History

The project, started in early 2000s and scheduled for 2014, was abandoned in 2009 by the decision of the Prince Albert II due to the state of the national finances, but subsequently new funds were found and the project was restarted in 2011.[3][4][5] In addition to the new residential area, it is also planned to build administrative buildings, museums and a theatre.[2]

Geography

Le Portier will extend between the Port Hercules and the Grimaldi Forum, on an area of 2.75 hectares (6.8 acres). It will border with the wards of Monte Carlo and Larvotto.[2]
