About Tigné Point
Tigné Point is one of the most forward-looking and comprehensive real estate projects ever planned for Malta. Part of the circa €600 million Midi development, Tigné Point bridges the gap between the island's rich cultural heritage, and an altogether newer sense of luxury and sophistication.
Conceived as a mixed-use, lifestyle development, Tigné Point is currently best known for its luxurious apartments. Whilst these continue to attract buyers from different corners of the globe, the residential component of the project comprises just 55% of the area of the peninsula. This is complemented by ‘The Point’ shopping mall, Malta’s largest retail centre, and the car-free Pjazza Tigné - the heart of this mixed-use project and the largest square in the fashionable Sliema district. An international grade business block, known as The Centre, providing some 15,000sqm of office space.
Strong emphasis has been put on the restoration of the important historic sites in the area including Fort Tigné, St Luke’s Garrison Chapel, the Garden Battery and the Clock Tower blocks. These have now been restored to complement the contemporary architecture that characterises the site.
One of the most salient aspects of this project is the fact that all traffic has been routed underground, providing a unique car-free zone at ground level. The development also provides extensive open public spaces and a series of foreshore walkways.
