All’s well that ends well! After many uncertainties and controversies (firstly, the municipality had put the property up for sale, then the former opposition councilor Patrick Allemand had protested and wished for its classification as a Historical Monument), Villa Paradiso, once the seat of the Conservatory and now municipal offices, will soon find a new purpose with the creation of a cancer center promoted by a private investor, the Oger Group, and its company Kantis (Saint Georges clinic, the Breast Institute, Santa-Maria polyclinic).
In short, OGER Investments Group acquires Villa Paradiso for €7,200,000 (in accordance with the assessment established by France Domaine) to set up a living space, detached from the illness, where patients and their families can visit without apprehension to benefit from supportive care (sophrology, art therapy, onco-aesthetics, psycho-oncology, nutrition, etc.).
They will also be able to obtain information on screening and prevention. As explained in his speech by Professor José Santini, president of the Kantis cancer institute. “The objective is to advance the care of Azurian patients and improve their quality of life during and after the therapeutic phase, based on the principles of innovative, holistic, and personalized medicine.”
Beyond the fine words, this project presents a significant interest as it allows the municipality to take this matter out of a deadlock and addresses crucial issues: the complete rehabilitation of the site and its immediate surroundings, which the Oger Investments Group commits to undertake. All the more so as the public park of Villa Paradiso will remain the property of the city.
Christian Estrosi, a proponent of this solution, presented it to the municipal council with conviction and… fervor: “Today, with this resolution, we wish to go even further with the policy of excellence in health. This project aligns with my desire to make Nice a major health excellence hub in France.”
He was heard, and the resolution was approved unanimously.
