Coworking for artisans is the intriguing concept that has just emerged in Lognes (Seine-et-Marne). On October 4, the start-up Lockall inaugurated its first “Maison des artisans”, an 8,000 m2 space specially designed for artisans and small businesses. Between meeting rooms, private offices, storage spaces and workshops: the attributes of a classic coworking space mix with the specificities of the craftsmen's activity. The traditional table football is even there. “We are the only ones to provide this turnkey solution, with so many services,” boasts Alexis De l’Epine, co-founder of Lockall.
Alexis de L’Epine has imagined a service intended for entrepreneurs. In a large modern building, they can rent the space they need at an affordable price. The founder aims to open around twenty of these places in Île-de-France.
Customized storage. Located on a completely rehabilitated former industrial site, the Maison des Artisans de Lognes (8,000 m2 and 12 million euros of investments) brings together, under one roof, a complete range of services: 800 storage spaces, 40 coworking spaces, eight offices, 13 private workshops, six meeting rooms, logistics, administration, advice, domiciliation and relaxation. Its goal is to make life easier for artisans, traders and entrepreneurs in the Paris-Vallée de la Marne urban community. 35% of the boxes are already occupied.
Business manager or individual, are you facing storage or archiving issues? Lockall certainly has the solution. Last March, on rue des Campanules, this new generation storage and furniture center with an area of 9,900 m2 opened its doors.

With two reservations: “A minimum ceiling height of 2.5 m and a lift greater than 500 kg/m2 are required. » Boulevard Haussmann, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, his first operation immediately broke the codes.
Parisian artisanal real estate is clearing a new land deposit. Under Boulevard Haussmann in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, Lockall opened 7,000 m2 of brand new storage premises last September. In the next five years, the start-up is planning 20 similar operations in Ile-de-France.
The visible part of Lockall, at 190 boulevard Haussmann, a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe, is misleading. If, on the ground floor, the shop occupies the space of a hair salon, it is in the basements that it happens. Lockall, Alexis de l’Epine’s company, has just opened 10,000 m2 of boxes there, on several levels. Storage cells, which range from 0.5 to 50 m², ultra-secure by some 120 video surveillance cameras. These spaces, intended for individuals, artisans and traders, are accessible thanks to an app – a property management system (PMS) – designed by Lockall.
Lockall opened its storage site in the heart of the 8th arrondissement of Paris. 7000m2 of box for individuals but also craftsmen. Soon, an additional 5,000 m2 will be developed to make the urban site the largest in Europe.
