Always the same at la Défense, depends on the side from which you look at it. 203m from the boulevard actual ground, 195m from the esplanade elevated deck. I can't remember where I'd got that height from, probably pss-archi as usual. It's only 8 little meters anyway. Of course the original 220m design would've been a little better to make it slightly more slender for a same floor area and rise a bit more over D2 that you can't miss from the redeveloping boulevard. Although if it's ever built the way it is now, I certainly won't complain about it.

I can't tell. Possibly, but it's been vacant for too long, now looking neglected. Also, there's a couple of too many buildings of Aurore's height along the esplanade, espcially around that very spot on which you get 4 buildings of that same height (~100m) in a row. Greater height variations will make it funnier.
