With just over 2 km² of land, Monaco is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. In this context of extreme land scarcity, every square meter counts. To house its growing population, attract future talent, preserve quality of life, and address environmental challenges, the Principality has launched a forward-looking urban planning initiative for 2040.
More than a simple development plan, Monaco 2040 outlines an urban vision that is innovative, intelligent, and sustainable. The goal is clear: to make Monaco a futuristic laboratory that balances prestige, controlled urban density, and ecological transition.
Unable to expand horizontally, the Principality is developing vertical projects that combine residential, office, and service spaces on a single site. This is already visible with projects like the Tour Odéon and the Îlot Pasteur.
In the future, this model of programmatic mix will be strengthened, with smart buildings incorporating sky gardens, green roofs, and self-sufficient energy systems.
Rather than relying on demolition, Monaco is focusing on land efficiency and renovating existing buildings. Projects like Testimonio II and the upcoming Maison Valentina embody this approach: combining density with quality, and modernity with integration into the existing urban fabric.
New residences, such as Maison Valentina, now blend residential units with commercial spaces, all while meeting high environmental standards.

Energy sensors, automated energy management, air quality monitoring, smart home features—Monaco’s real estate is gradually embracing the codes of the smart city.
These technologies improve resource management and enhance residents’ comfort. By 2040, buildings will no longer be just places to live—they will be fully connected ecosystems.

Monaco has set ambitious environmental goals: reducing carbon emissions, achieving energy neutrality, promoting soft mobility, and preserving its coastline. These goals are shaping future urban developments.
New buildings aim for eco-excellence, with sustainable materials, high-performance insulation, solar panels, and a drastically reduced construction carbon footprint—in line with Monaco’s climate energy plan, which targets carbon neutrality by 2050.
Despite physical constraints, Monaco remains one of the most dynamic and resilient property markets in the world.
Prices continue to soar—averaging over €50,000/m² in some neighborhoods—and the Principality continues to attract an elite international clientele.
Its appeal is especially strong in evolving districts like La Condamine, Fontvieille, and Jardin Exotique. Major new developments such as Testimonio II, Maison Valentina, and the offshore extension Mareterra are tangible examples of this momentum.
The Principality’s development projects seek to balance heritage and modernity. Each new construction is designed with careful consideration of its environmental impact, urban integration, and residents’ needs.
The goal is twofold: to welcome new residents while preserving optimal comfort for those already living in Monaco.
Neighborhood renovation goes hand-in-hand with the creation of green spaces, pedestrian areas, and new commercial, cultural, and recreational amenities.
Public facilities are also integrated into real estate projects to strengthen community ties and provide local services. This long-term vision gives rise to a more fluid, human-centered, and ever more desirable city.

To adapt the territory to 21st-century challenges: land scarcity, ecological transition, housing needs, quality of life, and economic development.
Key developments include the Mareterra offshore extension, Testimonio II, Villa Carmelha, Maison Valentina, and the full renovation of Fontvieille.
Due to land scarcity and international demand, prices are expected to remain high—particularly in newly developed or upgraded areas.
La Condamine, Fontvieille, and Jardin Exotique show strong promise. Nearby towns like Beausoleil or Cap d’Ail also offer opportunities for more accessible budgets.
