As works progress well to deliver Phase One of SmartCity Malta by 2010, the state-of-the-art ICT and media city in Ricasoli now has its own personalised postcode, SCM 1001.

The personalised postcode means that SmartCity Malta can provide its prospective tenants with distinct postcodes depending on the building that they are located in within the township. This is another tangible step which grounds SmartCity Malta into an immediate reality, with a personalised address as part of the package.

“ICT and media are an increasingly competitive and sophisticated business and the address they operate from makes all the difference to their portfolio,” said SmartCity Malta CEO Claudio Grech. “The SmartCity Malta address is the statement companies want to invest in, as it is a determining factor to enhance their corporate image. The personalised postcode now adds that extra touch, also proving that the SmartCity Malta ambition is becoming the reality the business community in the sector is looking forward to.”

With a minimum investment outlay equivalent to US$ 300 million, SmartCity Malta is expected to transform Malta into the Mediterranean capital for ICT and media industries, providing complete technical infrastructure for ICT, film, television, music production and allied fields, including comprehensive production and post-production facilities and support services.

SmartCity Malta’s Phase One will provide a unique experience for business and lifestyle alike, entailing a mix of components to cater for the knowledge-based township community’s needs such as office space, shopping boulevards and residential units. Within SmartCity Malta Phase One, the majority of the space is dedicated to ICT and media office space – an impressive 20,034 sqm – providing a thoughtful environment, intelligent infrastructure and premium support services. This exceptional blend of business and lifestyle is what distinguishes SmartCity Malta as the prevalent destination for local, regional and international companies to set up their operations catering to the European and North African markets.
