Rental income of €105.8 million in the 1st half of 2025
In the 1st half of 2025, ARGAN, the leading French real estate company specializing in the development and rental of PREMIUM warehouses, recorded a rental income of €105.8 million, up +8% compared with the same period of last year. The sustained growth in the first half came primarily from the full-year impact of 8 deliveries in 2024, mainly in the second half of the year, as well as rents indexation (+3.45%) on January 1, 2025.
On the back of first-half achievements, ARGAN confirmed its annual target of a +6% increase in its rental income in 2025 to €210 million1, which takes into account the negative impact of asset sales in the second half of 2025.
Two new sites already delivered in the 1st quarter of 2025
Note that ARGAN pursued its inaugurations as part of a sustained development plan for the two coming years, including two deliveries already concluded in the first quarter of this year:
- A new logistics site for DIMOLOG, a new brand of the DIMOTRANS group, in Bain-de-Bretagne (35), close to Rennes, whose business is from now on operated in 3 newly delivered cells, as part of an Aut0nom®-labelled asset, for 19,500 sq.m.
- More exceptionally, ARGAN continued its support initiated in 2021 to a former employee for the development and financing of a farming company named “Les tomates des frères Besnard”, taking the form of an extension of an organic and eco-responsible greenhouse located in Eure-et-Loire (28).

Around €200 million targeted investments for 2025-2026, while maintaining full speed towards debt reduction
ARGAN is confirming an increase of its investments over 2 years (2025 and 2026) by augmenting the volume of investments over the period compared with the initial plan announced early this year.
The current development plan includes 10 secured projects (notably the ones delivered in Q1 2025), all pre-let to blue-chip clients – leading their respective sectors – including 2 acquisitions that represent around 50% of total investments.
By year, these investments are split as follows:
- 2025: over €55 million with three new self-development projects and one extension;
- 2026: close to €115 million with two new self-development projects, two extensions and
two acquisitions.
ARGAN also announced today the company will not pursue plans to acquire a third warehouse as initially programmed for 2025, following results of the due diligence process.
Our company is still targeting an investment volume of around €200 million over 2025-2026 and is thus committed to complete already secured investments with an additional amount of
€30 million, with many opportunities being currently evaluated as part of discussions at advanced stages.
As previously announced, the average yield of investments for 2025 and 2026 is about 6%. These achievements, on a backdrop of sluggish economic environment, testify to the relevance of ARGAN’s development model, notably driven by Aut0nom® , the ‘in-use’ net carbon zero warehouse.
In accordance with its strategy that combines growth and debt reduction, ARGAN will self-finance its 2025-2026 developments through cash flow generated by its operations and a program of selective asset disposals. The amount of net cash targeted as part of the 2025-2026 asset sales program is now €135 million, vs. €180 million previously, with the sale of a portfolio being targeted by end of 2025.
ARGAN is thus confirming it is maintaining full speed towards debt reduction by targeting an LTV ratio below 40% and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of around 8X by the end of this year.
