The planning, logistics and construction methods have been developed by BESIX Engineering, the in-house design office of BESIX, in order to optimally reduce the impact on local mobility, the neighbourhood and the operation of the Parc des Expositions. BESIX Engineering will also carry out the execution studies for the structure and will provide support for those dedicated to the façade.
The Tour Triangle will include office space, a conference centre, but also a health centre, a cultural centre, a crèche, a hotel and a restaurant. The building's carbon footprint will be controlled, in particular through the use of low-carbon materials, including a minimum of 50% concrete with reduced CO2 emissions, and recycled materials, in particular for the aluminium facades. The tower site will also offer 100,000 hours of social integration in partnership with EPEC, the Ensemble Paris Emploi Compétences association.
The tower, which will generate 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, will be completed in 2026. BESIX will work closely with the project management team appointed by URW: the engineering firms Setec and Egis, respectively in charge of the design studies for the structure and fluids, and Artelia as the execution project manager.
The Tour Triangle will be the third high-rise building built by BESIX in Paris. It joins the Dexia (CBX) and Carpe Diem towers in the La Défense district. The Carpe Diem Tower was the first tower to be awarded both HQE and Leed certification and the first Leed Platinum certified tower in France.
BESIX is a group based in Brussels, Belgium, present in 25 countries and on 5 continents, in the construction, real estate development and concessions sectors. Its iconic achievements include the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's tallest tower, European Parliament buildings in Brussels and the Grand Egyptian Museum on the plateau of the Giza pyramids.BESIX Engineering, the group's engineering department, enables BESIX to carry out complex and unique projects, particularly in technical and environmental terms.
In 2021, BESIX delivered the French Pavilion for the Dubai World Expo, an example of bioclimatic architecture, and is building the Saint-Denis Pleyel station of the Grand Paris Express, the Nice Airport Promenade building complex in Nice, the Deloitte University EMEA in Bailly-Romainvilliers and the Ambroise Paré, Pierre Cherest and Hartmann clinic in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
Its emblematic projects in France include the Santé Pôle in Melun, the new EDF Research and Development Centre in Paris-Saclay and the structural work on Terminal 2E at Charles De Gaulle Airport. In the Parisian district of La Défense, BESIX has built the Dexia Tower (CBX), as well as the Carpe Diem Tower.
