An exceptional EDIFIM
Located in the heart of Aix-les-Bains, facing the Town Hall Square and just a few steps from the historic thermal baths, Villa Thermale is being reborn with a new brilliance. Initially an iconic hotel in the city, the establishment had ceased operations for three years before being taken over by EDIFIM (https://edifim.fr/), a major player in real estate development in the region. The project was designed as a tribute to the local architectural heritage, with a complete reconstruction of the building, remaining faithful to its original style while integrating modern standards of comfort and sustainability.
A refined real estate development that elevates the past with modernity
Villa Thermale is a project that aims to preserve the identity of Aix-les-Bains while meeting the modern expectations of its residents. Thanks to the involvement of local stakeholders, this development is part of a sustainable and heritage-conscious approach, breathing new life into the city center.
Comprising a four-story building, Villa Thermale offers high-end apartments where history meets modernity. The residences feature generous living spaces with private outdoor areas, as well as impressive ceiling heights ranging from 2.70 to over 3 meters. Every detail has been carefully designed to provide optimal comfort, including high-performance thermal and acoustic insulation, premium materials, and bright living spaces. A rooftop terrace, exclusively reserved for residents, creates a convivial setting with a panoramic view of the surroundings.
The interior design of the communal areas has been entrusted to L’Effrontée (https://l-effrontee.fr/), a local interior designer known for seamlessly blending elegance with historical respect. Additionally, she offers personalized support for buyers looking to customize their private spaces according to their preferences.
A strategic and historic location
The rue Davat district, where Villa Thermale is located, is undergoing a remarkable transformation. As part of an urban revitalization initiative, this area boasts an ideal location: local shops on the ground floor, municipal services relocated nearby, and a protected green setting with an adjacent garden listed under the AVAP (Architectural and Heritage Enhancement Area). Villa Thermale perfectly integrates into this renewal effort while paying tribute to the rich heritage of Aix-les-Bains.
A project led by heritage experts
The Chambre & Vibert architecture firm (https://chambre-vibert.com/), renowned for its large-scale heritage projects, was chosen for the architectural design. Based in Chambéry for many years, the firm brings its expertise and sensitivity to historical preservation. EDIFIM, a key local developer for over 20 years, prioritizes quality and durability in all its projects. Notably, EDIFIM’s future offices will also be located in Villa Thermale, further highlighting its deep commitment to this landmark project.
Expected completion by late 2025
Construction is progressing according to schedule, with the delivery of the apartments set for the last quarter of 2025. A three-bedroom unit (T3), starting at €692,000 (lot 301), exemplifies the excellence of this program, offering far more than just a residence—it is a living space deeply rooted in history yet oriented towards the future.
