“Passage Morillons is fully in line with the expectations of companies and international organisations in Geneva.”

Passage Morillons offers a new range of of business and commercial spaces in the Nations district What advantages does this development offer future tenants?
Setting up your business in Passage Morillons, a stone’s throw from the Jardin des Nations, means being at the heart of the international organisations’ quarter and benefiting from easy access to public transport and excellent road links – a mere 10 minutes from the lake. The lush green setting is particularly pleasant, and the range of services and shops is much sought-after in the Nations neighbourhood. People-oriented, this development contributes significantly to the neighbourhood’s functional and social diversity and therefore to its positive transformation.
Speaking about this development, you mention diversity and proximity; can you tell us more?
In terms of the Nations district, Passage Morillons is a breath of fresh air. With its shopping arcades and areas dedicated to services and restaurants, the project is conceived as a new place open and and welcoming to all.
The users of the business spaces in Building B also benefit from this openness and diversity, as it allows them to work in a unique natural environment as well as do their shopping, eat, and use numerous services on site. Passage Morillons meets their daily needs, while being at the heart of a neighbourhood fostering conviviality and professional interaction.
The development is also well-served by public transport, and the extension of the tram 15 line will make it all the more accessible. Running alongside the site, the future Route des Nations also puts it on the major axis linking the airport to the city-centre. On site, bike lanes and pedestrian paths encourage soft mobility. To ensure efficient management, the underground car park is shared. Lastly, the green spaces are a real asset – both for getting fresh air and for enjoying unobstructed views from the offices.
What types of use are the office areas designed for?
Because of its location in the heart of the Nations district, Passage Morillons is suited to Geneva’s international organisations and to other private players alike. In this high energy performance (HEP) development, the current floors in Building B are entirely dedicated to office space and lend themselves to all types of layouts. Its modern spaces offer over 400sqm of divisible rental space. The big windows on all sides offer lovely natural light and a view of the neighbourhood and its green spaces, and – from the top floors – a sweeping view of the lake and the mountains.
In addition, the mezzanine floor links the offices on the upper floors and the commercial areas on the ground floor, and allows businesses in the service sector, for example, to serve the occupants of Passage Morillons and external visitors alike.
