Our Strategies
Four Value Creation Poles
Institutional execution discipline. An operational architecture calibrated for brown-to-green European datacenter transformation.
FINXIA Capital deploys its investment strategies across four complementary pillars, with a rigorous institutional approach. Our flagship strategy, TITAN Datacenter AI, targets the brown-to-green transformation of datacenter infrastructure in Europe, positioned to meet demand from tier-2 cloud operators, AI inference players and public administrations seeking digital sovereignty and decarbonized infrastructure.
This transformation relies on structured financing via ESG Green Bonds aligned with ICMA Green Bond Principles and the EU Taxonomy (Regulation 2020/852), enabling decarbonization financing without equity dilution. The approach combines acquisition of existing campuses, deployment of breakthrough energy infrastructure (high-efficiency cooling, heat recovery, on-site production), and ESG certification to create significant exit premiums.
In parallel, our Premium Hospitality and Flex Living Residential strategies (coliving, PBSA, build-to-rent) capitalize on the structural dynamics of European urban demand, with exits calibrated for Core investors. The C.CAPITAL division targets late-stage and discounted secondary opportunities, with a deliberately sub-5% conversion rate to maximize conviction on each position.
Structured as a Luxembourg SCSp with proprietary capital and no external fundraising, FINXIA Capital combines institutional discipline, deep sector expertise (institutional real estate, telecoms, AI) and structured financing (Green Bond + debt) to create sustainable value in European real assets.

TITAN DC AI — Sovereign European AI Datacenters
AI infrastructure needs a foundation. We transform it.
Strategy led by Lila Benhammou — CIO & architect of TITAN DC AI infrastructure.
Europe holds a massive stock of undervalued industrial assets — manufacturing brownfields, former automotive sites, first-generation warehouses — whose structural characteristics (technical slabs, high-density electrical connection, land footprint) make them directly convertible into next-generation AI datacenters.
The energy challenge is central: RTE, the French transmission system operator, has identified nearly 18 GW of datacenter demand on French territory, of which only ~15% is currently realized. The connection queue blocks 50% of new requests. In 2025, the French government identified 5 "fast track" sites to accelerate strategic projects. TITAN DC AI specifically targets already-connected brownfield sites, bypassing this structural constraint.
Digital sovereignty is imperative: 92% of Western data is stored on US soil. Generative AI, defense, healthcare, and European public administrations need sovereign computing infrastructure. France has a decisive advantage: an electricity mix that is 95% decarbonized and exports 20% of its production — making its territory a destination of choice for hyperscalers seeking carbon reputation. TITAN DC AI transforms this available energy into certified AI infrastructure, capturing the sovereignty and decarbonization premium.
Our Approach
- Target assets: 20-70 MW IT brownfield industrial sites in France, Spain, Italy and Northern Europe
- Cost advantage: significantly cheaper entry per MW than greenfield, reduced commissioning timelines
- Grid advantage: brownfield sites are already connected to the HV grid — bypassing the RTE queue which blocks 50% of new datacenter connection requests in France
- Tenants: European tier-2 cloud operators, AI inference players, public administrations, data sovereignty
- Target model: long-term NNN lease (10-15 years) · tenant commitment sought before or at commissioning · contractualized revenue conditioned on technical compliance
- Energy efficiency: IPMVP protocol, PUE target compliant with EU Taxonomy 8.1 and EED Directive (PUE ≤ 1.30 by 2027), independent certification planned for 2027
- Financing: own equity + senior amortizing debt + ICMA ESG Green Bond conditioned on PUE targets
AI Training Campus
Where we install datacenters, we create local jobs. Each TITAN DC site includes a training campus for young people aged 18-25 (no diploma required) on real equipment, with a hiring guarantee via our operator tenants — targeting 70%+ employment at 6 months, anchored in the site's territory.
Independent Energy Certification

