Global real estate advisor Savills has announced the opening of its latest office in Cannes on the French Riviera, taking its number of offices across the French Riviera to eight.

Present within the most prestigious locations on the Côte d’Azur, the opening of the Cannes office is a key addition to the Savills network, reinforcing the brand’s presence across the iconic Côte d’Azur and naturally complimenting the synergy between the locations of Cap d’Antibes and the ever-popular Riviera countryside settings of Valbonne and Mougins, ensuring the Savills network can efficiently and expertly assist clients throughout this sought-after region.

Cannes is a glamorous destination with its luxury hotels and boutiques on the Croisette, but also one of the leading cities for business tourism and the city of culture. The new centrally located office on rue du commandant André is ideally located between the famous Croisette and rue d'Antibes near the boutiques and the best restaurants of the city, it is one of the most frequented sectors offering us excellent visibility.

Alex Balkin, executive director, Savills French Riviera, describes the opening of the new office as an essential addition to the network “A presence in this dynamic international city is a must and the team will be guided by the super-experienced Sylvain Boichut whose background and insights brings gravitas and strength to an already proficient team.”
