CMA CGM, the fifth largest shipping company in the world, developed the project with the help of the regeneration agency, Marseilles-Euroméditerranée. At 110 m high, the glass tower will dominate Marseilles harbour when it is completed in 2007. A model of the building will be on display on the Marseilles-Euroméditerranée stand at MIPIM from 8-11 March.
