Addresses cluster along Avenue de la Costa, Avenue des Beaux-Arts and Boulevard des Moulins, steps from the Hôtel de Paris and the Jardins des Boulingrins. Landmark residences such as One Monte-Carlo and 26 Carré d'Or draw the family offices and relocating tax residents who transact quietly through private channels.

How to buy in Carré d'Or

Carré d'Or trades almost entirely off-market; a handful of branded-residence towers set the Principality's ceiling price.

The process

  1. 1

    Engage a Monaco advisor

    A licensed agent surfaces both listed and off-market stock and represents you through the deal — essential in a market where the best apartments never reach a portal.

  2. 2

    Offer & reservation

    On an accepted offer you sign a reservation and place a deposit, customarily around 10% held by the notaire.

  3. 3

    Notaire & compromis

    A Monégasque notaire (a public officer) drafts the sale agreement, runs title and charge checks, and secures the transaction for both sides.

  4. 4

    Funds & optional residency

    Arrange funds or private-bank financing. If you also want to reside, open a Monaco bank relationship and lodge the required deposit in parallel — buying itself needs no residency.

  5. 5

    Acte de vente

    The final deed is signed before the notaire, the balance and costs settle, and keys are handed over.
