Le Portier[1][2] (French pronunciation:[ləpɔʁtje]), sometimes referred to as Portier Cove[3] or Mareterra, is a residential area under construction, expected to be completed in 2025.[4] It will be part of the traditional Quartier of Monte Carlo in the Principality of Monaco.[5][6] It will be the eleventh modern administrative Monégasque ward.[7]
The project, started in the early 2000s and scheduled for 2014, was abandoned in 2009 at the command of Prince Albert II due to the state of the nation's finances. In 2011, new funds were acquired and the project resumed construction.[8][9][10] In addition to a new residential area, there are plans to build new administrative buildings, museums and a theatre.[7]
On July 18, 2019, the last interlocking concrete caisson was placed, closing the belt that delimits the offshore extension, thus specifically modifying the physical limits of Monaco.[11] On December 16 of that year, construction of the new six-hectare strip was completed.[12]
By the year 2020, work had been completed to reclaim land from the sea in the Mediterranean, leaving the area available for the construction of previously announced projects.[13]
