A pleasant and sustainable place to live, work, shop and relax
For the development of the Cloche d'Or project, Nextensa is in a joint venture with Promobe, a major player in real estate development in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In the context of this joint venture, we refer to Grossfeld (joint venture between Promobe and Nextensa).
The Cloche d’Or is innovative and sustainable, symbolic of the New Urban Living in Luxembourg. A pioneering urban district giving preference to agility and sustainability. A pleasant place to work, live, shop and relax. Combining housing offices, shops and leisure facilities, the Cloche d’Or aims to be a mixed and vibrant district. By 2035, around 45,000 people will live, work, study or have fun here.
Since the beginning of summer 2024, a new tram line has been connecting this urban district to the city of Luxembourg.
Housing
This district combines the needs of today’s city dwellers with an ambitious view of sustainability. The housing units in the residential areas offer contemporary interiors filled with light, boasting high-end finishes and communal areas bathed in sunlight. Advanced home automation enables them to control their home from a distance. Residents have restaurants, shops, health services, offices, schools and parks close at hand. The pedestrian areas and cycle paths promote alternative transport in the Cloche d'Or district, while easy access by bus, tram and train enables people to visit Luxembourg city or the green setting of Gasperich Park and Kockelscheuer with ease. The nearby motorways bring France, Belgium and Germany within reach.
