€32M student-housing building close to completion in la Défense, by Vincent on SSC.





€820 a month for a tiny 16 m² (172 ft²) studio in there; way too much for most local students who're completely broke by definition.

People are right to be complaining about that, but I would say patience.
This type of projects is very good to upgrade local standards.

Needless to say, for now, only those whose parents can afford to pay €800+ per month to lease a studio as narrow as a cupboard will be in there.
The very local environment is nonetheless stimulating for students. It's all about business...
Some would say it might just be a bit too much of barbaric capitalism, but they won't let themselves go brainwashed anyway.
There's always something rebellious on young students' minds, right?

All in all, I'm happy about this. Just hoping the next similar projects will be more affordable, as a result of competition between developers.
