About

The plan is made of several neighbourhoods, each with its own programme and its own urban and architectural identity:

– The THREE SHELLS neighbourhood, whose buildings hold an indoor beach, a children’s adventure park and a sports centre

– The OUTLET neighbourhood, laid out as a village, with shops and high-end apartments

– The HARBOR neighbourhood, with shops and high-end apartments

– The LAKE neighbourhood, with high-rise buildings, shops and mid-range apartments

– The SOUTH POINT, with the main tower, the cultural centre and the hotels

A lake opens at the centre of the island and gives the buildings farther from the sea a view of their own.
