Announced and presented in general terms several times, the project concerning the installation of IKEA in the Var plain now has an almost definitive configuration and it was presented at the MIPIM currently taking place in Cannes.
IKEA has been eager for many years to establish a presence in Nice. As the 5th largest city in France, it represents a strategic location with a customer base of 1.3 million inhabitants.
Located right in the center of the Saint-Isidore Eco-district, the store will benefit from the latest environmental innovations and a specific architectural approach to blend perfectly into the urban landscape.
It will be perfectly integrated into the landscape and meet the architectural and environmental ambitions of the Saint-Isidore Eco-district.
Indeed, listed in the Urban Development Master Plan and in the metropolitan Local Urban Development Plan, but also in the directions defined by the National Project of Interest (O.I.N.) of the Var Plain, this district is situated in a strategic location in the territory.
The sector, covering the entire area of the Allianz Riviera and the remaining 8 contiguous hectares still owned by the municipality, is becoming an attractive hub.
The concept developed for the IKEA store in Nice will be a great first for the Swedish brand, both in terms of architectural quality and the integration of the project into a mixed-use program of housing, offices, and shops.
IKEA France is in charge of developing the entire program and has entrusted Bouygues Immobilier with the construction of the housing, offices, and shops at the base of the building.
Jean-Michel Wilmotte, known for designing the Allianz Riviera, will oversee the overall architecture of the whole development.
With a sales area of 24,000 m2, the IKEA store will benefit from the latest environmental innovations and a specific architectural approach to perfectly integrate into the urban landscape.
It will benefit from proximity to the heart of the agglomeration and excellent access from the A8 highway, the RN 6202/6202 bis, and the future Voie des 40 mรจtres, with the adjacent tramway currently under development.
