About Fort Chambray

Fort Chambray is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting property investment opportunities, in the Mediterranean and Europe.

The project is split into three unique phases, two of which are complete. A unique sense of individualism and great respect for the past and the local environment has been injected into every stage of the project’s development.

It is impossible to go back and change our history, but you can be a part of its future. Fort Chambray offers the unique chance to co-own a little bit of history within these protected bastion walls. The developers have placed huge emphasis on ensuring the preservation of this incredible site, but at the same time, they are creating something that is tailored to the needs of the future. You will have freehold ownership of your own property, but the beauty of this opportunity is that you will also have co-ownership of the Fort Chambray community: a hive of activity and a center of five-star living, luxury, and sophistication.

Fort Chambray has been identified as a designated area, and non-residents can buy as many units as they wish. One of the most wonderful aspects of the development is that each and every individual property has its own unique layout and feel.

PHASE 1 of the project has now been completed and residents are slowly moving in. This section comprises a mix of villas and maisonettes, some with private pools. There are a total of 64 properties within this phase and one communal pool.

PHASE 2 offers either single-floor 2-bed roomed units, or three-bedroomed duplex units. The units located on the ground floor are complemented by generous terrace spaces, whereas duplexes have privately owned roofs. A large number of units are south-facing and enjoy unobstructed sea views. All units enjoy internal development views and the north-facing units also enjoy country views from both the living and bedroom spaces. Phase 2 is complemented by a 1200 sqr meter pool and ample space for a deck area.

PHASE 3 is the last stage of completion of the Fort Chambray complex, and incorporates the Knights’ Barracks and Polverista which will be converted into commercial outlets that include retail, food & beverage and entertainment. This phase will also include a superior deluxe boutique spa hotel, offering amenities to the residents.

Facilities The concept surrounding Fort Chambray is that it will grow to become a self-contained village with all the modern facilities that today’s luxury lifestyle requires. The residential areas promise to be quiet havens while the communal and commercial sections of the complex will be bustling and full of life, offering residents a nice variety of options for day-to-day living. Investors are buying an integrated package that will incorporate lavish communal areas including pools and gardens, restaurants, bars, shops, and a boutique hotel, with all amenities.

Restoration Historically, the Knights of Malta always intended Fort Chambray to be an entire development, a city planned in a grid-like fashion and incorporating the Knights’ Barracks strategically located at the fulcrum of the whole settlement. The concept has since been developed further to make best use of the historical assets located within the Fort, found at a series of nodes and landscaped open spaces in public, public, and private areas. This strong urban design concept lies at the foundation of the development’s design, with the resulting blocks located in a manner that exploits the views out of the Fort (both seaward and inward country views), and with the future blocks planned to respect the original historical intent and configuration that links up and relates to the individual historical landmarks and public areas.

Architectural Features Designing in such a heavily historical and committed context requires a sensible and intelligent approach that does not copy or reproduce, but that reinterprets existing motifs to create a new and complementing design that blends in the particular context that is Fort Chambray, as opposed to competing with the surrounding architectural features. The design objectives have therefore revolved around finding new ways of reinterpreting traditional vernacular architecture and complementing the stonework with timber, metal, and glass in a balanced and orderly manner.

An Environmentally-Sensitive Approach A strong and consistent environmental and energy-efficient approach has been adopted throughout the entire development, from the design of the residential blocks to the open spaces that surround them. The residential blocks are worked in pairs, separated by a partially covered internal street that creates a temperate transitional space between the more exposed outer areas and the internal environments. Indeed, soft and hard landscaping is a prevailing element within the whole project -the open areas are embellished by trees that naturally shade a number of areas, together with a number of water elements (both public water features and private pools within the residences) that help cool the spaces further during the hot summer months.

On a micro-scale, the external walls of all the residences are double-leaf cavity walls whilst all glazing used is low-emissivity, double glazing, and the majority of apertures are further supplied with external louvers to block out the sun if required while permitting the opening of the internal glazed aperture even on rainy days to ventilate the rooms. All these measures provide acceptable U-values that comply with the EU’s Energy Directive and that g
