Reconversion Caserne Mellinet is a large urban renewal project in Nantes, France, on the site of the former Mellinet barracks. According to the project page, the redevelopment covers 13.5 hectares east of the city centre and aims to transform a former military site into an open, mixed neighbourhood integrated into its surroundings. The planned programme includes about 1,700 homes, alongside public facilities, economic activities, shared spaces, and the rehabilitation of several existing buildings that form part of the site’s heritage.
The project is presented as a gradual process led with local dialogue, involving residents and territorial stakeholders. Its stated objectives are to meet local needs for housing, services, and urban uses, while ensuring strong integration with the Saint-Donatien district. The emphasis on reusing existing buildings and improving public spaces suggests a redevelopment strategy that combines new construction with preservation of the site’s identity.
The developer identified on the page is Nantes Métropole Aménagement (NMA), the urban development company responsible for the project. The page title also confirms that this is a Nantes urban project managed by NMA.
