Construction is well underway on Portier Cove, Monaco’s €2 billion, six hectare land reclamation project – one of Europe’s most ambitious construction projects. Completion is expected in 2025.

Portier Cove will create a new luxury residential area with public spaces that include a hill and landscaped park, a seafront promenade and a marina. There is a focus on sustainability.
