Palais Immobilier, a real estate dynasty for 35 years
« Family is man’s greatest treasure » Honoré de Balzac.
Founded in 1989 by Patrick Macanda, the Palais Immobilier group has over the years become an entrepreneurial and family adventure.
This family dimension is reflected in the values that have guided the group’s development: independence, loyalty, closeness, and a demand for excellence in relationships with clients as well as with employees. It also shows in a genuine transmission of the business: Patrick Macanda has gradually brought into the venture his two daughters, Nina Macanda and Lola Macanda-Dauwe, as well as his sister, Laurence Manini.
Originally from Nice, where he grew up, Patrick Macanda began his professional career in Paris in management control at the Pernod Ricard group. In the late 1980s, he chose to return to his hometown, driven by his attachment to Nice and his passion for fine properties.

Originally from Nice, where he grew up, Patrick Macanda began his professional career in Paris in management control at the Pernod Ricard group. In the late 1980s, he chose to return to his hometown, driven by his attachment to Nice and his passion for fine properties.
In 1989, he opened his first real estate agency in the Old Town of Nice, on Rue Colonna d’Istria. From this historic address, he gradually developed Palais Immobilier and built a group that is now firmly established on the Côte d’Azur.
His two daughters, Nina and Lola, grew up with the rhythm of this family business. From childhood, they witnessed its evolution and growth. After their studies, they naturally joined the group in turn and are today actively involved in its development.
Initially a real estate advisor within the group, Nina Macanda now heads the Palais Immobilier Prestige brand as well as its two Nice agencies, Mont Boron and Beaulieu-sur-Mer. She is in charge of brand development, partnerships, and team management.
Lola Macanda-Dauwe, for her part, helps direct the Palais Immobilier Vieux Nice agency, alongside Laurence Manini, while continuing her work as a real estate advisor. She also contributes to the agency’s development and day-to-day animation.
Alongside Patrick Macanda, Laurence Manini, Nina, and Lola, a team of professionals has for many years shared this history and helped keep the Palais Immobilier identity alive.
This family spirit is one of the group’s strengths. It is rooted in values of loyalty, trust, and closeness, which Palais Immobilier cultivates with its employees as well as with its clients.
Some advisors have been with the group since its earliest years. This loyalty reflects a vision of real estate built on lasting relationships, deep knowledge of the territory, and personalized support.
It is this same relationship of trust that Palais Immobilier seeks to build with each of its clients: one based on listening, transparency, and commitment, all the way through to the successful completion of every real estate project.
