- ‘Le Mirabeau’ will be completed in 2023 to welcome new companies at the heart of the Marseille Skyline.

The CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, and Bouygues Immobilier, one of France’s leading real estate developers, have announced the start of construction on the new ‘Le Mirabeau’ tower.
‘Le Mirabeau’, to be built on the site of the historic CMA CGM Group Head Office, where Jacques Saadé began the CMA CGM adventure, was designed by architect Hala Wardé. The tower has been conceived as a flagship building, taking its place in Marseille’s new Skyline and crowned by a space looking out to distant maritime horizons.
A unique architectural statement, ‘Le Mirabeau’ will combine comfort, innovation, technology, services and well-being, with panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the city of Marseille. This keystone project is built around three priorities:
- Quality of life, thanks to facilities to ensure a pleasant working environment for employees,
- Optimised security, through technological and digital innovation,
- The environment, with a sustainable building meeting the highest standards.