Premium Hospitality
The structural resilience of an asset, the intelligence of an operator.
Strategy led by Jean-Pierre Véron — Chairman, 40+ years of institutional real estate.
The urban premium hotel segment generates RevPAR supported by international demand. JPV brownfield track record — expertise directly transposable to hotel repositioning: Centorial (former Crédit Lyonnais HQ from the 19th century, 47,000 sqm, Paris 9th arr. — heavy restructuring with Haussmannian façade and Eiffel glass dome listed as historical monuments, repositioned into a multi-tenant institutional tertiary platform); Coeur Défense (institutional operation on one of Europe's largest office complexes, 350,000+ sqm, Paris La Défense — repositioned into a premium multi-tenant platform with common areas and integrated services); Washington Plaza (former Shell Petroleum HQ, Paris 8th arr. — repositioning of an iconic 1970s corporate headquarters into a premium institutional tertiary platform).
The Finxia method: acquisition of under-optimized 4-5 star hotel assets in European tier-1 metropolises, brand repositioning in partnership with reference operators (Marriott, Accor, Hilton), and RevPAR stabilization over 24-36 months before selective rotation. Target return: value-add performance above European institutional benchmarks, core-plus operating profile.
The European premium hotel market posted 2025 RevPAR up +8.2% vs 2019 (pre-COVID), driven by international business travel and MICE demand. Paris, Barcelona and Madrid concentrate 60% of institutional hotel transactions >€50M in Europe.
Our Approach
- Target: under-optimized 4-5 star hotels in tier-1 metropolises (Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan) with brand repositioning potential
- JPV track record: Centorial (47,000 sqm, listed heritage restructuring), Coeur Défense (350,000+ sqm offices, multi-tenant repositioning), Washington Plaza (ex-Shell, premium tertiary repositioning)
- Operator partnerships: Marriott, Accor, Hilton — brand repositioning and RevPAR optimization over 24-36 months
- Method: value-add acquisition, operational stabilization, selective rotation to Core investors or hotel REITs
- Target return: value-add performance above European institutional benchmarks
- Market: European premium RevPAR +8.2% vs 2019, 60% of transactions >€50M concentrated in Paris/Barcelona/Madrid

Urban Platform
Residential & Flex Living
The city evolves. Housing follows.
Strategy led by Jean-Pierre Véron — Chairman, 40+ years of institutional real estate.
Coliving, serviced residences, build-to-rent — demand structurally exceeds supply in European metropolises. JPV large-scale structuring track record — expertise transposable to residential and flex living: Vallée du Camincourt (logistics platform of 116,991 sqm GFA on a 294,659 sqm site in Saint-Sauveur (80), developed in partnership with Elcimaï — French reference in high-performance logistics design — off-plan/VEFA structure). This same structural know-how — large-format technical slabs, high-density energy connection, ICPE compliance — is directly transposable to European AI datacenters via TITAN DC AI and to flex residential via the structuring of operated platforms.
The structural deficit is massive: Europe lacks 4.5 million housing units according to the European Commission. In tier-1 metropolises, serviced residence occupancy rates exceed 92% and build-to-rent rents grow by +4.8% annually. Finxia targets 80-300 unit assets, operated by specialized partners (coliving, PBSA, senior living), with exits calibrated for Core investors on a 5-7 year horizon.
Target: operational value creation (optimization of common areas, digitization of rental management, upgrading of services) and portfolio effect at exit, for performance aligned with European institutional benchmarks.
Our Approach
- Target: residential assets of 80-300 units in European tier-1 metropolises (coliving, PBSA, build-to-rent, senior living)
- JPV track record: Vallée du Camincourt (116,991 sqm logistics, Elcimaï partnership, off-plan/VEFA structure) — large-scale structuring know-how transposable
- Partnerships with specialized operators: digital rental management, optimization of common areas, upgrading of services
- Market dynamic: 4.5M housing deficit in Europe, serviced residence occupancy >92%, BTR rents +4.8%/year
- Calibrated exits: block sales to Core investors on 5-7 year horizon, portfolio effect and liquidity premium
- Target return: operational value creation and portfolio effect, aligned with European institutional benchmarks
