The space will become a hub for real estate businesses in the region . In addition to the eight-story building, there will also be office space, retail stores, a rooftop restaurant and bar, and a green garden for visitors to enjoy.

"East Paris is slowly coming into the spotlight, building and taking shape, completing and modifying an unfinished context. This project aims to build its culmination for the beginning of the century. It is about creating a character, a singularity that is in relation to the reality of the place, which reveals its particular beauty to invent and strengthen attractiveness", says Jean Nouvel's office. The asymmetrical towers are of different sizes: the tallest is 180 meters and the other 122 meters, respectively 39 and 27 floors. The facade inclined at an angle of 5° can be considered almost like an illustrious ancestor, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Source: DesignBoom
