The Government of Mauritius introduced the Smart City Scheme in 2015 to promote investment in intelligent, innovative and sustainable urban developments across the country. Moka was issued with a Smart City Certificate by the Economic Development Board in 2017 and is now open to foreigners for freehold ownership.
The Smart City Scheme is a new investment option aimed at enhancing the national property landscape. It is hinged on the pillars of innovation, sustainability, efficiency and quality of life.
The scheme presents various advantages for foreign buyers, including:
• The possibility to resell the property
• A residence permit with a minimum purchase price of USD 350,000
• ICT-enabled urban services for residents, with smart sensors across the city
• A reduced environmental footprint
• Constantly improving mobility solutions
• High-quality infrastructure
