Sea Breeze at MIPIM 2026: International Debut and New Partnerships
The Sea Breeze project was presented for the first time at the international real estate exhibition MIPIM 2026, held from March 10 to 13 in Cannes, one of the key global platforms for showcasing development and investment projects.
Sea Breeze’s debut became a notable event for the international professional community. Throughout the week, the project’s 180 sq. m stand served as a major attraction point for investors, architects, developers, and representatives of international media. Countries including the United Kingdom, Belgium, Brazil, Oman, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Albania, and others presented their projects.
On the opening day of the exhibition, the official inauguration of the Sea Breeze stand took place. The ceremony was attended by Philippe Réan, Managing Director of RX France, Nicolas Boffi, Director of MIPIM, and Leyla Abdullayeva, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to France. The opening was followed by an official presentation of the project. Emin Agalarov, founder of Sea Breeze Resort, presented the long-term development strategy for the Caspian coastline, emphasizing that the project is being developed as a fully integrated urban environment with comprehensive infrastructure.
Architectural models of key projects from the new development phase were showcased at the Sea Breeze stand, including Halfmoon Island and the Caspian Dream Liner complex. As part of the exhibition program, a presentation was delivered by Darren Comber, CEO of the international architectural firm Scott Brownrigg, who oversees the master plan for the territory and its artificial islands.
This year, Azerbaijan was represented at MIPIM with not only one of its key development projects but also video content displayed on central screens, highlighting the country’s tourist destinations and demonstrating its growing investment potential and new development directions.
Throughout the week, the Sea Breeze team held dozens of meetings with investors, developers, and architectural firms, and gave a number of interviews to international media, including Financial Times, Forbes, Le Figaro, and Gala. Project founder Emin Agalarov discussed prospects for cooperation with international partners and architects working on key Sea Breeze facilities. Shaun Killa is among them, he is an architect and the author of the Cipriani Tower project, which is set to become the tallest building in Azerbaijan.
On March 12, a strategic agreement was signed to establish a specialized residence for senior citizens within Sea Breeze. The document was signed by Sea Breeze founder Emin Agalarov, Konstantin Grinfeld, CEO of the international medical cluster Sea Breeze Health Valley, and Boris Levin, Vice President and co-founder of Mediterranean Towers Assisted Living.
The agreement covers the development of an exclusive hospitality-style residence for seniors. The new complex will combine comfortable living, medical support, and recreational spaces. The project will be implemented based on the 30 years of experience of Mediterranean Towers in creating and managing modern senior living residences that provide residents with medical care, as well as social, cultural, and educational programs.
The project will become part of the Sea Breeze Health Valley medical cluster infrastructure and will introduce modern international standards of senior living and care to the region.
The culmination of Sea Breeze’s participation in MIPIM was a private cocktail event for partners, investors, architects, and representatives of international media. The evening brought together guests involved in the project’s development and international promotion, serving as a symbolic conclusion to the exhibition’s business program.
“For Sea Breeze, participation in MIPIM is an opportunity to present the project to the international professional community and demonstrate the scale of development of a city on the Caspian coast. We are consistently entering the global stage and plan to take part in key international exhibitions to build new partnerships and attract investors from around the world,” said Emin Agalarov.
Sea Breeze’s first participation in MIPIM marked an important step in the project’s international positioning and confirmed the growing interest of the global professional community in the resort city on the Caspian coast. The exhibition opened up new opportunities for cooperation with international partners and for further development of the project on a global level.
