Actually, if the existing apartment buildings were not UGLY MODERN GARBAGE, and were, instead, Beaux Arts masterpieces resembling the grand architecture which first put Monaco on the map, then apartments would be more marketable to self-important personages, and Monaco could simply go UP (and down, since there's plenty of space for excavation).
In the mid 1800's, Monaco lost 95% of its territory when the neighboring towns of Menton & Roquebrune declared their independence, partly to escape Monaco's taxes and bad economy. Within a short time the Casino was founded, taxes were abolished, and the economy really took off. I wonder if they have any regrets?!
I live in Menton. 0 regrets. Our economy is very good on the Cote d'Azur. Monaco isn't on the E.U. whereas Menton is in. NB : I'm a student in Monaco who live in Menton.

I go to school in Monaco and I've been watching the project progress. As of right now, the entire area has been filled and they are starting building soon :)
15 acres? They should have gone ahead and went much further out. Create a mini Venice with harbor, lagoons, and canals. They are always going to have problems with lack of land so they should capitalize while the money is good.
they dont want profits, they want insain profits, the only way to do that, is to build less then what the demand needs, so the prices will sky rocket. and stay there. Building the same house in monaco or the USA, it costs just as much. but instaid of 100% profit, they have a 1000% profit. wich would u pick?
Gibraltar shares similar problem, we are on the Mediterranean coast, we border Spain, 40% of land in Gibraltar is reclaimed land and more people wants to move. Like Monaco, It’s expensive to live in Gibraltar but not as expensive a Monaco.
Hi Fred! Could you please make a follow up video for this project, or maybe even some other ones you made in the past on how the process and construction is going? It would be quite interesting. Maybe even a short 🤷♂️ Anyway love your videos, keep up the good work man! 👏
The project is now called Mareterra. The website shows some photos of current achievements, they seem pretty much on track. mareterra.com/en Also, this Wikipedia page exists for the area to come: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Portier.
The cliffsides above the city, are not actually part of Monaco. But your concept is not without merit. With the new digging/cutting technologies, they COULD go DOWN.
Yes, if you compare photos with GoogleMap, you'll see that what appear to be buildings at Monaco's highest hillside elevations, are actually buildings on streets beyond the nation's border.
JJ Official Worldwide The video explained why Monaco has averted from this approach. Monaco is a wealthy micronation with little need for efficient and compact housing compared to larger, pricier buildings. It should also be noted that the importance of greenspaces in cities are in order to reduce the Urban Heat Island effect, the primary cause of Urban health problems, which is intensified by the utilization of high-rise structures, and so Monaco would be creating the health risk it intends to counter by trying to find a high-rise/greenspace equilibrium.

This video is really good. I always wondered why don't they use marine sand from around the reclamation site? Seems easier to just more the sand from nearby and not all the way from Sicily...
@@paulwhite8493 It's more factually correct to say climate change. While the overall temperature of the planet is rising, seasonal weather means that many places will experience colder winters and warmer summers. This would be considered a change in climate, hence, climate change.

Tax havens like Monaco does not make any sense. I get that all those rich people don’t want to pay taxes and that every superyacht is registered in Georgetown, Cayman Islands. But Europe should forbid that and rich people should pay some taxes like everyone else. Stupid world.
I dont want to be "that guy", but your background music always suits your videos perfectly. Whats the name of the one used in this one? Do you have the link?
It seems that a lot of viewers don't really realize just how small Monaco is. Most of the homes on the hillside are actually in France. Don't be fooled by seeing roofs the same red color and think it must be a home in Monaco, it isn't. You can fit Monaco into NY Central Park and still have room left over.
The architecture character of this new structures is alienated (based on the perspectives shown). Must be better if it didn't deviate from the architectural context of Monaco.
I agree. Excellent Beaux Arts architecture MADE Monaco. Considering the wealth of those buying in Monaco, there's no excuse for not continuing in the style of the grand 19th Century buildings. That would certainly provide better views than does the the Modernist garbage of the last few decades.
