Chanel Ltd. splurged on a property near its main boutique in Paris last year as luxury brands seek to secure prime locations for their stores.

The building, located at 23 rue Cambon — close to Chanel’s flagship boutique at No. 31 — was purchased for €118 million ($133 million) in September, according to a property database.
