Work begins on the Île de Corse block in Nancy
Last Thursday, the foundation stone of the Îlot de l’Île de Corse was laid in the presence of Martin Bouygues. This 28,000 m² development will comprise 239 homes, 5,400 m² of offices, a 110-room three-star Pierre & Vacances residence and ten shops totalling 1,500 m².
The scheme is being built on a former GDF-Suez industrial site, at the corner of Quai Sainte-Catherine and Avenue du Vingtième Corps, not far from Place Stanislas. From 1835 to 1951 the site was a gasworks; its installations were later dismantled to make way for the EDF-GDF customer service centre and the headquarters of GRT Gaz. The programme retains the EDF customer service building.
The technical side of the design team's work is handled by the engineering consultancy CSD Ingénieurs, while the architectural commission is split into three packages: Architectures Anne Démians for the building wrapped in a stainless steel skin, which houses the tourist residence and the offices; Mijolla Monjardet Architecture for the residential block for PERL / OPH Nancy; and André & Moulet Architecture for the group of 91 BBC Effinergie homes and the eight shops.
Note that the contractor building the project, Pertuy Construction (a Bouygues subsidiary), will move its head office there in spring 2014.
