The CMA CGM Tower is an office skyscraper, 147 meters (482 feet) tall, in the Euroméditerranée district of Marseille. Zaha Hadid designed it, Arup was the structural engineer, and the Vinci subsidiary GTM Construction built it. It was Hadid's first tower.
The owner and client is CMA CGM, a freight company, whose headquarters it houses. It brought together about 2,200 employees who had been spread over seven sites. Construction began in July 2006, and the building was completed in September 2011, after delivery was pushed back from 2009.
The tower has 33 floors and 94,000 square meters of floor area. It is meant to interact with landmarks such as the Château d'If and Notre-Dame de la Garde.
