But these are not at la Défense and I don't expect them to be the landmark this Hekla tower would be if it was neatly built.
Highrise construction is resuming over la Défense. It seems we'll have 4 office towers, including at least 2 merely speculative under construction as of 2017 over la Défense alone, and I'm wondering how the district market will take up all that additional office space, cause it's not like we'd be in a totally thriving economy yet.
