The Hermitage Towers compared to some other famous skyscrapers in Europe and in the rest of the world. The last floors of the Hermitage Towers will be about as high as the last floors of the Empire State Building!

The Hermitage Towers compared to the Montparnasse Tower, Paris's current tallest skyscraper. No comment!

Congratulations Metropolitan, very beautiful towers. I expect they built them.

also, what is the Salle des Marches?

"salles des marchés" is a translation for trading room (stock exchange)

thanks raph, I get it.... the building is for trading floors for societe generale. They are really going to have quite the complex in la defense now. But I am surprised they are building a separate building however. They didn't get enough space in Tour Granite for trading floors?

I like the Hermitage Plaza - but I'll believe it when I see it. Buildings that tall in Western Europe seems to have problems gettign realized.

Awesome looking tower!

AJphx · #**339** Posted **Jul 16, 2009, 10:02 AM**

boo to Gan renovation! but hasn't it been canceled? I thought I saw that but wasn't sure.

also are there any possible plans for the awful camouflage towers? I think one simple thing to greatly improve them would be just to paint them a single color. of course a renovation would be even better with bigger windows and glass.

Minato Ku · #**340** Posted **Jul 16, 2009, 2:54 PM**

Yes and no, Gan tower is under in renovation but the height and the design will remain the same.
