After sparking discussions for years, the construction of the very controversial Tour Triangle has started in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, announced the Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield group.
Our colleagues from Le
Parisien
report that silos several meters high were already in place on the site this Wednesday.
This Tower, which must be 180 meters high for 42 floors, is intended to accommodate a four-star hotel, shared work spaces, a cultural space and a health center.
The project, launched in 2008, during the mandate of the former mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, and validated in 2015 under the mandate of Anne Hidalgo, raised many opponents.
Delivery expected in 2026
Elected environmentalists criticize a project with a “catastrophic” carbon footprint and castigate a construction “economically anachronistic and above ground”, while Philippe Goujon, the LR mayor of the 15th arrondissement is indignant with AFP that the district should be “disaster for several years", with an "uninterrupted ballet of trucks that will deliver concrete and four giant cranes..."
The Tour Triangle should be completed in 2026, at an estimated cost of 660 million euros.
It will then be the third tallest building in Paris, behind the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower.
