A world reference in sustainable development

First National Interest project focused on sustainable development

Respect for the natural surroundings, HEQ constructions… France's first Eco Valley is determined to set the standard in sustainable development. An Etablissement Public d’Aménagement development agency was set up in 2008 to manage the National Interest Operation (OIN) which covers a total of 10,000 hectares representing a potential 2 million sqm. available for construction, 50% of which will be given over to office and corporate use. The first buildings are scheduled for completion in 2012, while the whole project is expected to run over a period of some thirty years, ultimately creating a pool of 50,000 jobs..

The emergence of a second streategic business sector

Alongside Sophia Antipolis, will further enhance the international appeal of the Côte d'Azur, and maximize the potential development of its economy and its human resources, while protecting an exceptional natural setting.

Adding value and maximizing the local environment

The objective is to develop a multi-functional urban center adapted to future lifestyles through urban planning that capitalizes on the landscape, combines residential and business facilities and integrates alternative modes of transportation.

The new corporate offices district

South of Eco Valley, next to the Nice Côte d'Azur airport, a new Corporate Offices District is being developed, with all the assets of a modern urban hub and pan European decision center.

A second gateway to France

The Plaine du Var project will meet a globalized economy's needs for increased mobility and exchanges. It will be strategically located, close to the Nice Côte d'Azur international airport and will be accessible by public transportation, thanks to the new multi-modal station, where highspeed lines and regional lines will converge. The station will be served by the Nice tramway line, which is to be extended.
