The consortium intends to convert this undeveloped land into a vibrant new family-oriented neighbourhood for people of all ages by means of a mixed-use project comprising housing units, shops and offices with a total floor area of nearly 19,600 sq.m.
The mixed scheme will include:
- 110 open-market, social and affordable housing units covering approximately 7,125 sq.m,
- A 2,800-sq.m residence for young workers,
- A 5,800-sq.m seniors’ residence with services, comprising around 100 beds,
- A medical centre covering 1,800 sq.m,
- 700 sq.m of office space for liberal professions and start-ups,
- 900 sq.m of shops in addition to existing retail space,
- A 450-sq.m sports facility.
The project was designed alongside architects COLLECTIF D’ARCHITECTES and TOLILA + GILLILAND, and landscape architect BASE. Through the site’s landscape and topography overlooking the Bay of Brest, this project has struck a harmonious balance between nature and new habits and lifestyles. SCOPIC will adopt an ambitious approach involving consultations and interim management of the site.
Construction is scheduled to begin by 2021. The project aims to obtain and comply with the E+C- and BiodiverCity labels.
