Arch : Zaha Hadid
29 floors, 148 m (486 ft)
Completion : 2008
The "tour CGM" is part of a redevelopment project, Euroméditerranée, that started ten years ago.
Three high-rises are currently planned, including CGM. (The other two are designed by Jean Nouvel and Massimiliano Fuksas)

BEAUTIFUL! (as Zaha's work is, without fail)
Good to see France getting highrise action, particularly in the south.

Shame it's wedged between overpass ramps.

That's true. I've been there several times and I'm very skeptical about this location.

I actually like the location. Cities the world over are filled with virtually unusable plots wedged between infrastructure. Lowrise infill won't work. The only option is something which will elevate the occupants above the noise of the highway. Ergo a tower.
It's land use at least.

How could I have forgotten about this building..! I remember this being one of my favorites proposed, and after all this time it's shaping together quite beautifully. :)

I like building shape but I am not sure about glass color and quality. It looks dirty.
