The Principality of Monaco is renowned for its most expensive and truly exclusive properties , with prices reaching as much as 45.000 euros per square metre . Imbued with a multicultural spirit , the Principality is home to both cozy villas in the truly French style with their iron balconies and glass skyscrapers equipped with rooftop helipads , more typical of the Emirates coast .

The Marzocco Group villas and residences are precious pearls hidden on the « luxury » map of Monaco . For over 50 years , these architectural creations have been fascinating tourists and local residents alike . https :// www . groupemarzocco . mc / https :// www . groupemarzocco . mc /

was then passed on to his son Claudio Marzocco . By the 1990s , the company had become a real trendsetter on the luxury property market . One of its famous highlights is the first skyscraper built in Monaco in 1980 . Up until that day , any construction of a high-rise building in the Principality was unauthorized . The Tour Odéon penthouse famously has a record high price of 388 million euros .
Every Marzocco Group building has its own unique character . Decorated with pink Portuguese marble , Villa de Rome is a modern version of antique architectural styles . It is in contrast to the modern industrial complex Les Tamaris . Paying tribute to a crisp functional style , its three seven-storey buildings are a sustainable part of the planet ’ s future . 50 percent of their water supply is thus provided by solar panels . It is for good reason that the residence holds an international eco-friendly HQE certificate awarded to buildings with the least environmental footprint .
Not only is Marzocco Group contributing to the Principality ’ s luxury market with its new projects , but it is also giving a second life to some of its significant architectural heritage . Built in the early 19th century , Villa Montjoie and Villa Marie-Antoinette have regained their former chic appearance whilst meeting modern standards : elevators , utilities and underground parking .
Over the past five years , the Marzocco Group has constructed about 170,000 m 2 of real estate . Since the 1980s , it has enriched the Principality with over 50 building projects . With a team of 120 employees , the company is now managed by the brothers Claudio and Luca , their sons and nephews .
The family business remains a leader in the luxury property market thanks to its philosophy — each one of its projects is not only a work of art , but a symbol of innovative technical solutions . Marzocco Group has ambitious architectural plans for the future . By 2024 , the futuristic Testimonio II complex equipped with rooftop pools and gardens will be part of Monaco ’ s cityscape . Marzocco Group has also contributed largely to the Principality ’ s infrastructure . By 2028 , the company is planning to have constructed the base of the new Princess Grace ’ s Hospital building .
