Prices & market

Parc Saint-Roman against the Monaco market

Asking prices at Parc Saint-Roman range from roughly €46,000 to €63,000 per square metre: the spread inside this single building is wider than the spread between two districts of the Principality. An average is not a price.

The district · the insiders' addresses

What residents actually have on their doorstep

Parc Saint-Roman occupies the north-eastern tip of the Principality: the Monte-Carlo Country Club, Larvotto beach and the French border are each a few minutes away, in three different directions.

Identity

The Parc Saint-Roman fact file

Parc Saint-Roman was built between 1975 and 1982 on the site of the former Château de Saint Roman, to plans by the Milanese architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni, and holds around 390 apartments across two buildings: La Tour and Les Terrasses.

Construction data taken from the original specification of the Résidence du Parc Saint Roman, held in the archives of Petrini Exclusive Real Estate.

Facilities

The facilities of a resort, not of an ordinary block

Parc Saint-Roman has a 33-metre outdoor pool with a bar and changing rooms, a fitness room, a sauna, a concierge service, round-the-clock security, a private park and more than 400 underground parking spaces.

The agency's clarification: the number of floors in La Tour is often given as anywhere between 30 and 35. The explanation appears in the original specification: La Tour is not a single volume but two apartment blocks, one of 23 storeys, the other of 29. Depending on which block you are looking at, you do not count the same number of levels. A second point: the descent to Larvotto beach is made by the Principality's public lifts, open to everyone, and not by any facility belonging to the building.

History & architecture

A château, then a Milanese

Parc Saint-Roman stands on the site of the former Château de Saint Roman, and is the only Monaco work of Luigi Caccia Dominioni, the Milanese architect and designer whose output shaped the face of post-war Milan.

Before the residence, there was a château. The original specification says so in one sentence: the complex was built « on the site of the former Château de Saint Roman », between Boulevard d'Italie and Avenue Saint-Roman. Seven years separate the start of construction, in 1975, from the completion of the whole in 1982. The scheme answers a constraint familiar to every building in this sector: a steeply sloping plot, set against the rock, at the exact edge of Monegasque territory.

Caccia Dominioni's answer was to bury the parking over three levels and lay a planted park on top of it, then to place two distinct volumes there: Les Terrasses, lower and more spread out, whose studios open level with the garden, and La Tour, which rises to 108 metres. Buyers in 1982 already had full individually controlled air conditioning, a built-in safe in every apartment and a pool with a bar at garden level: a level of provision well ahead of its time.

Forty years on, the tower remains one of the four tallest in the Principality, alongside Tour Odéon, and one of the few with a genuine park. To understand how this kind of address fits into the local market, our guide to buying in Monaco sets out the stages of a purchase in the Principality.
