- A three year project
- A €178 million design-build-operate-maintain contract
The €178 million design-build-operate-maintain contract will cover the restoration of the core section of the existing buildings, as well as upgrades to bring the structure in line with level 4 of the European standards for earthquake resistance, construction of foundations for the new buildings, all interior trades work, and maintenance for the new site for four years.

The project will employ up to 500 people and encourage collaboration with small- and medium-sized local companies wherever possible. Moreover, 10% of the hours worked will be carried out by people in social integration programmes.
All of the concrete used will be a low-carbon Exegy®* standard formulation made by a local manufacturer, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% compared to conventional concrete. A significant part of the flooring as well as the wood for the framework, roofing and carpentry for the historic façades will be biosourced. What's more, under the operations part of the contract, 300 m2 of photovoltaic panels will be installed on the roof of the new section of the police station, while 20% of the heat from the data centres will be recovered for heating and domestic hot water. Lastly, shutters will be installed not only harmonise the building's exterior with surrounding structures in Nice, but also to contribute to the thermal comfort of the interior and help the project obtain the silver level of the Bâtiments Durables Méditerranéens label as well as the Effinergie low energy building (BBC) renovation label.
*Exegy® is VINCI Construction’s solution to make the use of concrete with a low carbon footprint more widespread.
