Waterfront di Levante is changing the face of Genoa and redefining modern living, “bringing the sea back into the city, with a new marina and canals that allow people to enjoy the presence of water.” Located in Fiera del Mare, the innovative project revolves around “respect for the environment and the health of residents.”
Conceived by international architectural practice Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW), the development’s construction work is now complete. The last available penthouses have been finished and are ready to be handed over on a turnkey basis to future owners, fully aligned with the project’s design and furnishings.
As such, the last 15 available penthouses present an exciting opportunity. For example, this four-bedroom and three-bathroom apartment centers around eco-conscious design, spanning 361 square meters and boasting a spacious terrace and far-reaching Ligurian Sea panoramas.
Engel & Völkers is handling the sale of the price-on-request residences. The real estate company specializes in premium properties in over 35 countries on five continents, and their three core values are “competence, exclusivity, and passion.”
Green Revolution Between Sky & Sea
Waterfront di Levante centers on modern, sustainable design and quality of life, with construction adhering to green criteria. The penthouses feature vast glass walls and will offer top-quality interiors and maximum privacy once completed.
New Vision of Urban Living
The transformative project is redeveloping the Genoa Trade Fair area, and acclaimed architect Renzo Piano is at the helm – his firm was commissioned to “recreate a strong and meaningful urbanity for this abandoned site that sits at the boundary of land and sea.” When finished, the environmentally-focused community and harbor will combine residences with a park, marina, coastal pedestrian-cycle path, landscaped gardens, offices, and retail facilities.
In terms of design, RPBW is following the Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) approach, using renewable energy sources and solar roofing, plus water from the new Port Canal for heating and cooling. Thanks to that, they’ve achieved an A4-class energy rating.
The team also adheres to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold criteria, a framework for creating efficient, healthy, and cost-saving buildings. At the same time, there’s no compromise regarding style, elegance, and comfort.
Zero-Impact Penthouses
Each light-filled, open-plan residence features floor-to-ceiling glass doors and spacious terraces to admire the sea vistas, complemented by fine finishes and top-tier materials. Interiors are by Martina Re; customization options are available, or you can opt for a turnkey solution.
The “smart” homes will come complete with state-of-the-art technology for managing energy consumption, temperature, and lighting. Meanwhile, the building will have “electrostatic filtration and controlled mechanical ventilation systems, ensuring continuous air exchange.”
Regarding communal services, there will be a gym, children’s play area, 24-hour concierge, co-working spaces, and parking. What’s more, buyers can benefit from priority berth allocations at the newly built moorings.
All penthouses are priced upon request. For example, this collection includes three-bedroom, three-bathroom units with 190 square meters, while the remaining units feature three bedrooms and two bathrooms, ranging from 180 to 186 square meters.
This two-bedroom and three-bathroom fully-furnished apartment covers 190 square meters, while this selection of two-bedroom and two-bathroom properties has interiors of between 156 and 166 square meters.
Smart Investment in Genoa’s Regenerated Waterfront
Rich in history and a thriving economic hub, Genoa is the capital of Liguria and Italy’s largest sea port. The city attracts a diverse mix of homebuyers and investors. Indeed, foreign interest in the luxury real estate market accounts for 18% across the country.
Exploring Genoa: Flourishing Coastal City
Nestled between the Ligurian mountains and the sea, Genoa is known for its maritime history and cultural landmarks like Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, Palazzo Reale, and Unesco-designated Palazzi dei Rolli.
The medieval center is a labyrinth of streets waiting to be explored. Also known as “caruggi”, the winding, narrow alleys are lined by the high outer walls of houses. On warm evenings, locals wander along Corso Italia, an oceanside promenade, to Boccadasse. The Aquarium is the biggest in Italy and the food scene is unforgettable. Indeed, Genoa is the birthplace of pesto.
Genoa, Liguria, Italy
Additionally, the city is an ideal starting point for exploring nearby Cinque Terre, the world-famous seaside destination celebrated for its scenic landscapes.
Beyond its historical and cultural appeal, Genoa is a thriving economic hub and a center for education, science, music, and the arts.
Investing in Genoa’s Upscale Market
Demand for deluxe Italian real estate is driven by the USA, Switzerland, and India. According to research, Liguria ranks fourth when it comes to high-end and ultra-luxury property numbers. What’s more, the most affluent Italian town is Portofino, in the province of Genoa.
Waterfront di Levante is ideally located, less than a half-hour walk from the Old Town or under 10 minutes by car. Offering an eco-forward lifestyle, cultural enrichment, and business opportunities, it’s a meaningful investment prospect.
