2023 Real Estate Market Insight and Forecast in West Liguria, Italy

Insightful Dynamics and Trends in West Liguria’s Real Estate Sector: Overview

From 2015 to 2023, the real estate landscape in West Liguria, Italy, displayed a compelling evolution in transaction dynamics, marked by a significant interplay between Italian and foreign buyers, and an increasing draw towards the area’s prime real estate, according to Matteo Scandolera, Managing Director of LiguraHomes Casamare.

Initially, the West Liguria market presented a balanced appeal to both Italian and international clients. However, there has been a notable shift occurred over time, with a steady increase in international transactions strengthening West Liguria’s growing position on the global stage.

At times out performing the rest of Italy in terms of proportion of international sales, Scandolera notes: “This rise speaks volumes about West Liguria’s desirability, driven by its lifestyle, culture, and investment potential. As the market has evolved, a stabilization in transaction distribution between Italian and foreign buyers emerged, reflecting a matured appeal across diverse demographics.”

Most recently, investment has been seen in new and improved Marina’s along the Italian Riviera coast. Premium marina operator D-Marin took over two new marinas, Marina degli Aregai, one of the largest in the Liguria with 961 berths and Marina di San Lorenzo with 268 berths. Both marinas have addition attractions, including restaurants and hotel.

In January 2024, it was announced that Marina Development Corporation (MDC), which is at the helm of the brand new Marina Cala del Forte in Ventimiglia, is partnering with Chastworth Schools to operate and manage the Borgo del Forte Campus, a large purpose-built international educational and sports campus.

Simultaneously, the redevelopment of San Remo’s old marina area is underway, promising to redefine the city’s waterfront. Porto Vecchio revitalization will include enhancing public spaces, improving marina facilities, and introducing commercial and recreational amenities.

“Such developments are designed to invigorate the area, making it a more attractive destination for residents and visitors alike, creating a positive impact on property values and investment opportunities”, Scandolera comments.

San Remo Music Festival 2024

The charming city of San Remo, which is tucked away in the heart of the Italian Riviera, is getting ready to host the prestigious San Remo Music Festival once more as the winter chill starts to melt. The 74th edition of this legendary event will light up the Teatro Ariston from February 6–10, 2024, extending its heritage as one of Italy’s most anticipated and respected musical festivities.

The San Remo Music Festival, officially known as the Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo, has been a cornerstone of Italian culture since its inception in 1951. Over the years, it has launched the careers of numerous Italian music legends and continues to be a platform for both established and emerging talents. The festival’s influence extends beyond Italy’s borders, having inspired the Eurovision Song Contest, where many San Remo winners have represented Italy on the international stage.

This year’s festival promises an eclectic mix of music, showcasing a diverse range of genres and artists. The lineup includes both new faces and seasoned performers, each bringing their unique style to the Ariston stage. The competition will unfold over five nights, with each artist presenting original songs, culminating in a grand finale where the winner will be crowned based on jury and public votes.

Premier International School Opening Soon in West Liguria

The renowned international education services provider Chatsworth Schools and Marina Development Corporation (MDC), a pioneer in urban regeneration focused on regions associated with tourism ports and leisure, have announced a ground-breaking partnership. With this collaboration, an international school will soon be established on the Borgo del Forte Campus in Ventimiglia. This initiative is in line with MDC’s larger goal of reviving the Ventimiglia waterfront.

A key component of the area’s revitalization, this international school is expected to start in September 2026, subject to clearance from the Municipal Council. It will be a part of the renovation of the old Campasso railway yard, which will turn a 42,000 square metre area into a flourishing centre for community and education. The school is positioned as a distinctive educational destination for students from the neighbouring regions, including Genoa, Monaco and Nice, because of its strategic position behind the naturalistic area at the mouth of the Nervia River.

Up to 800 students between the ages of 3 and 18 can be accommodated on the campus in a multi-story building that is surrounded by a public park. In addition to meeting educational demands, the facility will provide substantial sporting facilities that are open to the public, such as a contemporary gym, an indoor pool and a multipurpose space for different activities.

Dix bonnes raisons de visiter San Remo

1. LE CLIMAT

Notre climat est extraordinairement doux pendant toutes les saisons. La ville est entourée de collines et d’une riche végétation méditerranéenne, située sur un golfe de la mer Ligure. Ces caractéristiques ont contribué à en faire l’une des stations balnéaires les plus réputées d’Europe, en fait, Nice, avec son aéroport international, est à seulement 60 km. L’eau de mer chaude et propre, les belles plages, les couleurs vives et lumineuses du paysage, les installations qui permettent aux visiteurs de pratiquer plusieurs sports aquatiques et la possibilité d’observer les cétacés dans leur habitat naturel garantissent aux visiteurs des vacances agréables et relaxantes.

2. LA PISTE CYCLABLE

La ligne de chemin de fer de la Riviera a été conçue pour longer le littoral lors de sa construction au XIXe siècle. Ensuite, la voie ferrée principale a été déplacée en souterrain et l’ancienne ligne a été transformée en une piste cyclable sans circulation offrant une vue presque ininterrompue sur la mer pendant environ 24 kilomètres. Les cyclistes, les piétons et les joggeurs apprécient tous cette route côtière sans voiture, parsemée de palmiers, de jardins et de cafés en bord de mer. À San Remo, il existe une multitude de points de location de vélos, ce qui rend la ville idéale pour les cyclistes de tous les niveaux.

3. LE FRONT DE MER, LE VIEUX PORT ET LA MARINA

La ville surplombe la mer et les visiteurs peuvent se promener sur toute sa longueur en restant connectés à la mer. Le port séculaire est resté actif pour accueillir les bateaux de pêcheurs, tandis que le nouveau port de plaisance de Portosole accueille des centaines de yachts du monde entier.
