The scale model of the project, designed by architects Hubert & Roy, was exhibited at the Venice Biennale and will soon be presented at the Cité de l’Architecture in Paris, Carlyle said.

Catherine Simoni, Managing Director of Carlyle Real Estate France, commented: 'Tour 9 embodies Carlyle's strategy of extensively refurbishing high-profile buildings in strategic areas, whilst giving careful consideration to their environmental impact. We're particularly proud of this tower, as not only does it contribute to Montreuil's reputation, but it reflects a strong innovative architectural design.'

The Tour 9 meets ecological and sustainable requirements including all criteria of the HPE 2005 Label (High Energy performance Label).
