Phillipe bought the property from a Formula One driver who had been a rising star in the last two seasons but was suddenly dropped from his team and now without a contract was obliged to sell.<br/><br/>Unlike many developments in Monaco that are very restricted in footprint due to the proximity of other properties, or which must be shoe-horned into the skeletons of much older structures which the local planning laws require must retain their traditional facades, this development is spacious as it takes up the whole boundary of the demolished Louis Bretonne Hotel, which occupied the site from the 1970s through to the early 2000's.<br/><br/>Set against a steep hillside, the tower is eleven stories high but is, unusually, accessed on the sixth storey, with five more above street level and six below. The street level storey itself houses an indoor pool and gymnasium open to residents only, as well as services and managers office. Of the five above street floors, there are two half-size apartments on each floor but the penthouse apartmnet occupies the whole of the top floor and thus Monsieur Creaux's property has balconies or<em>loggia</em>to north, south, east and west, something extremely rare in Monaco.