DJShadesUK, those 60s things ARE dreary. Really, it's time they were razed, and replaced with structures worthy of the prices being charged, and the fortunes being sheltered there.
Very sporting of Monaco to allow one of this season’s new arrivals Metz an away win at Monaco. With two defeats at the beginning of the season and a bottom of the league placing times at The Louis seem bleak. We do of course love courage and perseverance and so hope this momentary facade at the bottom of Ligue 1 does not in any way remove the optimism so often relished among the team in past seasons. If you liked this comment and fancy hearing more like it please give it a thumbs up.
This is not a critique per say but 120 residencies? Really? C'mon Monaco! You're over subscribed and you expand so little?... Look at Eko atlantic and Dubai. Hundreds of thousands of residences were catered to by both places expanding into the sea. I was in Monaco and saw this and thought it was just for one building. I had no idea, but 120 residences is still too little. People need more, we love Monaco.
Adrian Kileste I never disliked, but I’m going to take a guess that it’s because it’s a case of “rich people problems” not everyone has a choice where they live and this seems like a lot of work so the rich can be happy. Just a guess though
It’ll be interesting to see what Monaco does in the future, will they go up, down or out, there isn’t much more space to expand unless they remove a marina and push it further out...
There's plenty of space so long as you build south of existing marinas. The real issues could come with sea depth, cost of reclamation and environmental damage the further into the sea you go.
Japan reclaims land for airports (110 sq miles), so does China (4,600 sq miles), Netherlands (2,700 sq miles), South Korea (600 sq miles) and so on. Yet we are led to believe that global warming is the cause of the ocean rising about half an inch in the last 15 years. Yet an earthquake in Alaska that released 7,500 sq miles of soil into the ocean generated a tsunami over 1700 feet high. Rather than or in addition to the reduction in carbon dioxide levels the "powers that be" better stop "reclaiming" land in one country that reclaims ocean elsewhere such as Venice, the Maldives etc. caused by an increase in sea level of only 1/8th inch per year. And the higher the ocean rises the more erosion of land and icecaps takes place accelerating this process even more.
I do have to miss that although it’s annoying that we have to keep doing expenses like these and going into the sea is not a good idea at all in the 21st-century, there’s construction project really has been well thought out and looks really awesome. Granted the architectural design does feel kind of retro for some reason, but I like how they really thought about the environmental impact, how it is very green and the way the buildings slope down from highest to lowest to emulate the Monaco environment.
I'm just wondering how the people feel that actually were on the coast now there properties have been pushed back now with these new homes on the waterfront now , we're they compensated for that, I'm just curious, I know if I was one of those properties I would of not been to happy , cause your views would be obstructed and your property value had to drop , just curious
Interesting video but an impressive benchmark to future land reclamation projects? What about the Palm islands, Entire airfields within Japan, the port of Zeebrugge and bloody Flevoland?
Monaco needs a long term sustainable man made island spanning an area in excess of 8 kms² - 15 kms² . . . it'll be able to accommodate anywhere between 82,000 - 150,000 resident tourists including some of the necessary local population . . . a 10 kms² man made island can built in the Mediterranean Sea adjacent to the current island archipelago that makes up the entirety of Monaco . . . cost of such a challenging real estate project through significant land reclamation will be anywhere between €8.2 Bn - €19.0 Bn approx . . .
Environmental oxymoron: land reclamation. It’s more like trying to squeeze out more real estate for sale when there aren’t any. Way smarter to pay the taxes in France in Cap Ferrat on existing large parcels since money is obviously not an issue for the real estate buying demographic in this market.
I'd love to see something like Baroque style architecture rather than "modern" buildings. Either way Monaco is one of the most beautiful countries I've visited.
in the design world, never built a baroque style in a present era, you'd be lying to the history. The architecture should be more harmonious and more unique to the local architecture style though, because the proposed design feels empty and not unique to the Monaco's cutlure

Keep in touch with the Dutch, you would need them soon.........
would be good to see a follow up to stories like these to show what the progress is like.
