"53 million euros were invested. The main goal isn't a secret: to seduce all the companies moving to Paris after Brexit."

[...]

" A number of professors will be recruited around the world and French will not be the main language but English, Arabic, Mandarin or Korean will."

Repost (cause this is socially significant and progressive), the latest social housing over Rive Gauche, 13th arrondissement.

Way under construction.

This is no "exclusive area", but quite urban and socially diverse.

It is supposed to host some micro units and a nursery to help poor immigrants here.
I'm proud of it. This is our Christian duty, our genuine local noble generosity.

Just hope the mediocre public employees of the city and of the Fr state won't manage to steal it from African immigrants.
They specialize in stealing taxpayer money over here...

I'd rather give money to Malian workers who're useful, actually building stuff than to the Fr little officials who're often helpless.
They had this insulting commentary coming for making fun of "foyers maliens" (Malian micro communities over Central Paris) on SSP (edit: sorry, I meant Fr-speaking SSC; I'm not even a member out there, cause they would make me run out of patience).
It pissed me off. That will teach them.

^ That's fair. They have taste and can afford it, eh?
They wouldn't pick anything too garish, and who doesn't like this old creamy limestone?
Typical and stylish local texture.

Very nice contemporary touch to that ceiling, too.
That's a good deal.

"Brexit: Paris still attracts London bankers, despite 'yellow vests'"

Isabelle Chaperon & Véronique Chocron
12/10/2018
Le Monde
https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/arti...5057_3234.html

"Social anger does not affect job relocation demands in France, despite competition from Frankfurt or Dublin."

"Can the mobilization of "yellow vests" challenge these projects in favor of Frankfurt or Dublin? "We have no indication of a change of plan from banks that have decided to relocate teams in Paris, says Marc Perrone, lawyer specializing in banking regulation at Linklaters, consulting firm of several US and international institutions in the United States. The big banks that are already very advanced in their planning, who rented premises in Paris, have, in any case, no time to change their tune, in a few months. "

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO IS OPENING A NEW CAMPUS IN PARIS

"An American flagship in Paris. The University of Chicago (Illinois), one of the most prestigious academic institutions on the planet, has chosen to set up its base in the French capital for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Since 2002, it has had a branch in the 13th arrondissement for its young graduates, doctoral students and teacher-researchers wishing to spend one or two semesters on the Old Continent."

^ Nice to have them.

There must be a serious and growing culture of IT and AI in Illinois's colleges.
I hear they're involved in good projects and advanced research, much like the worldwide renown MIT and Caltech.

A little bit of their presence and some exchange will not hurt locally.

Talk about productivity...

Vincent on Vinci's new headquarters in Nanterre.

They manage to have 10 tower cranes on that same site.
Or maybe a dozen? Idk whether we can see them all on this shot. Lol.
That might be a record on this forum.

I was a bit shocked by the size of the parking garage that must be underground, though.
800 cars. Too many over Nanterre these days. Especially when they'll have a brand new RER station nearby.
They are being spoiled, huh.

Still impressed by the cranes, and all the coordination it must require from operators.

rgarri4 · #**1033** Posted **Jan 20, 2019, 1:35 AM**

Amazing!
Do they really need that many cranes?

mousquet · #**1034** Posted **Jan 20, 2019, 1:54 AM**

^ Honestly, I have no idea.

All I know is Vinci would be the world's largest construction corporation by revenue, so they got to know how to manage their business.

You can see what they're building for themselves in Nanterre here.
Far from super tall (they're no bank or anything of that kind), but it's kinda large. And they've been fast to implement it.
That corporation is a monster locally, and probably globally.

Amazing view of La Défense

https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showt...576821&page=45

mousquet · #**1037** Posted **Feb 16, 2019, 1:45 PM**

Doesn't look bad in the daylight either, though.
Very same view, still on EC2015's Flickr account.

This last one must be at sunrise or maybe sunset; hard to make the difference.

Some materials here and there may be a bit sloppy and/or cheap, but overall, it's quite decent. It probably got some cool modern feel à la Tokyo or Seoul, so to speak.
It seems the district is managing to modernize itself and find some luster back.

As far as the skyline goes, the main concern is the safety regulation deterring any developer or investor from going beyond 200m.
As a result, no tower would get through that kind of artificial ceiling set to that height by the local regulation.
They're a pain with their harsh regulations, huh!?

Now right on the spot, it'd be great to further refurbish the giant artificial ground of it. I think more trees and pedestrian alleys would be very welcome.
It would certainly take urban planning geniuses and billions and billions of euros to make it properly.

Whatever, there's no need for complaining too loudly, for now.

New project

colemonkee · #**1040** Posted **Mar 12, 2019, 5:00 AM**

^ Those look really nice. Though we should be honest with ourselves: the greenery depicted in highrise renderings never looks like that in the real built environment. Still, that's a nice cluster developing there.
