Far more than a simple storage facility, the site now hosts an innovative concept that combines retail space, an optician\u2019s, a restaurant, a petrol station and a range of services that offer users an enhanced experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve this transformation, GSE carried out a major refurbishment over 26,000 m\u00b2, including internal demolition, the renovation of technical installations and bringing the building into compliance with international standards, notably those of COSTCO, while three shops were operating the whole time in the adjoining shopping arcade. GSE also modernised the car park and outdoor areas.

Applied on a macro-logistical scale, this philosophy takes on a crucial environmental and strategic dimension. Building the infrastructure behind this sector is no longer simply a matter of stacking cubic metres beneath a concrete envelope: it involves designing a holistic, sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
