In this context, the City is set to build its first skyscraper in 40 years, a 180 meters high triangle which will house a 120-room hotel and 70,000 square metres of office space.
The base of Tour Triangle will be open to all, from the square of the Porte de Versailles and along the avenue Ernest Renan which regains the appearance of a Parisian street, with shops and restaurants. An elevated square, on level with the roofs of the City, will offer everyone a unique view of the district and the whole city. The Triangle will become one of the scenes of the metropolitan area.