This video is really good. I always wondered why don't they use marine sand from around the reclamation site? Seems easier to just more the sand from nearby and not all the way from Sicily...
climate change "hold my beer"
no. not really ! you are taking climate change a bit too serious.
It not climate change it’s global warming
@@paulwhite8493 It's more factually correct to say climate change. While the overall temperature of the planet is rising, seasonal weather means that many places will experience colder winters and warmer summers. This would be considered a change in climate, hence, climate change.
According to AL Gore Monaco should have been under water by now.
@@burgerfc IF people still used 50's and 60's inefficient factories and trains. Modern factories use less than half of energy of what they used in 50's and 60's to manufacture a worse product and they used inefficient fuels like coal.
It is like saying we don't need safety systems in cars as very few people who crash die when the main reason that is the case is because of the safety systems.
How much would it cost to buy the whole country? (asking for a friend)
John O'Halloran likely to be in the trillions, as u have to buy the land.
In GBP or Euros?
A studio costs more than 1M €. The Odéon tower suites prices are very very very high...
Your friend will have to be wealthy and he will not pay any taxes any more.... His neighbors will be an italian or a russian or brit.... But he won't be french ! It can't be !
Probably 500 billion US dollars (Asked from friend)
Tax havens like Monaco does not make any sense. I get that all those rich people don’t want to pay taxes and that every superyacht is registered in Georgetown, Cayman Islands. But Europe should forbid that and rich people should pay some taxes like everyone else.
Stupid world.
That shit is litteraly happening under my window
Boomrang2 Monaco ..that means you are my neighbor?
George WL where do you live mate ?
Boomrang2 Monaco ..cyprus
So you've got a lovely view of that ugly ass ship thats doing the prep work then? (That they had moved for the Monaco GP last month lol)
I do, I can even see the name of it from here. It's the Simon Stevin if you want an ugly ship pic
I dont want to be "that guy", but your background music always suits your videos perfectly. Whats the name of the one used in this one? Do you have the link?
what do you think of the Lakhta Center building?:)
(Tallest building in Europe)
It's 2022 now, was this completed?
It seems that a lot of viewers don't really realize just how small Monaco is. Most of the homes on the hillside are actually in France. Don't be fooled by seeing roofs the same red color and think it must be a home in Monaco, it isn't. You can fit Monaco into NY Central Park and still have room left over.
The architecture character of this new structures is alienated (based on the perspectives shown). Must be better if it didn't deviate from the architectural context of Monaco.
I agree. Excellent Beaux Arts architecture MADE Monaco. Considering the wealth of those buying in Monaco, there's no excuse for not continuing in the style of the grand 19th Century buildings. That would certainly provide better views than does the the Modernist garbage of the last few decades.
At least it's not a muslim building with a bunch of skinny pointy towers.
Architectural context of Monaco? Are you talking about those dreary 1960's highrises all over the place?
DJShadesUK, those 60s things ARE dreary. Really, it's time they were razed, and replaced with structures worthy of the prices being charged, and the fortunes being sheltered there.
Very sporting of Monaco to allow one of this season’s new arrivals Metz an away win at Monaco. With two defeats at the beginning of the season and a bottom of the league placing times at The Louis seem bleak. We do of course love courage and perseverance and so hope this momentary facade at the bottom of Ligue 1 does not in any way remove the optimism so often relished among the team in past seasons.
If you liked this comment and fancy hearing more like it please give it a thumbs up.
This is not a critique per say but 120 residencies? Really? C'mon Monaco! You're over subscribed and you expand so little?... Look at Eko atlantic and Dubai. Hundreds of thousands of residences were catered to by both places expanding into the sea. I was in Monaco and saw this and thought it was just for one building. I had no idea, but 120 residences is still too little. People need more, we love Monaco.
What will be the size of Monaco after the expansion
Will there be any affordable housing for low income earners?
