A MESSAGE FROM AUDE GRANT,
SFL’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“Through a combination of high standards, expertise and sustainability, we are creating the real estate of tomorrow.
We passionately believe that the quality of living and working spaces has an impact on human interaction. This belief underpins our mission to design spaces that will still be relevant and desirable fifteen or twenty years from now, with the support of the best internal and external experts. These considerations, which concern a range of different aspects such as the building’s service areas, its aesthetics and its multi-use capabilities, are taken into account from day one of the design process to achieve the best balance between comfort and environmental impact.

As the benchmark player in its market, SFL has developed unique expertise in prime real estate, based on a commitment to excellence, constant curiosity and an ability to foresee future trends. Today, this approach enables us to satisfy increasingly sophisticated expectations and ensure that all our projects meet the highest standards of workmanship.”
