The site of the former foundry of 4.2 ha site, acquired in October 2016, is located at the crossroads of major public transport lines (metro, tram) and roads serving the east of Lyon. It is in the immediate vicinity of Lyon 8ème and the Parilly multimodal hub.

The site was heavily contaminated with metals, hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents in the soil. The remediation strategy included treating the sources by extracting the polluted materials and managing the materials generated during the earthworks for the car parks. 21,000 tonnes were evacuated, valorised or disposed of off-site, and 15,000 tonnes were valorised on site.

Ginkgo and EM2C, a property developer based in the Lyon region, have acquired the site of the former Duranton foundry in equal shares. The planned programming for the main plot (Deltalys) will include 21,400 sqm of light industrial and a 22 200 sqm last mile logistic centre. Smaller plots (Alliade Habitat and Adoma) have been redeveloped as business premises and sold in 2019 and 2023 respectively.
