Unveiling of Telfair, Moka’s vibrant new city centre

The quintessential live, work, play destination in the heart of the island, Moka continues to develop according to its master plan, designed with key sustainable urban planning principles in mind. Telfair is a dynamic new city centre that is about to unveil its first phase to the public. But why is this neighbourhood already generating so much buzz?

Mixed-use: The watchword for fulfilling days

Designed around La Promenade, the city centre caters to all your daily needs, making life easier and more enjoyable. The buildings lining this expansive pedestrian avenue house a mix of restaurants, bars, cafés, boutiques and shops on the ground floor, with office space occupying the upper floors. Major companies like PwC have already recognised Telfair’s potential and are moving to this thriving neighbourhood.

Additionally, office space is increasing at The Dot and the first owners will soon move into the residences under construction at Telfair Views. Future residents and professionals alike will appreciate the extensive range of nearby services, including a filling station and a broad choice of restaurants within walking distance. The neighbourhood’s shaded, tree-lined paths also encourage daily well-being and soft mobility.

More than a major real estate development, Telfair is designed as a lifestyle space. The city centre is set to get livelier each day with Oficea delivering the first four buildings (with 17,000m² of office and retail space) that will be accommodating the first businesses and shops from June 2024. Commercial plots in the western part of Telfair have also been sold to six companies, which have committed to start construction in the coming months.

There is already so much to experience and discover in Telfair!

Telfair caters to all the requirements of daily living, with everything users would expect. From breakfast to the essential after-work drinks at one of its rooftop bars and dinner, good food and togetherness are a cornerstone of the city centre’s philosophy. It promises wonderful family moments and unforgettable evenings with friends or colleagues!

Various activities can be integrated into your daily life, including free sports classes at the Telfair Amphitheatre and Friday musical events. There are many things to on your own, with your partner or with your family, such as jogging along La Promenade or cycling.

Telfair is also the perfect rallying point for major city events. Open-air cinema evenings, the Moka Food Festival and the Moka Decathlon Night Run – a sports enthusiasts’ favourite in the heart of the island – attract thousands of participants each year. Concerts, performances, exhibitions and other events proliferate along La Promenade, an effortlessly welcoming space.

Accessibility: Telfair’s key feature

Strategically located in the heart of Moka, Telfair gives access to the best that the centre of the island has to offer. Situated just 15 minutes from Port Louis and 5 minutes from Ebene, it directly connects users to the country’s main business hubs via major motorways.

Telfair prioritises soft mobility within its central area, with wide sidewalks and pedestrian paths encouraging users to leave their cars behind or in a nearby parking lot to reconnect with their environment and each other. Whether you prefer cycling, walking or using an electric scooter, you only have to choose your preferred mode of transport!

The icing on the cake is Telfair’s direct connection via La Promenade to the future Sports Centre and Martial Noël Park, just 500 metres away.
