An expert developer serving low-carbon reindustrialization
With the redevelopment of a 250 Ha industrial-port brownfield site in Fos-sur-Mer (13), the GROUPE IDEC offers an overview of its expertise in land development adapted to the major challenges of low-carbon reindustrialization. Complete decontamination of this former petrochemical site, respect for diversified environmental issues (maritime and land), multimodal strategy, the IDEC GROUP, with its subsidiary FAUBOURG AMENAGEMENT, makes Fos-sur-Mer (13) a showcase for establishing large green industries: ELYSE ENERGY, MARCEGEGLIA, GRAVITHY.
Your ally for organizing local territories
We define the initial attributes of your future development project based on:
- Territorial planning guidelines specified in the SRADDET (Regional Plan for Development, Sustainable Development, and Territorial Equality).
- The SCOT (Territorial Coherence Plan).
- The PLUI (Intermunicipal Local Urban Plan) or the PLU (Local Urban Planning Plan).
- Territorial development needs.
- Environmental and societal issues.
We also guide the study based on your locality’s needs for housing, businesses, offices, business premises, facilities, and public spaces. We develop a master plan based on local planning guidelines. This is with the aim of achieving:
- A coherent ZAC (Combined Development Zone) or subdivision project.
- Preparing subdivision plans to obtain a planning permit.

Our offers: Land Development
Economic development of territories
Working with local authorities, we work to revitalize high-value areas by creating new living and working spaces. We contribute to sustainable urban development and the creation of a dynamic and diverse ecosystem: developing cities and improving uses for residents and businesses. Our team of professionals works to this end by optimizing the building potential of each plot of land.
Land sobriety
Because the economic development of territories must not come at the expense of the ecological transition and resource preservation, urban planners are responsible for:
- Limiting artificialization: Enforcing the ZAN (Zero Net Artificialization) law and rehabilitating brownfield sites on the outskirts of cities. This law aims to limit construction on natural or agricultural land and to introduce nature into cities to offset their urbanization.
- Reducing the human footprint on land by controlling urban expansion (optimal use of existing real estate).
- Protecting biodiversity and preserving agricultural land.
Sustainable land use planning
The development of future urban spaces must be a long-term process. We anticipate the development of your program, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental aspects of your geographic area. Through preliminary studies, we assess the environmental impact of each of your real estate projects.

Energy installations
Our subsidiary IDEC ENERGY makes every effort to support you in the realization of your real estate project while aiming for carbon neutrality. We are able to coordinate the decarbonization of the development process, regulations, and the use of renewable energy during our operations. Urban developers tend to adopt an approach that integrates the notions of medium- and long-term sustainability. To fully ensure land use efficiency, we conduct an energy review upstream. This allows us to define a label or certification such as:
- AEU2 or environmental approach to urban planning.
- The EcoQuartier approach.
- HQE Aménagement certification.
- The Sustainable Cities and Territories Framework or RFSC.

Our methodology
Search for spaces with high added value
Our urban planners seek out attractive and competitive spaces, such as city centers or the outskirts of major metropolitan areas. These areas offer a high quality of life, job opportunities, and optimal tourist appeal for their developer clients.
Application of the ERC sequence
Our team of urban planning specialists applies the ERC (Avoid-Reduce-Compensate) approach during the design phase of your real estate project. Implementing the ERC approach is part of preserving natural environments.
Acquisition of land, authorizations and planning permits
The professionals in the Faubourg Promotion sector are responsible for obtaining planning permission to begin work on your real estate project on the ground as part of land development.
