From December 9 to 11, 2025, Paris will once again host SIMI Paris, the country’s reference real estate investment event. For the first time, the exhibition moves to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Pavillon 1, the largest single-level hall at the venue. Property professionals, investors, municipalities and innovators will gather for three days of networking, conferences and awards.
A Marketplace for Real Estate Investment
SIMI Paris has established itself as a central meeting point for the French property sector. Each edition brings together a broad range of players: landlords, asset managers, banks, insurers, developers, architects, engineers and public authorities. According to the organisers, the 2025 edition will welcome over 450 exhibitors, underlining its scale and diversity.
The exhibition continues to focus on major themes shaping the market — sustainability, financing, regeneration and innovation — which dominate current debates in French and European real estate.
Conferences and Thought Leadership
The SIMI conference programme traditionally attracts senior executives, city leaders and policymakers. In 2025, sessions are set to address pressing topics such as the future of office space, retrofitting versus redevelopment, the growth of data centres and housing supply challenges. One highlight already announced is a session on office-to-residential conversion on 10 December at 14:00, reflecting one of the most important debates in European real estate.
SIMI Awards
A signature element of the fair is the SIMI Awards (Prix SIMI), which reward excellence in French real estate. Categories include offices, logistics and residential projects, as well as initiatives distinguished by sustainability and innovation. In 2025, the awards will again serve as a benchmark for quality and innovation in the sector.
Why Paris Expo Matters
The move to Pavillon 1 at Porte de Versailles provides more space for stands, lounges and themed networking areas. The venue is easily accessible via Metro Line 12 (Porte de Versailles, exit 2 directly to Hall 1) and Tramway T2 and T3a, and is connected to both Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports. The larger hall also allows expansion of innovation zones, enabling start-ups and proptech firms to showcase solutions directly to investors.
Networking Hub
Beyond the conference programme, SIMI Paris functions as a deal-making platform. Dedicated business lounges and meeting spaces allow investors to connect with municipalities, developers and financing partners. For public authorities, it is a stage to present regeneration projects; for investors, an opportunity to identify prospects across offices, retail, logistics, housing and proptech.

Market Context
SIMI 2025 takes place at a pivotal moment for European real estate. After two years of subdued investment caused by high financing costs and uncertainty, the sector is regaining momentum. Recent ECB rate cuts in 2025 have lowered borrowing costs and revived investor interest, particularly in logistics and residential segments. Institutional capital continues to flow into living assets such as student housing and senior living, while the office sector faces the challenges of ESG compliance and costly retrofits.
The Bottom Line
SIMI Paris 2025 will again set the tone for France’s property market, combining exhibitions, high-level conferences and awards under one roof. More than a trade fair, it remains the platform where investment, urban strategies and innovation converge — offering opportunities for the entire industry.
