The CMA CGM Tower is a 147m tall skyscraper in Euroméditerranée, the central business district of Marseille, France. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it will be the headquarters for CMA CGM, a major shipping firm, consolidating 2000 employees currently spread over 7 sites.
Zaha Hadid was selected to design the building in November 2004.[2] It is intended to interact with other landmarks of the city including the Château d'If and the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, which stands taller than the tower on a rocky outcrop.[3] Built by Vinci subsidiary GTM Construction,[4] the building has 20 lifts to service its 33 floors[5] and is due for completion in late 2010.
