PARIS | AIR² | 195 m / 640 ft | 43 floors

Finally opening its own thread cause it's quite likely to be built.
Renderings from defense-92.fr.





Well known render including 4 new towers, 3 of them currently U/C (Majunga, Carpe Diem, D2):

When AIR² stuck to D2 to the left on the render is U/C as well, this whole thing gets real.

AIR² is nicknamed la tulipe (well known flower) because of its shape. From above:


Note that its height is actually 666 ft - sorry, can't help but thinking of the superstitious interpreting the Bible in their creepy way - that's 203 m from the natural ground on D2's side. Both towers are obviously closely connected, creating a better connection between the slab (the esplanade) and the north ring boulevard, which is a very interesting improvement. AIR²'s height is indeed 640 ft taken from the slab level.

Use: office (roughly 860k sq ft)
Design: Arquitectonica / Arte Charpentier Architectes
Developers: Bouygues Immobilier / BNP Paribas Immobilier
Investor: Carlyle Group

It will take obsolete Aurore tower's place. The demolition is to begin this spring.
