A new report finds them clocking in at €53,000 per square meter.
Luxury residential real estate values in Monaco reached €53,000 (US$61,832) per square meter in the second quarter of 2017, according to a new report by Knight Frank.
The tiny, independent region on the French Riviera has led Knight Frank’s annual global comparison of residential values since 2008, the report said, and was followed by Hong Kong, New York and London.
“Monaco remains at the top of global wish lists,” said Kate Everett-Allen, head of international residential research at Knight Frank, “with no other city in the world boasting the same wealth density.”
Prices are being supported by a lack of new development. Not one residential unit was completed in the Principality in 2016, according to the report released Monday, likely to put further pressure on prices in the short to medium term. While there is residential development underway, it’s a way from completion, the report said, and 75% of properties under construction are either social housing or high-end built-to-let apartments.

With its only opportunity for expansion to extend into the sea, Monaco’s latest €2 billion land reclamation program will see six hectares of new land created from Sicilian sand, according to the report.
On it will sit 120 new high-end apartments, whose prices will be in excess of €100,000 (US$116,659) per square meter, prices that ultra prime stock in Monaco are already achieving, especially in places like the affluent Carré d’Or area. Of those 120 units being built, 50 have already been retained by the developer, leaving just 70 to be sold, the report said.
Knight Frank estimates that by 2026 Monaco will be home to 16,100 millionaires and 1,450 ultra high net worth individuals.

How Many Animals Have Died for Damien Hirst’s Art to Live? We Counted. Nearly one million, by our conservative estimate. Damien Hirst is back . More than a decade after he last made headlines, the artist has a new exhibition at François Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi and Punta Della Dogana in Venice with a new body of work that delves into the imagined story of an ancient collector and the shipwreck that consigned his treasures to the bottom of the sea. One of the many noteworthy elements of the show? It doesn’t contain the unusual art material that has powered Hirst’s most famous work: the dead bodies of animals. Ever since his explosive entry to the British art scene with his 1990 masterpiece One Thousand Years —a vitrine featuring a rotting cow skull that breeds maggots that become flies that meet their end from a buzzing bug zapper above—Hirst has made mortality the great theme of his oeuvre. He deploys real cadavers in gallery settings to confront viewers with the...
‘Radical Women’ at the Hammer Museum Is the Kind of Show That Art Critics Live For It leaves you wanting more, and asking questions. “ Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985 ” at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, is not just a fantastic exhibition. It’s the kind of exhibition that people always say we need more of—as regular as a ticking clock—every time the latest selfie-courting contemporary-art spectacular provokes a new spasm of anguish from critics about the decline of the museum. Based on six years of research, “Radical Women” is a serious and scholarly show. And yet at the same time it feels like its own kind of crowd-pleaser. You don’t have to choose between being smart and being popular if you’re telling a story that feels necessary. And “Radical Women” has necessary stories to spare.

David Choe’s Controversial Bowery Mural Targeted in Protest Against Rape Culture The art world is protesting after David Choe bragged about a questionable sexual encounter. The Bowery Mural, currently home to a controversial work by street artist David Choe, will be the site of an anti-rape protest and performance art piece titled “NO MEANS NO” on June 18.
