Foncière des Régions and Suez Environnement:agreement in principle to lease
42,000 sq. m in the CB 21 Tower at La Défense

"This transaction is excellent news for the office market and it confirms the
attractiveness of La Défense to leading companies."

Christophe Kullmann, Foncière des Régions' CEO

Foncière des Régions is leasing 42,000 SQM of office space to Suez
Environnement in the CB 21 Tower at La Défense, Europe's premier business
district. This transaction will be finalised once the current period of
consultation with Suez Environnement's employee representative bodies.

The property is centrally located and well served by public transportation. It
will be completely renovated by Foncière des Régions, offering the same level
of service as a new property.

CB 21 two-thirds pre-leased with continued letting of the spaces still available
and set for delivery in 2010
Foncière des Régions has adapted the initial plan for the CB 21 Tower to meet
the needs of a major tenant. The property is being completely renovated, but the
25,000 sq. m extension for which a building permit was obtained in September
2008 will not be built.

The tower's complete renovation, with an area of 75,000 sq. m SHON (68,000 sq. m
usable floor space), allows a new property to be delivered in two parts: one at
the end of 2009 and the second in the course of 2010. This is ahead of the
originally scheduled delivery date in 2011.

In addition, the redevelopment of the CB 21 Tower makes it a candidate for HQE
Exploitation (a High Quality Environmental standard certification).

Foncière des Régions, property partner of leading companies
For Foncière des Régions, this lease agreement is the continuation of its
European real estate strategy in partnership with major tenants (Suez
Environnement, following France Telecom, Accor, EDF, Dassault Systèmes and
Eiffage). Their expertise enables them to offer economical and energy efficient
office spaces to meet the needs of leading companies seeking flexible solutions
in order to optimise services.
"Foncière des Régions is now more than ever attentive to the property needs of
major tenants. We continue to offer property solutions adapted to their
operating assets and operational challenges," said Christophe Kullmann.
