Codata Factsheet | Nice city centre

Each month, Codata selects a city centre that has been recently studied by our team of data-collectors in order to share the latest trends observed on site.

Last March, our team of data-collectors conducted the annual census of the city centre of Nice. The cluster encompasses two commercial sites totalling 1,500 locations, of which 1,268 are occupied by shops.

Commercial sites included in the city centre of Nice:

• Shopping streets
• Nicetoile (shopping centre)

Commercial vacancy rate has diminished: the proportion of empty retail locations went from 9.4% to 9.0% from 2023 to 2024.

In terms of activities distribution, the three most-represented activity in the city centre remain the same as last year.

The activity “Café-Hotel-Restaurant” still ranks first in this top 3 with an occupancy rate of 24.4% (i.e. 309 locations occupied).

Second place goes to the “Clothing” activity with a 15.4% occupation rate (i.e. 195 shops). Finally, the activity “Services” closes the ranking with a 14.6% occupation rate (i.e. 185 shops). Unlike last year, when it decreased by 0.6 point, the proportion of retailers is increasing: 38.1% in 2023 compared with 38.6% in 2024.
