New developments in Nice

The city of Nice and the wider region of Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur (PACA) is a very special place to live. To help you plan your purchase of new apartments in and around Nice, leading property development specialist Bouygues Immobilier offers an excellent choice of investment opportunities on its website at www.bouygues-immobilier.com. Our site features all the new houses and apartments we have for sale in Nice and the PACA region.

Nice Côte d’Azur (CANCA) urban community includes 24 districts and more than 500,000 residents. Nice is the second-largest city of the PACA region, the fifth-largest community in France and an important economic centre, with the Sophia Antipolis technology centre and dynamic business environment around the airport.

Between the sea and the mountains, Nice is surrounded by beautiful beaches along its coastline and by the heights of Mont-Boron and the Colline du Château inland. It also enjoys a very pleasant climate! All of which makes Nice a favourite destination for tourists. Today, tourism is the city’s biggest business, making Nice second only to Paris in terms of hotel capacity.

But Nice is also a city of entertainment and events. It hosts many festivals, including the Nice Jazz Festival and the Nuits Musicales de Nice in the summer months, with the emphasis on classical and baroque music. Held in February every year, the Carnaval de Nice is another hugely popular event.

The city of Nice has grown out of Vieux Nice, the old town whose layout and style has a lot in common with the Italian city of Turin. Inland, Nice is surrounded by hills, of which the best known is perhaps Le Cimiez. Towards the hills in the East is the area of Plaine et Coteaux, bordered by Les Collines Niçoises and the Ouest littoral. In Nice, there are no southern districts… just the Mediterranean! But to the north of the city centre lie the areas of Nord Centre Nice and Les Trois Collines.

The districts of Le Port and Le Cimiez with its arenas are two of the city’s most historic areas. The business districts are Arenas and Nice Méridia. Bouygues Immobilier offers a range of developments in and around Nice. In the up-and-coming west of the city, we can offer you a choice of new apartments in our Parc Saint-Martin residence (handover scheduled for the end of 2010). This contemporary-style residence is highly specified, and boasts its own gardens and swimming pool.

With its South of France locations between the hills and the sea, Nice exerts a very strong attraction! But the developments offered by Bouygues Immobilier throughout the PACA region are every bit as attractive. When you buy a new apartment in or around Nice, you can be sure that you’re investing in a home constructed using the very latest innovations in building technology. It also means that you save money on legal fees, which are lower for new-build homes than for older properties.
Lastly, you also benefit from the Bouygues Immobilier after-sale service and all the guarantees that come with a new home.
