Covivio unveils “Les Panoramas Cimiez”,a new residential address in the hills above Nice

The transformation of a tertiary site into an inclusive residential development

Since the departure of the Enedis teams in 2021, Covivio’s ambition has been to transform this enclosed site, which stands out in the neighbourhood with its concrete tripod shape and four single-storey buildings. The residential project aims to de-artificialise and reconnect the site with its environment, offering a new destination for local residents and local services.

The new neighbourhood will cover approximately 18,600 m² and will consist of seven blocks offering a diverse range of housing:

• 120 open-market homes, ranging from studios to five-room duplexes with rooftops of over 100 m² offering views of the sea and hills;
• 89 rooms in a senior citizens’ residence,
• affordable and social housing, including 12 units under the Bail Réel Solidaire (BRS) scheme and 5 social rental units;
• 6 inclusive houses, i.e. 57 homes dedicated to specific groups.

In order to create a real village atmosphere in the hills of Cimiez, the project also includes a nursery, a community centre and three local shops. This commercial revitalisation is expected to generate around 50 jobs in the area.

A “green lung” in the heart of the city

Nature is at the heart of the project with the creation of 9,000 m² of
green and landscaped spaces, including a vast 4,600 m² central park. This veritable green lung, open to the public during the day, which will eventually feature a playground, sports equipment, a boules court and relaxation areas, will provide a meeting place and an oasis of freshness for local residents.
Designed by the architectural and landscape firm Rougerie+Tangram, the project is part of a high environmental performance approach and aims to obtain the most demanding certifications: NF HQE, BDM Label (Mediterranean Sustainable Building) and BiodiverCity Label.
