Société Centrale Immobilière de la Caisse des dépôts was founded in 1954 as a subsidiary of Caisse des dépôts et consignations. The company was a housing construction project owner in France, and was particularly active in the Paris region. During the 1950s and 1960s, it worked with a number of architects to build housing at Sarcelles , Créteil, Mourenx, Épinay-sur-Seine and Gagny. It was not until the 1980s that it started investing in non residential/public properties.
