3 ongoing construction sites in one shot from the 38th floor of the EDF tower in la Défense.
By the way, that would be called a 39th floor by US custom.
But here, a ground floor is never taken into account in floor count.
Just a tiny difference in customs here and a fun fact detail.
So you can see the old Aurore tower being refurbished.
They're addind 6 floors to it. Nothing much, but the structure that they're retaining couldn't stand any more additional floor.
So this will be optimal given the properties of the 1970 structure.
Then you get a view of Saint-Gobain and Alto closer to completion behind.

I didn't follow the story, but the Saint-Gobain site would've been facing technical difficulties.
That tower might end up disappointing. We expected something better from the company specialized in building materials.
They didn't even design the façade materials themselves, like their own products would be too pricey for their own corporation and needs.
Whatever.
Otherwise, everything is fine when it comes to Alto. It'll be a pretty neat building.
