Cape Grace's urban fabric is fully informed by the Principality’s existing urban texture, one which has evolved over centuries of organic growth, and injects a new sense of optimism with a new light and energy.  The public realm comprised of parks, plazas, promenades and bicycle paths is an expansion of the landscape, which together with new cultural, residential and commercial facilities significantly enhances Monaco’s urban experience.  Cape Grace is a comprehensive proposal which successfully incorporates all the functional and technical objectives of the Principality.  This will become the model to the world for such an extensive development, demonstrating an incredible sensitivity towards history, culture and the built and natural environments.

For more than two thousand years successive groups have identified the naturally blessed geography and climate of La Rocher and Port Hercule as an ideal place to live and establish a future.  The principal objective of the Cape Grace extension is not only to enhance its beauty, but to reverse the recent effects of an increased demand on energy, taxation of our natural resources and the impact of our built environment.  With this project, the Principality of Monaco has the opportunity to construct for its people - and visitors from around the world - an ideal living environment that is socially, culturally and economically responsible, while also remaining environmentally sustainable; Monaco will continue to be the envy of the world.
