Less than a month after the completion of its renovation, Weinberg Capital Partners’ value-add fund WREP#3 is thrilled to welcome DC Company, an online media group that owns Konbini, to Les Ateliers de l’Aqueduc (70, rue de l’Aqueduc, 75010 Paris). The new tenant embodies the vision of this project: to bring together innovative, growing companies in search of inspiring spaces in a vibrant neighborhood.
Starting in early 2025, DC Company will occupy part of the building with a total area of 1,500 square meters. For the group, this new address stands as a strategic choice and marks a new era in its development.
Indeed, last February, DC Company, led by Geoffrey La Rocca, owner of the satirical site Le Gorafi, female-centric media Herstory, and the podcast C’est qui la Boss, finalized the acquisition of Konbini, an infotainment pure player. Targeting 18-35 year-olds, Konbini has 30 million monthly users, 2 million followers on TikTok, and a team of 170 employees, including 40 journalists.
Located just steps from Gare du Nord and La Caserne, one of Europe’s largest incubators for responsible brands, Les Ateliers de l’Aqueduc offers spacious, well-lit floors, services, and a magnificent rooftop with breathtaking views of Paris and its iconic monuments. The building has been completely renovated by MOON Project Engineering to attract inspiring and innovative companies in production, services, media, and tech, covering a total area of nearly 3,500 square meters, of which 2,000 square meters are now available for lease.