Not in monaco. A normal Appartement costs about 1 million there
13M for a 1,500sq condo. That nuts
At least you don't have to pay taxes

In Gibraltar is also same project name Victoria keys.Wach some video plese
wow! no reasons to dislike the video
Adrian Kileste I never disliked, but I’m going to take a guess that it’s because it’s a case of “rich people problems” not everyone has a choice where they live and this seems like a lot of work so the rich can be happy. Just a guess though
Let’s all inform Jon Olson so he can buy a new home here
This isn’t solving a housing shortage. This is building more million dollar homes for rich people to shelter their assets.
It’ll be interesting to see what Monaco does in the future, will they go up, down or out, there isn’t much more space to expand unless they remove a marina and push it further out...
There's plenty of space so long as you build south of existing marinas. The real issues could come with sea depth, cost of reclamation and environmental damage the further into the sea you go.
Japan reclaims land for airports (110 sq miles), so does China (4,600 sq miles), Netherlands (2,700 sq miles), South Korea (600 sq miles) and so on. Yet we are led to believe that global warming is the cause of the ocean rising about half an inch in the last 15 years. Yet an earthquake in Alaska that released 7,500 sq miles of soil into the ocean generated a tsunami over 1700 feet high. Rather than or in addition to the reduction in carbon dioxide levels the "powers that be" better stop "reclaiming" land in one country that reclaims ocean elsewhere such as Venice, the Maldives etc. caused by an increase in sea level of only 1/8th inch per year. And the higher the ocean rises the more erosion of land and icecaps takes place accelerating this process even more.
Well I think the proposal looks very appealing.
Your DP is very appealing.
I do have to miss that although it’s annoying that we have to keep doing expenses like these and going into the sea is not a good idea at all in the 21st-century, there’s construction project really has been well thought out and looks really awesome. Granted the architectural design does feel kind of retro for some reason, but I like how they really thought about the environmental impact, how it is very green and the way the buildings slope down from highest to lowest to emulate the Monaco environment.
I agree especially with sea levels rising in the next couple years it makes me think if these expansion projects are even thinking long term.
Las Vegas, Monaco and Macau. The worlds casino cities.
I'm just wondering how the people feel that actually were on the coast now there properties have been pushed back now with these new homes on the waterfront now , we're they compensated for that, I'm just curious, I know if I was one of those properties I would of not been to happy , cause your views would be obstructed and your property value had to drop , just curious
Love this channel.
All the videos are awesome.
So interesting and all very well explained.
Interesting video but an impressive benchmark to future land reclamation projects? What about the Palm islands, Entire airfields within Japan, the port of Zeebrugge and bloody Flevoland?
We think the steps taken to reduce its environmental impact (as compared to other land reclamations) justifies this statement.
i would like u to do an video on the colombo port city in sri lanka
Monaco needs a long term sustainable man made island spanning an area in excess of 8 kms² - 15 kms² . . . it'll be able to accommodate anywhere between 82,000 - 150,000 resident tourists including some of the necessary local population . . . a 10 kms² man made island can built in the Mediterranean Sea adjacent to the current island archipelago that makes up the entirety of Monaco . . . cost of such a challenging real estate project through significant land reclamation will be anywhere between €8.2 Bn - €19.0 Bn approx . . .
Great video. Thank you.
What happens to the displaced water?
will ask for asylum in africa
I hope that area will expand the circuit
What about rising sea levels?
Environmental oxymoron: land reclamation. It’s more like trying to squeeze out more real estate for sale when there aren’t any. Way smarter to pay the taxes in France in Cap Ferrat on existing large parcels since money is obviously not an issue for the real estate buying demographic in this market.
I always wondered how a small place like that handles their sewage system.
My guess is that they either dump it in the sea or export the sewage to France.
I'd love to see something like Baroque style architecture rather than "modern" buildings. Either way Monaco is one of the most beautiful countries I've visited.
in the design world, never built a baroque style in a present era, you'd be lying to the history. The architecture should be more harmonious and more unique to the local architecture style though, because the proposed design feels empty and not unique to the Monaco's cutlure
