| Bouygues Immobilier sells Mozart Tower Bouygues Immobilier has sold the Mozart Tower to Les Docks Lyonnais, an investor, for €484 million. The tower, with a net floor area of 45,500 sq. metres, is located in the heart of the new Seine Ouest business district of Issy-les-Moulineaux on the site of the former EDF Tower. The flagship building of the Seine Ouest development, the Mozart Tower will house the future headquarters of Bouygues Telecom from 2010. It has been designed by the American firm Arquitectonica. In the same way as the whole Seine Ouest development, the Mozart Tower will be a showcase for Bouygues Immobilier's expertise in sustainable development. The High Environmental Quality (HQE) certified building will use 50% less energy than standard offices built to current regulations (NRT 2005). To meet the challenge, Bouygues Immobilier has made use of the latest innovations, including photovoltaic panels, solar cells, lighting and heating regulation systems, latest-generation double-glazing and rainwater collection. The sale of the Mozart Tower comes just a month after the sale of the Meudon technical centre, the future nerve centre of Bouygues Telecom, to the investor Commerz Grundbesitz. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
