Green light to the joint control of Miniburo by the Caisse des dépôts et consignations and Nexity

On 10 August 2021, the French Deposit and Consignment Office (Caisse des dépôts et consignations) and Nexity notified the Autorité de la concurrence of their intent to acquire joint control of Miniburo, a company that will offer coworking spaces in the Île-de-France region.

The Autorité examined the effects of the transaction in the property sector, in particular in the market for the provision of shared work (coworking) spaces, which had not yet been assessed.

After examination, the Autorité ruled out any risk of anticompetitive effects from the transaction, given the parties' limited market shares and the presence of numerous competitors in the market for the provision of shared workspaces.
