A strategic site at the heart of a 700,000 sq.m service office space.
A remarkable location just outside Paris with the benefit of top quality transport links: RER C, Tramway T2 linking La Défense to Issy-les-Moulineaux (soon to be extended to Porte de Versailles), Tramway des Maréchaux nearby, line 8 (Balard station) and line 12 (Corentin Celton station) of the Métro. The site is near the Boulevard Périphérique and has easy access to the Left and Right Bank Seine Expressways. The little-known but very pleasant Parc Suzanne Lenglen, complete with high-quality sport facilities adds a touch of nature to this highly urban environment.
These buildings also have a very rare quality. They are all flagship buildings with high visibility.
They have all been granted the NF Bâtiment Tertiaires and the High Environmental Quality labels, and have the benefit of easy operation with energy savings through the implementation of innovative solutions and the consideration of residents’ health and comfort.
Consideration by the cities of Paris and Issy-les-Moulineaux of the potential to convert industrial sites into a business district by adapting rules on town planning.
Political desire to take advantage of these new opportunities in order to:
- create a new district,
- encourage employment,
- improve the urban landscape of sites that are still not part of structural developments,
- offer high-quality developments that are safe for both pedestrians and traffic.
This operation is carried out in conjunction with the City of Paris, the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux and Bouygues Immobilier.
Conversion of the last remaining obsolete industrial zones where Paris meets Issy-les-Moulineaux – creation of a new entry to the cities.
Before :
• Former EDF towers, the former FIAT Alpha Roméo garage, a petrol station…
After :
• Extension of the T2 tram line between Issy Val de Seine and Porte de Versailles
• Creation of a pedestrian walkway along the future tram line
• Renewal of the entry to the City of Issy-les-Moulineaux and the 15th arrondissement of Paris
• Widening of Bara and Henry Farman streets
• Almost 160,000 sq.m of new office space for delivery in 2010, all of “very” High Environmental Quality and designed by reputed architects, such as:
27,000 sq.m by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, in Paris, scheduled for delivery in early 2010
110,000 sq.m by Bernardo Fort Brescia from the American firm Arquitectonica:
- Eos Generali (46,000 sq.m) (in collaboration with Bruno Willerval).
- The 45,500 sq.m Tour Mozart, future Bouygues Telecom head office.
- 16,500 sq.m ready-to-use space in Issy-les-Moulineaux, scheduled for delivery at the end of 2009
A two-phase 24,000 sq.m project, designed by Christian de Portzamparc, including the future head office of Bouygues Immobilier.
• 1,000 sq.m of ground-floor commercial outlets
• Approximately 10,000 employees
A strong identity for this forward-looking district
High Environmental Quality Procedure (HEQ)
High Environmental Quality® (HQE) approach
Operations that go one step further than certification with ambitious profiles:
an entire High Environmental Quality business district.
Ongoing information campaign
for local residents and population as the worksites progress (billboards, information leaflets, etc.)
Green worksites :
A worksite that respects the environment is the natural continuation of environmental quality efforts that were implemented at the building's design phase. All construction sites generate nuisances for the surrounding environment; the challenge of having low-environmental impact sites is to limit nuisances for the benefit of the local residents, workers and the environment.
• Ongoing information and awareness campaigns for worksite personnel,
• sound pollution limited inside as well as outside the worksites,
• special attention to reducing dust and mud emissions,
• optimised consumption of water and energy.
Reducing the consumption of energy and resources :
• primary energy consumption less than 30% of that of RT2005-compliant offices
• overall primary energy consumption will be half of the average for French office premises
• CO2 emissions(@12kg/ sq.m per annum), representing an excellent performance
• Reduced proportion of glazed surfaces to minimise the need for air-conditioning
• Multi-criteria studies (acoustic, insulation, sunlight, thermodynamics) to ensure that all possible measures have been taken to ensure the comfort of the building’s future users and to reduce energy needs
• Use of solar energy (photovoltaic cells, thermal solar panels) for example for the production of domestic hot water for the company's canteen
• Different façades depending on their exposure (double or single insulation, etc.)
Waste sorting ans collection :
• Management of worksite waste: selective sorting and collection
• Waste disposal areas designed to accommodate selective sorting
More than 1,600 sq.m of bicycle storage space
, well as parking spaces for motorcycles.
