Making Mauritius smarter

The Government of Mauritius launched the Smart City Scheme in 2015 to promote innovation, sustainable development, efficiency and quality of life.

ENL Property subsequently embraced this vision of a sustainable Mauritius and embarked on a Smart City certification process for Moka, whose integrated development has been underway for almost 15 years.

A few years later, in 2022, ENL Property wishes to leverage the experience gained as the developer of Moka Smart City to deploy an ambitious project in Savannah, in the south of the island.
