New Vernets district
Born from one of Geneva's biggest urban transformations, the Quai Vernets project (former Vernets barracks) aims to create a vibrant, sustainable neighborhood open to all, integrating a diversity of local activities.
To strengthen social cohesion and revitalize public spaces, 20 commercial arcades ranging from 30 to 269 m² are being made available to project leaders in six business sectors between 2026 and 2027. Of these 20 arcades, 7 are still available!
Are you looking for an arcade and interested in taking part in the life of the future district in the heart of Geneva? Don't hesitate to apply!
Three Restaurant arcades are available. Each arcade has a different advertisement.
Arcade B10
Arcade B10 is located in block B. Its entrance opens directly onto the neighborhood square with the school and the main pedestrian walkway. The rear of the arcade is partially glazed and faces the heart of the block.
It has 258m2 of usable floor space.
The rent price per m² of usable floor area per year is CHF 150.
A storage area of 40m² is available in the basement. The rent is generally between 80 and 100.-/m²/year.
The arcade benefits from ventilation allowing for hot food service (oven, professional cooking plates, etc.).
The possibility of installing a temporary or permanent terrace is not yet guaranteed due to noise restrictions in the neighborhood. Steps are being taken to negotiate this possibility. However, we remain optimistic.
There is only one emergency exit. The maximum capacity of the room is therefore 50 people.
This arcade is adjacent to a "Sale" arcade and the Community Centre.
A strategic location
Located in the heart of the future Quai Vernets district, 100% pedestrianized
