This is great, but I'm fed up with these wannabe Manhattan names. They sometimes do the same here, calling la Défense "le Manhattan français" (the French Manhattan), which sounds pretty pitiful to my ears.
Also, we don't get any significant residential tower here yet, cause it's too disturbing to the egalitarian dream of our left wing. The simple fact that the richer would live the upper floors scares them to death. They're sick with social jealousy.
Otherwise, you'd see plenty popping up over here.
