The CMA CGM Tower is a 147-metre (482 ft) tall skyscraper in Euroméditerranée, the central business district of Marseille, France. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it is the headquarters for CMA CGM, a major shipping firm, hosting 2,200 employees previously spread over seven sites.
Zaha Hadid was selected to design the building in November 2004 and it became her first built tower.[2][3] 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.[4] Built by Vinci subsidiary GTM Construction,[5] the building has 20 lifts to service its 33 floors[6] and was completed in September 2011.
