Overview
- The 210-meter tower has shut to the public to start a full renovation, with the famed roof terrace now closed.
- Works are expected to run at least until the end of 2030 at an estimated cost of about €750 million, according to the operator and press reports.
- Magnicity says visitors should still get panoramic views after reopening, with plans to replace the open-air terrace with a rooftop greenhouse and to rebuild the dining space below.
- The plan outlines two to three hotel floors while keeping most levels as offices, plus a wider base, a brighter glass exterior, and a Renzo Piano redesign of the attached mall.
- The closure halts visits to a site that drew roughly 30 million people and caps decades of debate over the tower’s stark look, which helped prompt Paris’s 37-meter height limit for new central buildings.
