Construction of the controversial Tour Triangle skyscraper could begin

After years of delays and controversy, it looks as if the construction of the Tour Triangle skyscraper, designed by the Swiss studio Herzog & de Meuron, can begin.

The construction of the Tour Triangle has attracted a lot of criticism in recent years, and the mayor of the district that provides the site, Philippe Goujon, is still opposed to the construction of the unusual-looking building. According to Mr. Goujon, changed working conditions in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak no longer justify the development of such a building, but it now looks as if construction could start before the end of this year. The Tour Triangle would provide offices, a conference center, shops, restaurants and a hotel. If completed (currently scheduled for 2026), it would be the third tallest building in Paris.
