Malta's LEED-certified campus for tech, media, and knowledge-based businesses

SmartCity Malta is a purpose-built technology and media campus on the eastern coast in Kalkara, developed in partnership with the Government of Malta. Unlike Malta's traditional commercial districts, it's designed from the ground up as a self-sustained "work, live, play" community — combining Grade A office space with residential units, retail, restaurants, and open landscaped areas across the wider development.

Office sale prices at SmartCity typically range from €2,200 to €3,500 per sqm, reflecting the campus's modern infrastructure and LEED Silver-certified buildings. It's best suited to IT, media, education, and R&D operations looking for a collaborative, future-proof setting rather than a traditional standalone office.
