The main construction work on Geneva’s tallest tower has finished.

The 90-meter-tall tower is 60 cm higher than the previous record holder, the Lignon Tower. 

The tower is part of the redevelopment of the la Praille-Acacias-Vernets sector and owned by Pictet Bank. 

The building is 23 storeys high, 55,000 m2 of offices and a hundred apartments ranging from 3 to 5 rooms. The foundations are 72 metres deep. 

Although the main building work is over, it will take another year to finish. It will be inaugurated in the first half of 2026.
