Standing at a height of 180 meters it will be the third tallest structure in the French capital after they raised the height limit for new buildings. This tower will house a 120 room hotel, a fine dining restaurant, a bar and 70000 square meters of office space. It also offers daycare facilities for about 60 children and other community facilities in the lower levels.
