More than 90 years after Môrice Leroux, Nicolas Michelin, chief architect of the ZAC des Gratte-Ciel has just unveiled further details of the firm’s latest project. The first building permits have been signed and delivery is expected for 2026.
The new buildings will rise ten floors with exterior balconies and terraces and communal green and roof spaces.
In total, the new development will enable 855 new apartments, with 21 percent of those affordable housing, 22 percent social housing, and 25 percent free housing, but whose selling prices will be capped.
The extension of the Gratte-Ciel district over nearly three hectares will also be an opportunity to create public spaces and bring new shops to the street-level. The 15,800 square meters of commercial premises will be acquired and managed by the Société Villeurbannaise d’Urbanisme (SVU), which already owns and manages the Gratte-Ciel buildings.
