Press release by Treize Cent Treize Press Agency - HEKLA, June 2021
An Ambitious Operation
Designed by Jean Nouvel to be a powerful statement, HEKLA is a masterpiece of design which will, by 2022, have enriched the architectural heritage of Grand Paris and redefined the southern skyline of Paris La Défense.
In France and internationally HEKLA will represent a particularly inspired and creative array in the corporate real estate sector as much through its size and distinctive shape as through its endeavour to offer a whole new experience. The leaders of the project truly believe that the tower represents a coherent and truly unique prospect for a company with a major business project.
Particularly eye-catching in the landscape of the largest business district in Europe, it, in turn, will provide occupants with exceptional views, stunning panoramas of Paris La Défense, the city of Paris, Mont Valérien and Western Paris.
At 220 meters high, one of the business district's highest buildings, HEKLA develops 76,000 square meters floor area of offices and services over 49 stories and can accommodate up to 5,800 employees in work spaces which are among the most innovative and environmentally-friendly in Paris La Défense.
Loggias and terraces on all levels will enhance the warm golden nuances of HEKLA's facades and on its summit, the tower will be adorned with a rooftop terrace planted with trees.
A Project Set on an Ever-Moving Area of Land
Paris La Défense, A Dynamic Business District
Around 3,500 national and international corporations have offices in Paris La Défense, a symbol of audacity and modernity, a truly strategic decision-making hub. These sectors of excellence endow Paris La Défense with a magnetic appeal which not only attracts international employees but makes them want to stay.
A veritable living environment, Paris La Défense is constantly reinventing itself via ambitious urban development programs and projects like the new leisure and concert hall Paris La Défense Arena, innovative restaurant spaces and Table Square, a variety of retail spaces with the Westfield Les 4 Temps and the CNIT, as well as myriad cultural events all year round.
La Rose de Cherbourg, an Area Undergoing Major Redevelopment
Strategically located in the La Rose de Cherbourg district of which it will be the new emblem, HEKLA is set in an urban environment which is the focus of a major regeneration program, 300 meters from the Coeur Transport public transport hub.
The urban developer of the site, Paris La Défense, has an ambitious high-quality redevelopment program planned, involving revamping a former ring road of the Boulevard Circulaire which gives access to the tower, and transforming it into an overhead pedestrian walkway 450 meters long. Planted with trees and shrubs, like the New York High Line, it will be a perfect place for sporting and leisure activities of all descriptions. Thanks to an impressive urban redevelopment program, HEKLA will blend into some 1.3 hectares of green spaces.
The new urban square which will be created, bordered by Avenue Du Général de Gaulle, will provide vehicles with easy access to the building (car parks, taxi and VIP dropoffs) and will give access to the tower's main entrance via the lower lobby. As for HEKLA's upper lobby, it will be directly connected to the pedestrian walkway.
HEKLA, a Unique Location on the Edge of Grand Paris
The construction of HEKLA is perfectly in keeping with the development strategy for Paris La Défense, the aim of which is to boost the appeal of Europe's largest business district and its international influence. The tower is therefore in an ideal location, in close proximity to the Coeur Transport multimodal hub, on a site which is highly-coveted by corporations.
HEKLA could thus become the headquarters of one or several French or international corporations, who would benefit from the excellent infrastructure of Paris La Défense in terms of transport. The arrival of RER EOLE (east-west express link) in 2023, and then Line 15 of the Grand Paris Express will further enhance transport links to the business district.
Update on the construction
In view of the confined area of the site's triangular footprint and the proximity of functional underground elements, building HEKLA is a technical feat. In fact, the railway tunnel for Line L of the regional Transilien rail network and the T2 Tramway lies beneath the building. To maintain the integrity of the building's underground structure while supporting the 220-meter-high tower, the foundations required the use of a range of different techniques.
The installation of the curtain wall of the HEKLA tower began in January 2021. The glass panels are gradually covering the whole building, revealing the future faceted silhouette of the tower.
The cladding is being progressively extended with the installation of the sunshades since mid-February. Together, nearly 22 km of gold-coloured brise-soleil and 45,000 m2 of glass facades will be installed by 2022.
