The structural work is now complete for work package 7 in the western sector of the Clichy Batignolles Urban Development Zone, where we were able to tour the Construction Privée site for a seven-floor office building topped with a mezzanine floor and a photovoltaic roof. The building is compliant with France’s 2012 heating regulations and is High Environmental Quality (HQE) certified. It is also a part of the City of Paris’s Energy Climate Plan. Building O7 will become one of the major fixtures of the new Batignolles eco-neighbourhood’s future service sector. What an achievement!

Last but not least, the Louvre post office! This post office, located at 52 Rue du Louvre, closed its doors in 2015 for major renovations. When it reopens in 2018, La Poste will occupy just 10,000m² of the building’s total 35,000 m² space. The rest will contain a luxury hotel (7,200 m² with a panoramic deck), social housing units (1,200 m²), offices (10,000 m²), businesses (2,300 m²), a nursery, and a police station. Rénovation Privée had to repair all the flooring of the superstructure. As a result, the metal structure designed by architect Julien Guadet is once again visible.
