The Northern Precinct

Built for business.
Sustained by balance.

This fully walkable, commercial business precinct consists of 24 prime lots. The intention is for this precinct to develop an urban character that seamlessly integrates commercial office space with a curated mix of retail and showrooms. Positioned along the M1 motorway for maximum visibility and accessibility, some parts occupy space on Montebello Boulevard and along the lush green Saint Louis rivulet.

A mall and health & fitness centre will also be
located within the precinct.

The Central Precinct

Designed for living.
Inspired by nature.

Les Rives de Saint Louis, Montebello ́s inaugural residential project, introduces a modern “Art de Vivre.” Drawing inspiration from nature, it gives a select few the opportunity to enjoy the first “open front yard” residential concept on the island.

Phase 1 consists of 37 lots of serviced land in a beautifully landscaped, gated community.

Phase 2 will include the development of apartments and duplexes, all within walking distance of the northern commercial precinct.

The smart city scheme

Invest in Montebello.

In 2015, the Mauritian government launched the Smart City Scheme to promote new, intelligent urban spaces across Mauritius in the form of mixed-use developments comprised of office, business, residences and leisure components.

The scheme offers multiple fiscal incentives to developers and investors to encourage participation in the vision of the Mauritian government to create integrated, innovative and sustainable cities of tomorrow around the ‘live, work, play’ concept, and to improve the quality of life for the long-term benefit of all.

Montebello is developed under this Smart City Scheme, which allows investors and individuals to benefit from a wide range of incentives.

What our partners have to say

Why Montebello?

“We have always been passionate about pioneering. We strongly believe that investing in new ideas/ventures that contribute positively to the Mauritian economy will mean positive change for both the industry and for society. Montebello is an opportunity to pioneer a new approach to retail and business.

It is also located close to our existing businesses and will provide excellent visibility due to the high traffic flow on the M1 motorway. This is a great opportunity to showcase the high-profile brands that we represent.”

Eric Leal | CEO of Leal Group

“MaxCity’s long history of delivering high-quality realty to Mauritians, along with the unparalleled accessibility and visibility of Montebello’s location, convinced us that acquiring a commercial space in this new and innovative smart precinct will generate long-term value for us as a business. The location will provide an accessible, modern and aesthetically-pleasing space for our clients to discover our extensive catalogue.”

Dylan Sawmynaden | Director of Carleton Management Ltd

“We needed a high-quality space in which to showcase our specialised products in a modern and convenient site. Montebello provides this and a central, highly visible and very accessible location that will further elevate our brand.”

“Our partnership with MaxCity prior to Montebello was already founded on reciprocity, mutual respect and trust, as we had already transacted in the past. MaxCity’s steadfast reputation for delivering projects and always executing them while reaching for the highest applicable standards meant that we always knew that MaxCity would deliver the value that we were promised.”

Guito Prefumo | CEO of Powersure Ltd

“MaxCity has proven property development expertise through various projects in mixed-use concepts that have shaped the Mauritian landscape.

They share our vision for economic growth, sustainability and also value the overall well-being of our fellow Mauritians. Thanks to their long-standing experience in property development, and the fact that, like us, they are a family-owned business, MaxCity is a trustworthy partner and we look forward to partnering with them.”

Eric Leal | CEO of Leal Group

“La Croisette is an innovative, well-placed project led by MaxCity that faced scepticism at first, and it is now a cornerstone of day-to-day life in the North. We were privileged to witness this gradual shift as tenants of this MaxCity success story, and we thus have always trusted them and appreciated their projects. Montebello´s central, visible and accessible location has all the makings of a similar story, and will bring us ever-closer to our customers in the Port-Louis region.”

The success of a highly-publicised project with MaxCity created mutual growth for the both of us, along with well-earned respect and a long-standing working relationship. Naturally, we thus see MaxCity as one of our trusted partners.

Ignace Lam | CEO of INTERMART | Paltoni Retail Ltd
