Curiosity is a research and consultancy agency dedicated to creating innovative, sustainable, and inclusive real estate projects.
We put impact first — reshaping real estate to tackle climate change and equity through applied test-and-learn strategies, research and forward-thinking projects.
Curiosity is dedicated to creating projects that serve both the planet and its people—both are non-negotiable conditions for our work. Our mission is to design, finance, develop, and operate real estate that respects planetary boundaries and is adaptable to climate change, while also enhancing the well-being and resilience of users and neighboring communities. We aim to transcend profit maximization, redefining value creation so that each project—whether a building or a financial structure—is an opportunity to positively impact both the environment and society.

BOOK
Changing real estate:
from utopia to reality
The book (currently in French only) leverages qualitative research, including in-depth interviews with senior figures from across the real estate value chain: from investors and developers to policymakers and impact-driven entrepreneurs.
The methodology is grounded in scenario-planning and future-thinking principles, proposing a shift from utopia to reality, from “vision” to “ambition.” It challenges the sector to rethink long-standing conventions around valuation, investment, and development practices. Each chapter delves into international case studies and real-world applications to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sector’s potential for positive change.
A first and unedited of the book is already available here.
