Thumbs up PARIS | Duo | 115 & 175 m (377 & 574 ft) | 25 & 39 floors

This is part of the Paris Rive Gauche redevelopment plan, i.e. located in the area of the 13th arrondissement currently redeveloped. On the edge of the city.

Developers: Ivanhoé Cambridge / Hines
Design: Ateliers Jean Nouvel

A developer from Montreal, QC and another from Houston, TX in da same house, they would invest €500 to 600 mi in there.
  • 63,000 m² (678,000 sq ft) of offices
  • 15,000 m² (161,000 sq ft) for a hotel
  • 10,000 m² (107,000 sq ft) of 'activités' (?? whatever they mean by 'activities')
  • 2,000 m² (21,000 sq ft) of retail

More accurately, the project is in the Masséna-Bruneseau neighborhood that looks like nothing exciting for now, right there along the ring highway and those rail tracks.
Architect Yves Lion's firm is in charge of planning the redevelopment of Masséna-Bruneseau, this is promoting their work.



So the 'tour de bureaux de 180 m de hauteur' was standing for this project Duo, the design was still unknown back then. The 2 other buildings are residential, I think those 2 are correct renders.
Yves Lion's plan would specify 3 more highrises (designs not known yet) in that neighborhood, as shown by better renders on his site.

Oh, of course some unfriendly legal appeals are expected as well but the project is gladly supported by the local government, so it's likely to get built. Work is said to begin in early 2014, it would be completed in 2018 then.
