transformation at the heart of a vast ZAC. The promise? New local shops, schools, and green public spaces. The banks of the canal have been transformed into walkways, bike paths, and pedestrian zones. Just a 10-minute walk away, 6B offers a rich array of exhibitions, concerts, and events. Just like Saint-Ouen a few years ago, Saint-Denis is becoming a new hotspot.
metropolitan lifestyle. Yes, really.

Les Traversées: a project that ticks all the boxes
From 2 to 5 pieces, Les Traversées offers thoughtfully designed housing meant to last: balconies or terraces for everyone, green roofs, and above all, a 750 m² landscaped heart of the block, a true shared garden right in the city. The architecture fits perfectly into the urban renewal of the neighborhood, focusing on light, outdoor spaces, and comfort of living. But the real gem of the project is its DNA: vibrant, connected, green, and accessible. A proof that becoming a homeowner in Saint-Denis today is truly a clever bet on the future.
