About Kaufman & Broad SA

Kaufman & Broad SA is a leading French real estate developer specialized in the design, development, marketing, and delivery of new-build projects. Its core business is residential property, including apartments and single-family homes, but the group also operates in commercial real estate, offices, logistics platforms, serviced residences, and selected mixed-use schemes. Its business model is vertically integrated, covering the full project lifecycle from land sourcing and planning to sales and delivery, with a strong emphasis on user quality, environmental performance, and local market adaptation. The company was founded in 1957 by Eli Broad and Donald Kaufman and entered the French market in 1968. It delivered its first house in the Paris region in 1970. Since then, Kaufman & Broad has built a strong position among France’s top property developers, supported by a nationwide footprint and a gradual diversification of its activities. The group presents itself as a disciplined operator focused on controlled growth, financial strength, and ESG commitments, which helps differentiate it in a cyclical sector highly exposed to financing conditions and regulatory trends. From a commercial standpoint, Kaufman & Broad develops collective housing, individual homes, serviced residences, and tertiary assets. Its commercial property division includes offices and logistics platforms, with a pipeline spanning assets under marketing, construction, and study, illustrating the company’s increasing diversification beyond residential development. The group also reports a housing backlog and the number of active residential programs, key indicators of future revenue visibility in the sector. Kaufman & Broad operates across France, with a particularly strong presence in major metropolitan areas and high-growth regions. Its reference documents highlight meaningful regional market shares in new housing, confirming its broad geographic coverage and ability to address multiple demand pools. The company also enjoys a solid reputation with both customers and the market, having recently received awards for service quality and corporate responsibility. Another notable differentiator is that the group states it is the only European developer with an Investment Grade rating, underlining the strength of its balance sheet and financing profile.
