Monaco's land extension takes a step forward
The next phase of the Monaco land extension is underway, with the government putting out the call for tenders. Further details are emerging of the highly anticipated project, which could see an extra 60,000 square metres added to the Principality.
The first stage of construction, estimated to cost around one billion euros, will see the creation of a massive underwater pavement, said the the Monegasque government on Monday 6th May. The concrete slab will be 20 metres deep at the base and several possibilities have already been discussed, including soil backfills and floating boxes.
The area, located near the Larvotto beach, will not accommodate property over 10 floors high, but will feature interesting additions such as underwater car parks and marina docking spaces. The land will also be dedicated to quality businesses, offices and public facilties.
Project proposals can be submitted until 23rd July, when a maximum of 10 applicants will be selected. The government says it could take up to a year to finalise the details, then the land extension could be delivered as early as 2024.
The plan could potentially add 60,000 square metres to the two square kilometre Principality - expanding it by around three per cent. The challenge is to keep construction as environmentally friendly as possible, particularly considering that just 20 metres away sits the Larvotto Marine Reserve. But Prince Albert II has confirmed that this is a main priority, saying in an April interview: “I will pay particular attention to ensure the project respects the strict environmental rules that I will impose, during the construction as well as during the use of the new surfaces created."

he he you don't see THAT many F430, R8's etc in Nice. Those are still pretty rare and expensive cars (relatively)
Nice is in my opinion a GREAT place. A real city. Often there?
And of course... post up more pics!!!
