Development of an administrative city comprising government office buildings, embassy offices, a business hotel, a shopping center, banks & service facilities, mixed use offices, retail, showrooms, high-rise mixed-use facilities, residential projects within the Cote d’Or Smart City and complete infrastructure to service the whole site at Cote d’Or.

A masterplan has already been finalised by Landscope (Mauritius) Ltd on over 240 A26p for the smart city project at Cote d’Or in the district of Moka. Cote d’Or Smart City Ltd holds a letter of intent, dated 10 September 2024, under the smart city scheme issued by the EDB.

The project will follow a sequential approach to development as the site is found in a growth zone, strategically located between the thriving Ebene Cybercity, the newly built Tribeca Smart City, the Réduit Education Hub, the burgeoning Moka Smart City and the Cote d’or Technopole.

The proposed Administrative City will create a synergy that promotes innovation and knowledge sharing and will offer a high quality of life for the residents.
