PERIAL is a family company that has been instrumental in shaping and developing commercial property. Over the years, PERIAL has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt and innovate while never losing sight of its values.

PERIAL was born of a joint undertaking by two leading families of entrepreneurs, the Perrins, who began making gloves in the French city of Grenoble in the 19th century, and the Cosserats, who started producing velvet in Amiens in the late 18th century. The two formed a successful union based on a shared philosophy that we have continued to cultivate to this day, based on a continuous quest for quality, a closer relationship with our customers, a drive to create property projects in tune with the times, and our unwavering focus on innovation.

This forward-looking, innovative approach came to the fore in the 1960s, when Guy Cosserat turned his attention to the property market and helped to create new savings products with the launch of the first real-estate investment companies (SPCI), known as Participations Foncières (PF1 & PF2), which were a resounding success.

The company adopted the name PERIAL in 2006 and remained an independent group. Through investment in real estate, PERIAL succeeded in building on its founding values: innovation, expertise and sustainability. This same outlook also led us to introduce the market's first green SPCI (PFO2) in 2009 while preparing for the future through the ongoing development of pioneering new products.
