Amouroux halls redevelopment in Toulouse, Digi Mart USA News (Toulouse, France): Launched in 2018 and presented as “an accelerator of the metropolitan area’s transformation,” the “Dessine-Moi Toulouse” call for projects selected 15 sites to be transformed through private developers working with residents. Eight years later, the results are very uneven, as few projects have ultimately materialized.
In the northeast of the Pink City, the former Amouroux halls are among the few that will be completed.
Abandoned since 2016, the former factories, once used to manufacture agricultural machinery and later to store costumes for the Capitole theater, are set to be revived. Following the building permit granted in 2025, the group formed by LP Promotion and Nexity is now well advanced on the construction site.
At the end of Rue Jeanne Fontès, machinery was at work on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
One of the two halls still standing has been demolished. “We bought the land in March, and the concrete hall, which had no heritage value, was demolished,” Christophe Brochet, general director for Nexity’s Midi-Pyrénées region, told Actu Toulouse.
He added that the project required a strong architectural commitment: the historic wooden hall will be preserved and rehabilitated, while the concrete hall was demolished.
Brochet said the preserved wooden hall, which was used to store Capitole theater sets, will be converted into a space with a restaurant section, a section for shops, and a section reserved for artisanal activities. The Bellevilles real estate company, already present at the Halles de la Cartoucherie and involved in the planned halls of the Guillaumet district, has partnered with the Nexity-LP Promotion group.
The hall dedicated to commerce and crafts is designed for artisans seeking small spaces, as well as for merchants. Work on this hall has not yet begun; Brochet said the developers are waiting to make progress on leasing before starting construction.
The building that will replace the demolished hall will be a residence of 175 homes. “We cover the full residential path and have focused on quality of use, with about twenty adaptable homes.
During the life of the apartment, the owner can change its layout without tearing everything down. 75% of the homes will be dual-aspect,” the general director said.
The project includes social housing, rental housing under social usufruct, and intermediate rental housing. For homes marketed under the BRS scheme by Promologis and Toulouse Métropole Habitat, prices will range from 120,000 euros for a T2 to 225,000 euros for a T4.
Under the “Dessine-Moi Toulouse” call for projects, the Amouroux halls operation aimed to create a new urban center and bring renewed attention to a neighborhood of Toulouse that had been somewhat forgotten.
The redevelopment is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2029, according to the provisional schedule for the entire operation.
