Dunkirk arena. VINCI Concessions signed a
partnership spanning 27 years with the
Dunkirk urban community in October 2012
for construction and operation of the future
Dunkirk arena. This stadium, which caters
for a wide variety of events thanks to a
modular configuration welcoming from
1,200 to 10,700 spectators, will host two
user clubs (the USDK handball club and the
BCM basketball club) while also serving as
a new entertainment and cultural venue for
Dunkirk and the surrounding region.
The project accounts for a total investment
of €112 million. The works, to be carried out
by VINCI Construction France in partnership
with local companies, will start in 2014
and are expected to last 36 months.
Stadiums in operation
Allianz Riviera, Nice. The first of the two
new stadiums to be completed by VINCI
Concessions in the run-up to the Uefa Euro
2016 championship, the Allianz Riviera was
opened in September 2013. Built in the
record time of 25 months, it employed all
VINCI’s business lines under the programme
management of Nice Eco Stadium,
the VINCI Concessions subsidiary responsible
for building and subsequently operating
the infrastructure under a 30-year
partnership contract. The adjacent 30,000
sq. metre shopping centre to be developed
by VINCI Immobilier and Adim (VINCI
Construction France) will add to its
attractiveness.
The Allianz Riviera, which has 7,000 sq.
metres of solar panels, is the first energypositive
stadium to be completed for the
Uefa Euro 2016. It stands out for its ambitious
architecture, designed by Wilmotte &
Associés, and the translucent lattice-work
timber and steel structure enveloping the
stadium. It features open, fluid spaces and
many services: themed catering areas,
3G-4G connectivity (25,000 simultaneous
connections possible), and more. The operating
model is based on diversifying income
streams generated on top of the resident
club matches (OGC Nice): Toulon Rugby Club
matches, concerts, big shows, corporate
events and partnerships, including the
naming contract with Allianz. With a
seating capacity of 35,000 (42,000 in concert
configuration), the Allianz Riviera welcomed
more than 250,000 spectators during the
first three months of operation in 2013.
Stade de France. This stadium was the
Group’s first experience in managing large
multi-purpose venues. Operated by a consortium
in which VINCI Concessions has a
67% interest, it hosted 25 high-profile and
varied events (football, rugby, athletic meets
and concerts) that attracted a total of
1,600,000 spectators in 2013. Highlights of
the year included the signature of two agreements:
one with the French government,
1.6 million
