This week, the mayor of Nice bangs his fist on the table again and threatens the operator of the premises "to initiate a termination for fault".

According to the elected official, Urban Renaissance, holder of an emphyteutic lease granted by the city for a period of 45 years, chose "the strategy of disintegration", while the site of the Liberation district is facing significant difficulties.

The company mandated to try to relaunch Gare du Sud in June 2021 has been placed in compulsory liquidation.

"Favor an alternative project"

At this stage, the financial conditions for takeovers set by Urban Renaissance are unacceptable, ”says Christian Estrosi in a press release.

The mayor "appeals to the spirit of responsibility" and asks Urban Renaissance to provide him with "guarantees" on his desire "to promote an alternative project".

In other words, to hand over.

Otherwise, he "would initiate termination proceedings for misconduct" in "the coming weeks".
