In 2001, La Samaritaine was bought by the LVMH Group. Unfortunately, it had to close its doors in 2005 for security reasons.
After several years of structural investigations, lengthy consultations with various architects and the validation of building permits, reconstruction finally began in 2015, to be completed by 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the reopening of the department store another year. The new mixed-use development opened June 23, 2021. It includes, in addition to the department store, a Cheval Blanc Hotel in the art deco section part on the bank of the river Seine, offices, a daycare center and 96 social housing units. These are sold through Paris Habitat, a social housing project.

Novadis, a longtime partner of Octave, was in charge of implementing the physical security installations for this building complex in the heart of Paris. Nicolas Jdanoff, project manager at Novadis, recalled how easy it was for them to choose the right video management software, saying, “Our company always strives to offer state-of-the-art security solutions to ensure the smooth running of our clients’ operations. Octave‘s video management solutions already have proven themselves in other projects we manage. Thus, opting for Coda Video was almost a no-brainer.”
Jdanoff continued, “Wherever possible, we try to simplify the integration of the various security solutions in a way that not only meets the needs of operators, who want easy-to-use systems, but also of IT departments, who demand solutions that are both flexible and scalable.”
