0179Les Vernets Geneva
Thanks to the high quality of life Geneva offers, the city is enjoying continuous job and population growth. Through densification, the quarter Praille Acacias Vernets offers an opportunity to expand the number of city-centre work, residential, and recreational spaces. The premises of the former barracks of Les Vernets on the banks of the Arve River was vacated by the army, and has now been made available for a project which comprises approximately 1500 residential units and associated service providers, along with leisure and recreational activities.
