Owners reject massive renovation plan for Paris' iconic Montparnasse Tower
The co-owners of the Montparnasse Tower voted to scrap the proposed overhaul of the Paris landmark.
A meeting of the tower's co-owners resulted in a decision to abandon the ambitious redesign. The plan had called for a greenhouse atop the building, a glass-clad façade, and new hotel and retail spaces. Supporters of the project announced the vote on a Wednesday, marking the end of the redevelopment effort.
Why it matters
The decision halts a high-profile redevelopment that would have reshaped Paris' skyline and commercial space.
