Glossario della Riviera
I termini dell'ultra-prime — spiegati con chiarezza.
- Off-market
- A property sold privately and never advertised publicly. Access is granted discreetly through advisors to qualified buyers — common for trophy Riviera assets where the owner values privacy.
- Ultra-prime
- The top tier — roughly the most expensive 1% — of a market by price and quality. On the Riviera this means Monaco trophy apartments and Cap-Ferrat waterfront estates.
- IFI
- Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière — the French wealth tax on net real-estate assets above €1.3M, charged 0.5–1.5%. Applies to French property, not Monaco.
- Branded residence
- A home built, serviced or managed under a luxury brand (a hotel marque or designer house), pairing ownership with hospitality-grade service and a price premium.
- Viager
- A French sale in which the buyer pays the occupant-seller a lump sum plus a life annuity; the buyer takes full possession on the seller's passing.
- SCI
- Société Civile Immobilière — a French civil company that holds real estate, easing succession and shared ownership by transferring shares rather than the asset itself.
- Prime €/m²
- The benchmark price per square metre for top-tier stock in a given area — the metric behind the MonacoTop Riviera Prime Index.
- Berth
- A moored slip in a marina or port where a yacht is kept. On the Riviera a prime berth (Monaco, Antibes' Quai des Milliardaires) is a scarce, tradable asset in its own right.
