Unibail Gets Approval to Build $558 Million Skyscraper in Paris
by Francois De Beaupuy June 30, 2015
A plan by Unibail-Rodamco SE to build a 500 million-euro ($558 million) skyscraper at the southern edge of Paris was approved by the city council after the property group amended the office project to include a hotel.
The Tour Triangle will have 69,900 square meters (752,000 square feet) of offices, less than the 80,000 square meters planned in a previous project that was rejected in a city council vote in November. The project will also include a 120-room, four star hotel, co-working spaces as well as shops, child-care facilities and a restaurant.
“I always considered that the Tour Triangle was a great chance for Paris and the Greater Paris,” Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who’s backing the project, said Tuesday.
The plans were opposed by some of Hidalgo’s allies in the Green Party because they’re concerned about traffic congestion.
Paris has lagged behind cities including London in building office towers because some residents oppose them on aesthetic grounds. The Montparnasse office tower, built in 1973, remains one of the few Paris skyscrapers outside the La Defense financial district.
